I didn't give you the impression that with a couple acres and some goats, you are going to be able to retire and pay off the national debt, did I? I noticed a post or two warning against get rich quick on goats. Goats consistantly pay for themselves by supply us and a couple costumers with milk, cheeze etc. They even bring a modest profit most of the time, which means that if you enjoy raising goats, you have a free hobby that often gives a slight return, but, my experience is that if you are planning to maxumize profits goats aren't the best investment. For far less work chickens will bring more return. Cows are far less maintenance than goats. Goats have a market, and if you can keep cost low, you won't lose money, unless you count loss of opportunity to have used your resources more effeciently, if you maintain your cost low. Most people I know who also raise goats use the goats to help augment their private food supply, with only small amounts going for sale. It secures their food supply against inflation and inferiour products, but doesn't affect the local food market. My point is that goats is something we do for fun not profit, but we monitor cost.
