Just curious if any of y'all would be interested in a write up of the ins and outs of raising meat goats based on my experiences? There are a lot of good write ups out there but none really seem to cover the day to day routine of raising goats to eat. If any of y'all would be interested comment and let me know and I will prepare a write up in the animals section.

I am interested. Especially in fencing. I hear they are a pain to keep in a fence.

Me to! We have been discussing having a goat for milk. But have considered them for meat as well. We always had cattle when I grew up so I have experience with them, but zero with goats. Fencing and sheltering are my top concerns.

Do tell.....l may not raise them but might look into picking up a couple for slaughter. I'm interested in the choices for beef replacement.

My friends and I have a plot of land we were considering to use for such an endeavour (that or rabbits), so any info would be greatly appreciated!
