Pygmy Goats

Alright, I know that this one is kinda strange, but hear me out. I already stated that I'm definitely a pets person. I'm also someone who doesn't mind pets that aren't really all that cuddly. Point in case, the reptiles that I have already written about. I don't feel the need to snuggle with any of my snakes.

Goats do have the potential for the whole cuddly thing, I guess but still I'm not the kind of person to deny the nature of a pet. Goats are meant to be outside animals, and honestly they require large amounts of land to be honestly happy. They aren't meant to be housed indoors, though I've heard stories of exactly this happening. I'm cool with an animal that needs a pasture to be happy.

The truth my house is not set up for a goat right now, so that's why I don't have one. Eventually we plan to move out to a small farm, and it probably won't be long until I own a goat or two to help keep the lawns at bay. I mean seriously, the thought of just not having to mow is definitely nice. Some might get a sheep or two to do the job, but I'd rather stick with goats.

Why pygmy goats though? I'm sure some of this is just purely a matter of taste, but pygmies are hardly little beasts, and I'd be able to up my goat to acre ratio just a bit. As a matter of fact, it would only take maybe 5-7 acres to supply a small herd, and if the herd ever outgrew the pasture, you could always sell one of the goats off.

I guess the thought of having a farm, and not having to mow both fit together as goat in my mind. Don't try to get any deeper than that, and I think we'll all be just fine.
