I owe a lot of money to a loan snark!

My wife and I were joking about getting some goats for the back yard. It would be nice to have something take care of the grass for me. Only problem would be what to do with them in the winter as I don't want it in the house. They tend to spread their little poop nuggets everywhere.

I'm thinking stew would be good.

Morning Guys.

My uncle tried that, and quickly discovered that:

A) some goats are just plain mean, and
B) they really will eat anything ...or at least try to and ruin it in the process. Including the dog house, tires off your lawn tractor, the siding off your house, your chin-link fence...

Can confirm, grandma bought some to "eat the weeds"... ate everything BUT the weeds... also they were dicks... LOL
 
I've only had curried goat, and I don't mean it was well-groomed.

Some. Others follow you around like a puppy and want you to pet them. Goats are weird.

Plus they are pretty good escape artists.

Spent a little while chasing one of the neighbor girl's show goats around the pasture a few years ago when they escaped. She was really concerned that they'd mess up their diet by eating anything other than the special Purina goat chow or whatever she was feeding them.

Another time, I was talking to one of the FFA kids (whose older brother was the Texas State FFA President his senior year of high school), and he said one of the cattle (Angus) ranchers he knows down near Austin once said "Goats are always looking for a place to get out; sheep are always looking for a place to die." He had a pretty low opinion of goats, but clearly sheep were in another class by themselves.

I think it's stamped on the bottom of your foot, like a gallon of milk.

Of course you can always just do the "sniff test" to see if your membership is still good.
