What you need to know before you bring a goat home to your backyard or farm. Goats can be used for dairy, meat, weed and brush control, or companionship. We also explain what a wether is, why it’s done, and why a wether goat may be the best thing for you if you want a couple goats running around.

There are many reasons why someone might choose to keep goats. On our farm they are dairy animals, but they can also be kept for meat, weed and brush control, or as little backyard companions. There’s a lot that goes into keeping goats but this should be a good introduction.

We also explain what a wether is, how that process works, and why it may be performed on a male goat. In our opinion if you plan on keeping pet goats a couple of wethers are perfect.
