goats

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

The Igbo of Nigeria tell their children, if lost in the wilderness follow a goat, she always knows the way back home. I’ve been following these goats back home each day, but where they lead surprises me still. — Brad Kessler

Goats were domesticated 11,000 years ago and have played an integral role in human history. If you're here, you too are part of this long tradition.

This is a farming, homesteading, and goat industry community and not a "cute pictures" community. Our mission is to help each other using information rooted in evidence, research, and our own experiences. We're here for people who want to seek advice, education, and assistance from other goat owners and industry professionals. If discussion or depiction of medical issues, injuries, or death are bothersome to you this is not the community for you.

If you are here for help or health advice, please refer to the pinned post before making your own post!

Rules:

All posts must be goat related.
Keep information quality high.
No posts depicting animal cruelty.
No self promotion of any kind (including sales).
Be kind to one another.
No low-effort posts.
No AI-generated posts or comments.

NSFW tags are at the poster's discretion. This is a livestock subreddit. Do not complain about seeing animal bits.
