Anyone have a goat?

Just get a mexican to mow your lawn for you.

Maybe someday you'll figure out how it works. Think about it - which women are lactating? The ones with babies. Do you know where babies come from? Gonna need more than just a female goat. (Unless you do artificial insemination.)

A small barn with a few animals is part of the plan for the future. I am going to turn that patch into pasture and let the animals handle it.

You'd be surprised at how many animals won't touch the grass/weeds above a septic bed.

So how many storks would you need then for just 1 female goat?

Goats tend not to eat grass and instead eat all the good stuff in your yard. Chickens might be good. They are too short to eat much else then grass and even roosters are easy to handle if you raise them from birth(you can also buy one of those portable chicken coops and move it from one section of lawn to another while avoiding poisonous plants such as buttercup, its a 2 in 1 deal, fertilizer and lawn mowing!). They also are fairly hardy and will supply you with eggs. If you want animals to weed for you too you can train ducks to eat only certain types of weeds(the non-poisonous kind) and even bugs.

Hrrm...I never even thought about chickens. They are pretty noisy, are they not?

Thanks for the suggestion.

God damn it! The mound is by far the hardest part to mow!

Well after that, grass would be the last thing on your mind, since you would be able to see it after you stab your eyes out.


Mr.Pizza. How much is a goat?

Some people i've spoke with say you can get a decent mixed breed at a livestock auction for like $20.
