We wanted a goat. Or goats. Checked out the (the) goat book from the library and were off-put, but we're just city people. What do you do about the horns? The book described something ungodly horrible, and also castration and certain other husbandry jobs looked cruel. And you breed them? Do you do the entire goat experience?
THE goat book from the library? I wonder if that is the goat bible? Horns are meant to be on a head. You can wrap rubberbands around the little guys scrotum and they will naturally fall off. He won't even miss em. maybe.
Yes, in Marshall, as of two years ago. THE goat book was the only nonfiction book about goats I could find, something by Gail Luttman from the 1970's, Raising Milk Goats for Fun and Profit, or something. Apparently state of the art goatherd technology has evolved since then. Or.. could be she didn't know what she was talkin' about.
The Red Heart began as an old school zine following the adventures of Ms. Shealy. Ms. Shealy finally joined the modern world in 2006, with her online contribution of the same name.

Do you sell goats regularly? We've been toying around with the idea of getting a goat next. A goat and bees.
I might breed in spring...
