goats do not make good pets!!! if you don't tether them or put them in a pen that is made of iron they will eat their way through everything!! they make such a mess and are happier in large terrain. i hate seeing them tethered in yards :(

Does anyone know what the dangly things on their necks are for?

They are called "Tassles" or "Toggles". They have no purpose or function, and are just a hollow tube of skin.

Googled it :P

Had 4 kids in today to be de-budded. They were between 4-7 days old and so so so cute! My dad used to live on a farm and they had two pet goats there who used to be so much fun! Need to get a bigger garden!!
