Since we brought our first goats home and started sharing their photos and stories here, we’ve heard “I want a goat! Do they make good pets?” from several folks.

We’ve offered some information and advice in those individual conversations, but I think it’s about time I also talked about this here on the site. Goats absolutely have unique needs, so if you are starting to consider bringing them into your life, there are some things you need to know.
