Anybody got a pet goat

CATWOMEN

HI
To anybody who has a pet goat.
I have a male goat billy he is almost a year old.
would love to hear from anybody else who's a goat owner.

sorella

Had one some while ago; fascinating creatures.

But she was a nanny.

A working pet.

Billies stink when they get older:)

Excuse me my billy smells lovely.
he can be a bit stubborn. he is brill no need for a lawnmower
he keeps my garden very tidy.

sorella

Ah, he is young yet; you have all that "delight" ahead still



and yep; he will eat everything in sight.. flowers, vegetables...

To be honest a lot of people have said he might smell.
its really to do with there wee
So what i do is move his pen clockwise around the garden so he has plenty of fresh ground. the poo is swept up everyday.
It dose not smell or will it attract flies my roses were better than anything ive
ever seen.
to keep grass cut i put on his harness he is then connect to a wire that runs along the garden so he can only eat what i want him to eat.
for a male he is very content doing this . he is not a worry to anybody and he is a happy goat.
all this work takes on average half an hour a day.
well worth it i feel.

You are hapy; he is happy so no problems there.

It is their male hormones that kick in later that smell so dreadful..

Where I lived before, there was an old man who used to go to the Post Office;he kept goats and stank always of billy goat.

The Post Mistress used to whip out an air freshener as soon as he had gone.

And when I had my nanny covered, I needed a gas mask to go near her for a few days.

Happy days of long ago...

Who knows the women in our po probably
dose the same when i leave.
But i think good hygiene is very important
it prevents disease and kills a lot of smells.

At his age he is not mature ... yet....

My nanny had horns, a beard and toggles:)

I have a milking nanny .she is a polly and a real dote .I have had entire males but the smell is awful/even if you stroke the males the smell is everywhere .

sorella

Unforgettable!!!

I enjoyed my nanny hugely.

Hi trx
Think one is enough, don't think two males will get on to well together
Think there's a goat sanctuary in cork,
they might be able to help
Wouldn't mind putting billy out for stud if any one has a cute female goat.
