What you need to know about goats?
I have two Horses, and I'm hoping to bring home to my property this summer. I always loved goats, and wants to ensure that you have some when / if I put my house horses. However, I do not know anything about taking care of them. I know where the saved, and have already put pen up (former owner of my hobby farm had goats) with many things to climb, housing, through electrical (hollow Ritchie designed for goats, sheep and small animals) and a height close enough so they can not escape. Is there something I should add? Besides, what kind of things can / must eat. Beans, carrots, hay, etc. The pen has grass, but I'm sure that will run up fast enough. I'll get adult pygmy goats. Please tell me everything I need to know. Thank you in advance!
Entire books have been written about pygmy goats. All are available in a free library that either. I suggest you read about them. There is not much to write here.
