Reply #28: Goats are very intelligent and do make great pets [View All]

I've never owned one, but would consider it if I lived more rural. Although, there are Houstonians that keep goats in the city; it still requires a larger yard than most have available.

I was taking some pics around where I stayed in NZ recently, including this clearing on top of a nearby hill (their hills are very tall and steep.) One of their goats followed the whole way like a dog :D

I'm so sorry for your loss, kaiden. We all know that Nature is brutal and accept it, until it brutalizes one of our own and we have to deal with that trauma :hug:
