Snickers is a new addition to our small farm. He is a cute little pygmy goat who came to us when his owner passed away unexpectedly. Snickers is really more of a pet than a part of the farm since he is our only goat and we have no plans to ever eat him and, quite obviously, can't milk him. He is very friendly and "talks" to us whenever we are outside. When he is out of his pen he follows us around the yard tasting the landscaping.
Housing
He currently resides in a dog house inside a fence. When the weather permits he is moved out to the field on a line so he can get more exercise. We have been told that goats are herd animals and he will need a friend to keep him company. There isn't room for a friend in Snickers' current accommodations so we have to figure out how to make room for a friend for him. It's possible we might be able to make space in the RV garage for goats. Our barn is small (12x16?) and currently houses 6 rabbits and our small flock of chickens so there is no room in there for goats, even pygmy goats!
