Was away fishing yesterday and Ruth had 2 kids in distress. 1st kid was stuck so wife pulled him out all deformed, 2nd kid born dead. We tried to our best to save the buckling but it looks like the best thing to do is to relive it's misery.
So regretfully I must go out there and cut it's throat. sounds brutal but that's better than shooting in head, could take to vet, but this is something I feel I must do oh so regretfully...
Wife name him sprit because he is trying so hard, but again we cannot let it suffer....
Must be strong....Sad and strong....'

How much room do goats need to frolic and do their goat stuff? Chickens seem like they can be happy as a clam in a relatively small area, but do goats need pasture type land like you would see with a coat.

Can be on pasture we feed hay. Goats need companionship a lone goat is no good.
A medium size area with shelter is needed...

Meant to say pasture sized land like you would need for cows or horses:) Goats seem much lower maintenance and like something you

edit: holy batman my typing is sucking and I am just leaving sentences hanging. LIKE something you could do on a smaller plot of land.
