Lets start at you saving a goat from slaughter a definite up about adopting a goat. Take a look at this goat she is very lucky for now, she works at the sale barn where most slaughter animals are sold. She helps comfort sheep/goats into the sale ring. Looking at her weight says she could make a good 80 dollars to slaughter. She does not have the greatest life for as you can see she is tied up to the fence.A down would be their curiosity in taste, no it is not true that goats will eat anything however they will eat almost anything. For instance every year on the fourth of July all the children and grandchildren all gather at my grandma's house and we put together a game fair and in 2007 my cousin decided to have a balloon dart game and some of the popped balloons landed on the ground luckily my mother saw one of the goats eating one and I was barley able to get it out of her throat.
Another plus side is our goats are used to other animals including llamas, horses (they were not put in with them like the cows donkeys and miniatures ), miniature horses, sheep, cats, and dogs.
Depending on your point of view there is the 'scape goats' or the ones who tend to 'test' your fence so if you want a nice sturdy fence call the experts!
A couple more great things about goats are they are very personable, hardy, and just so funny to watch! Our goats will be tamed down to where you and others can walk up to them and pet them. Also they will be used to children and are great entertainment for them!
