Hello and Welcome. You sound like you are already well down the road. I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences with the goat.

I used to keep 30 Angora goats before moving here, and although its a little harder work, it is far easier to keep them than sheep any day
Different breeds of Goats need different management though
A major part of survival is invisibility.

Thank you all for the warm welcome
I have my other half sold on the self sufficiency side, it wasn't hard when the chickens started appearing, next job is getting her into field-craft
The goat, Trigger, is a young wether we re-homed. We've had him for a couple of weeks now, I see it as a practice run for getting more in the future. When I can free up some time I'll write a more in depth article about it.
