I want goats so I can have a goat tower

goat_towerFor this reason alone, I would like to have goats!

There’s a neat place in Tiger, GA called ‘Goats On The Roof’ that has… well,  goats on the roof (website).  I’ve not been there, but Cindy has (and brought back a T-shirt!).

I’ve never owned goats, never been around goats, and never eaten a goat. But they seem like interesting animals, and they’re good for keeping the grass cropped. There are, in fact, companies that rent out goats for grass cutting. Google uses them, and they made the news a while back (sorry, no link).

We’ve got 2.2 acres, and we’re not in a sub-division. I’m pretty sure we’re zoned for goats, since other people have some, along with chickens and cows. But our property is rather hilly, and very difficult to fence. So I guess I won’t have goats, or a goat tower, until we move to 500 acres in the country (right after we win the lottery)…
