Goats might be great for you but I prefer dairy sheep as they are much easier to handle and the milk is just as good.

If you can get your name out there the profit for cheese making can be quite good. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel, just look at what types are popular in local stores and reproduce them if they are simple enough. Another underrated use of goat and sheep milk is to make mozzarella.

Sheep are cool man. We had some when I was a kid...

My Ktahadin and Black Faced scottish...

I just love goats... they have so much personality, but yea they can be a pain... I dont really have a problem with goats now that I have been doing it for a long time... I just dont feel like having a ram and sheep at this point, but who knows...

I recently got into ducks, have chickens of course but man ducks got some real personality too... Gonna keep incubating ducks eggs, have 20 or so ducks now...

The main issue with sheep is that they are so dumb, although that is kind of what makes them so easy to handle.

I don't have a problem with handling my meat goats. They are kind fat and slow... And I built a nice catch area for my buck. He isn't aggressive at all.

The horns are kinda like handles to hold them

I have meat sheep. I understand they make decent milk sheep too. I want to learn how to milk them...

You can milk them by hand like any other ruminant, but I would recommend getting a milking machine, they make small ones that that take 1-2 head at a time, and they are fairly affordable.

I'll look into it. I'm still trying to learn the best way to handle them. I'm a complete newbie.
