1st let me say Wow great response, most on Steemit will give a short response with out any detail. I have found that the Homesteading and Gardening groups are much better at providing detailed information, so thank you and keep up the good work!
You make a great point we use the same philosophy for our pigs, but age helps us plan, reserve butcher dates etc. Our goat sales would be primarily for the Spanish population around us. I was thinking I could use them for cleaning up overgrown areas of the farm, then finish them in the woods with some added feed. My wife was at a seminar and the gentleman stated that goats feed from the shoulder up, when they start eating off the ground is when you have health issues. I know I need to get some books and start reading before I get some, but any insight you could share would be great.
