Welcome!!
It all started with chickens...geese and now here we are looking at GOATS.
Hello All,
My husband and I live in WNY with our 2 kids, barn cats and dog, bought a property with 20 acres and have been slowly adding some farm animals. We have 16 chickens and 12 Geese. We just decided in the last couple of months that we would like to add some goats to our little homestead. We are interested in goats to clear land for right now with the fact that our property is pretty over ridden due to the last owners of 20 years not taking care of the pastures and what not. Then maybe down the road we might look in to dairy or meat production.
Anywho long story short, I need a place to ask those questions that google can't always answer, because I am super new to all this.

Well I'm all for Nigerian Dwarfs lol their smaller but give good milk.... if you want a smaller goat easier (not easy though lol) to handle that's what I'd go with! I have a fainter cross that's harder to handleWelcome.
