Hey good to see ya.
Are those milk or meat goats, or both?
Goats are really popular right now in this area. Can't hardly buy one. They used to be super cheap at the sales? They started getting scarce, or really high in the past few years?
Are you in a bear area? Might be goat snacks.

Sweet! Haven't checked local prices but I do see raising goats in my future for a milk source and they're so cute! Good luck with them.  |

I hope they live long and prosperous and serve you well. Sometimes you're faced with deals and you just have to spring into action at the time it presences itself. They'll have plenty growing time before Winter gets here too for a better chance of surviving. |

Goats are great for cleaning up an overgrown property
just fence them in and turn them loose, they will eat everything they can reach, all they need is access to water
you can also just fence in a concentrated area and as they clean it, move the fence to the next section
In TX they had "the goat man"
Go to the goat man rent a herd of goats by the month, when they were done he gets them back
hills, draws, steep, deep, or a jungle, they don't care
clean it up head high
