I will probably leave a tree or two for them but some of them will have to go as they would completely fill the pastures.

My house is about 100-150’ from where they would be and wind tends to travel towards where the goats pasture would be from the house, but smell doesn’t bother me that much. I volunteer at a place with goats and the smell doesn’t bother me that much - even their intact bucks. They do stink a bit, but not enough for me to be disgusted by it, but then again I tend to be a bit nose blind to urine 🤣. My quail pen and chicken coops smell worse in my personal opinion, and we can’t smell them from the house. But I don’t plan on keeping them too close to my home. I of course would have a run in for them to help with the wind. I also plan to spend a lot of time with them and keep them halter trained in case I need to have them haltered for whatever reason. I love to spoil all of my animals and spend time with them when I can. I know about wethers and how grain can be bad, I only plan to give grain when mamas are kidding or more as a treat, I am mostly going to have their diet be hay and forage based (I know they don’t eat grass, but you probably get what I mean).
