Haven't had goats since 1977, but they're the preferred go-to for lawn care and dairy products when in need, in my opinion.funny moose was gonna post bout getting a goat and fencing the lawn in
Many early 5:30 AM mornings spent with a nanny goat on a milking stand in the barn, and me sitting on an inverted 5-gallon bucket, listening to the sound of the spray from the goat's tits hitting the stainless steel milk bucket, stoned to the bone from the 5:00 AM Colombian joints and percolated coffee in the cabin, resting my forehead on the side of a mellow nanny goat's belly as I gathered milk and they ate their grain and oats from the feed tray of the milking stand.
Bush hippie meditation.
Those were incredibly calming moments in farming memory.
But as I said earlier, stay away from billies. If you need one for breeding, rent one. They're often a HUGE pain in the ass.

Just brought up 2 more 4-wheeler trailers of white spruce from the lower property. 2 HUGE 4' pieces on each load were from a huge ant-riddled white spruce blow-down the wind gifted to us last year or so, from which the 4' sections are still quite solid, down to where the ants had eaten the core at the base area.
Nearly gathered another cord of spruce now in that tarped pile.
My back is angry, and my wife is demanding a longer break than I have time for, as the clouds are moving in, and I'm embarrassed that the winter Blizzaks are still on my truck and my RAV4. So, in a moment, and maybe one beer from now, I'm headed to the barn to load 2 mounted tires and rims at a time into the same 4-wheeler trailer and run them down to my truck, then I can lay in the silt for a while and grunt a lot.
I'm getting too slow and decrepit to keep doing this, but I've still got a pulse and the tires still need changed over, just like the wood in the bowl below the house needs gathered up.
My youngest son who promised during his speedy departure and expression of full-of-himself attitude is nowhere to be seen when these things are done these days.
Karma may catch him unawares before I do.
