It's been my experience that cattle ranchers don't make good goat ranchers. (not that you wouldn't). Goats need to be treated a lot differently then cattle. Think DEER. Goats need better shelter, better feed, and better care then cows. Treat a goat like you treat a cow, and you will lose it. They will eat what a cow won't, so they can be pastured together. They love trees, multiflower rose (ANY rose) and weeds. They are escape artists. A regular 5 wire barb wire fence will not hold them. You will need woven or 2-3 strand electric. They are also good at getting their heads caught in fences. They are enormous fun to have around and are diligent entertainers. They require that you take care of their hooves. Parasites can be a problem. They do not like rain or nasty snow storms. You MUST have inside shelter for them. Don't just jump into it - read up first. Goats are NOT just "small cows", they are closer related to Deer, then anything else.
