Thread: My wife would like us to keep a couple of goats

for their milk

can't be that hard can it?

anybody have any warnings?

i haven't done much research yet

but read this

Two goats will produce enough quality fresh milk — with each doe averaging 3 quarts a day for 10 months — to feed your family all year. Add a few more goats and you'll have enough milk for making cheese, yogurt and even ice cream.


More of the world's people consume goat milk than cow milk. Goats are hardy animals: They adapt well to heat and cold, productively forage and graze, require little space, and are inexpensive to keep. Since mature does (females) usually weigh between 120 and 135 pounds (dwarf breeds can weigh between 35 and 85 pounds), they're much easier to handle than hefty cows, which can weigh 1,000 pounds each. Goats may surprise you in other ways, as well. They're highly intelligent, remarkably friendly creatures. And, since they're active, extremely agile and very curious, their antics can amuse you for hours. With all that in mind, it's easy to see why dairy goats can be the ideal addition to today's family farm or homestead.

Do not let Bettyboo milk them for you.

Everyone keeps goats here, including in the big city. Run around eating everything on the side of the road and all. Dead easy.

cheers

just been looking round the interwebs and it does sound very easy

i love goat milk cheese

might even be able to make my own

maybe start with two

Seriously, there's 3 or 4 herds just running around my housing complex alone, dunno who they belong to or how they dont get hit by cars, but there you go.

life expectancy is around 18 years

what ages do they produce milk?

i'm sure i could google it but that's what forums are for

it's something that had never occured to me before but we were pootling around san khampaeng walking street the other night and they had a goat milk stall and were doing milking demos with some does

it's apparently something quite novel here

i also have no idea where i'd go to buy one but i shall make it tomorrow's mission

Goats are practical...
Their milk is a better choice.


As long as your at it - add a couple of geese to the family.

It's disturbing to find out that someone is starting a satanic cult in the Chiangmai area.

what is it with boo and goats?

i keep hearing references to it

summary if possible

The Midget's best mate in her village has a herd of them. Do you want us to bring a couple up or are they available locally?

I keep asking if they would butcher one for us, but all I get are disgusted looks. Same with the rabbits...

it wasn't but that's a real bonus

will that stop them from eating my tent?



btw
how much would one cost
an average one?

Does your mrs have favourite plants in the garden? They are now gone. Tents shoes, unattended chilblains, all gone. Voracious appetites and not discerning in the least.

I think the biggest cost is the aftermath not the purchase price.

We had a goat as a Regimental mascot. It bit the wife of a visiting dignitary and we had to jail it. Amusing but true.

Never on the lips.

That wasn't the picture... &, I'm prejudiced against all men with a bigger penis than me, not just black men with a bigger penis than me. I'm full of hate...
