for people who love the littlest dairy goats
New Goat Owner
Hi thank you for letting me join this group. I am new to having goats and just brought home two 9 week old NDGs wethers (brothers) today. I have experience with sheep but know that there are differences in caring for each of them. I primarily wanted to get these for pets. I already have some questions and look forward to learning a lot more about goats.

Welcome! The biggest differences between sheep and goats are ...
1. sheep are grazers and goats are browsers
2. goats need a LOT more copper than sheep do
3. their personalities are very different!
Feel free to post pictures of your new babies and start asking questions!
