Is it easy to keep goats?

Question

I am thinking of getting two Billy's will they fight? Do they need extra feed other than grass? How much land do they need?

Answer 1

easy as abc.  if you have grasses

Answer 2

At the city - it is realluy, really hard as their **** smells awful.

At the farm - really easy, free meal (grass) and free toilet (land). You just need a good shelter for your goaty.

Answer 3

No, for one they seem to be able to get out from most places and vet bills can get out of control if they eat what they find!

Answer 4

Yeah, they are very low maitenance animals - its all the laws that make it hard.  You'll need ear tags, passports, papers for each animal - and heaven forbid if you want to move them from one field to another!  You'll suffocate under mountains of paperwork...

Still, just two billies shouldn't be too hard, once they've got the 'top dog' sussed, they won't fight unless there is a female involved.

Answer 7

If goats are raised correctly and disciplined from an early age, they never develop any bad habits.

Goats makes a bleating sound much like a sheep. All in all, goats make wonderful companions and pets. Goats are a pleasure to keep and give you many hours of fun watching them with their humourous ways. Goats all have very different personalities and different little habits which can be very interesting to observe.

Like sheep, goats enjoy being in a herd. Goats tend to survive better when they are in a herd rather than if they were alone. Every herd has a 'Herd Queen', who leads the herd while browsing. Goats are also much more lively than sheep and their inquisitive nature makes them humourous, enjoyable and curious pets.
