Hi, welcome aboard.

You probably know this but there are small companies that have goats they use for "brush removal".

You might be able to sell them your goat. or hire him out to them. or maybe you can start your own brush clearing business.

Nice goat! Is that an Anglo-Nubian goat, by any chance?

Welcome to the forum!
No he’s a Boer goat but my dad breeds goats and many other animals. i can ask him if we have that breeds that kind of goat because a lot of our does just kidded about 280 does kidded last night and this morning

Ah, that explains it - I thought he looked a bit African! I saw some Anglo-Nubians at a sanctuary near here not long ago.

That sounds like a lot! My old boss is a sheep farmer. Well, his parents are, but he helped out sometimes, especially during lambing which is apparently a lot of work. I assume it's similar with goats. There was also some "science" involved in predicting when the lambing will happen (which meant he had to take off work and travel to the farm), and all the sows somehow gave birth within the same short window of just a few days.

Hey sorry I couldn’t get back faster we’re preparing our horses to go into foal we have about 100 rescue pregnant mares who are going into foal and we’re getting them all heated up plus other animals in the barns becuase it’s gonna get super cold here in Texas really soon.
