I am getting pressured into buying some pygmy goats for home, we have a large garden 1/4 acre, but not all of it would be available for the goats, how much would I need to let them have(ruin) Franco www.sausagemaking.org

No idea about the land they need, but do you have access to other material for them? I gather goats will eat various gatherings, branches and other vegitation. What do you plan to keep the goats for?

We intend to keep them as pets, we haven't really looked into it yet but I can buy whatever feeds are required locally. Franco www.sausagemaking.org

I think you had it sussed when you say ruined - I think they'll pretty much have a go at any vegetation. When I was young(er) my uncle used to keep goats, as did his father, etc., etc., the only thing I remember of any impact was the dead legs the little bleeders used to give me when then took a run at me

.

At least one thing Franco if they are pygmy goats they'll only hopefully strike about knee high (if you get my drift!).
