Something controversial or provocative about this subject (! During times of severe summer weather in the Midwest, I may experience a delay in internet service due to the interference of the satellite reception - but will answer your questions as soon as service is restored. !)

What do you like about this subject? What is there not to love about goats? They are my life! If I am on Vacation there will be help for you at my goat emergency Yahoo Group: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Med-A-Goat911/ There are also descriptive goat care articles at my website: http://Goat-Link.com

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Goats do NOT eat everything. They are fastidious eaters and require good clean mold free hay and fresh clean water daily. *goatlady in the AllExperts Top 25 for April 2008, May 2008, June 2008, July 2008,August 2008 and Sept 2008!~ Thank you for your nominations!!!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I want to help others understand their goats and be able to give their goats they best care they can.
