DIY Homesteading: Self-Sufficient Goat Keeping

When you first start off homesteading and self-sufficiency, you usually start by growing your own fruit and vegetables. When you feel you have a handle on growing your own food, your attention can then turn to keeping chickens for eggs and meat. Again, when you feel ready and have the space (you actually need a lot less space than you might think) I would recommend getting some goats. Goats are hardy, low maintenance and if you have breeding goats, you can have a constant supply of milk, cheese, yoghurt and of course a protein rich healthy meat.

Saying all of that, the keeping of any animal no matter how large or small does need careful consideration and planning. But this guide outlines the basic requirements and demands of goat keeping and provides recommendations to aid in correct management and husbandry. Life expectancy for goats is between fifteen and eighteen years! Want to know more? Click the link below to self-sufficient goat keeping…
