Self Sufficiency

And nicely done at that sir.


Goats are good for eating poison ivy also. Just dont pet them afterwards.

Goats can learn. I learned that goat something that day, and he never forgot it.

Masterfully done  

Actually, some good points are brought up in talking of stories concerning goats consuming anti-freeze and other things.

Animals can be unpredictable.  150 years ago, it was not unusual to have a farmer killed by being crushed between a barn and a wagon, because the horses decided to back up.  Crushed feet from wagon wheels and injuries by being thrown from a horse (anyone remember Christopher Reeve?) were common.

If OSHA had been around 150 years ago, horses wouldn't have been allowed for farming, mining, or any commercial business.

I'm not knocking horses or any farm animals.  Just reminding people that they are animals, and they can start themselves: unlike most cars, trucks, & tractors.

Yea, but when times get tough you can't eat your tractor! All our appliances require dependance on petro.
