Moved back to the family farm, middle of nowhere Missouri. #1 and her family moved up here and are now my neighbors living in my Mom and Dad's house. The grandsons are loving farm life.
Started with chickens, added honeybees and now we are getting into raising goats. He is an Alpine/Nigerian Dwarf cross. Next step is a few lady friends for kids and milk/cheese/butter.

Nice looking goat. A goat dairy will give you all you need with less cost/effort than a dairy cow. You can also use them to clean brush and keep the weeds down.
That is one nice looking stocky Goat. Good breeding stock there. Yep, better not have them anywhere near your vehicles.
More like, "Hurry up and get out of here so I can poop on the porch and start chewing on some of this nice furniture. Then it's off to the vehicles. You think a dog can do some damage? You ain't seen nothing yet." 😂
Had a Friend and his son and daughter in law moved in close to him and they got milk goats. My friend had a NEW Toyota truck. The big Billy goats liked to get on top of the cab of the NEW Toyota pickup and when they got ready to come down they would jump in the middle of the hood.
Damage by goats was not covered under the Toyota warranty.
Yep, them voles will now be a minor issue.

Word to the wise...........a very, very good fence!!!!!!!
The farmer I deer hunt on got some goats.
When I pulled into where I normally park, I saw the goats on top of the combine cab!
I kept right on driving.
All of his goats disappeared when they scratched up the hood of his new tractor.
The next set of goats he got were of the non-climbing variety.
I had some real good Togenburg goats. I even had a star buck. I don't even remember what a star buck means but back then it signified something special. I sold a son of my star buck to guy from Minnesota. He came to pick it up and I look at his ring finger and see a Super Bowl ring!! Fred Cox ? the field goal kicker for the Vikings back in the early 70s. Once while watching a Vikings game they mentioned his wife bred milk goats as part of the color commentator stuff.
Many years ago I grew prize winning roses as a hobby . I was a field tester for Jackson and Perkins for new varieties . My brother had goats . They escaped one day and destroyed over 100 of my roses in one day . Have hated them ever since .
