Maybe the goats could help you keep it in check. Are they helping to control the areas of growth, so YOU guys don't have to do so much. Or is mowing still on the regular chore list?Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-33327022456156907172017-02-27T22:45:52.768-05:002017-02-27T22:45:52.768-05:00My favorite is Sky!

Some that look really "good" as kids (i.e. seem to conform to the breed standard) don't grow up that way at all. Others fill out really nicely and become good examples of the Kinder breed. Someone I know who's been breeding Kinders for much longer than I, agrees. You just have to wait and see.

Most of the people buying mine specifically want Kinders, and they'll come great distances to get them, because the breed is still pretty rare. Some people want to become breeders, other just want the perfect homestead goat. :) A lot of people who research goats before buying their first ones settle on Kinders based on description and purpose. I know I did.

It doesn't count as actual income or profit, hopefully at least enough to cover the upcoming year's feed bill.
