Goats

Hey GOB...Used to raise goats.. meat and milk goats. Milking was a pain in the butt but there was a lot of profit in that milk... at least around here. Goat milk goes high here..as does meat goats..but we're getting a bunch of Mexicans here and they buy the heck out of them....as well as free range chickens(I'm talking half wild chickens). I have gotten 10 bucks apiece for the larger ones. An electric fence is good for goats but you have to have more than one or two strands. They'll crawl under or jump over. Do it...they are easy to raise. Watch out for rustlers. Some of my chickens got rustled. The expensive ones too.
