Joy, I agree about the goats being easy to manage. Mine were all pets, would come running for rubs and scratches if I walked into the pasture, knew their milking order, willingly came in to the milk house to be fed and milked, and were very entertaining. I always had some little treat for them before they went back outside, a little slice of apple, a cracker, popcorn, they never knew what it would be, but would wait and look at me if I didn't get it to them promptly. People who drank the milk often didn't know it was goat milk until I told them. My neighbor's goats are a bit of a problem when I milk them, they play games when they should be coming in, but that is because they really don't know me, and if they are not cooperative with him, he waits and trys again later, teaching them that they can do as they please. He lives right there and has that option. When I milk, I go from my place to his, and that makes a difference. I like the quote under your message. So true!
