I know I can Google most of this, and I will, but it seems there is always good information here.
I've been tossing around the idea of getting a goat. Strictly as a pet, no interest in the milk. Would there be any ill effects of not milking a goat, or if she wasn't bred would she even produce milk?
Is there a benefit to male vs. female?
How much room do they need? We have 5 acres but none of it is fenced, so I would have to create an area.
Also down the line we may add other animals to the mix, and I would like to keep them in the same area. The wife has mentioned ducks, and maybe a peacock. I guess what I'm asking is will the goat get along with other animals or are they assholes?
