Some even require shearing. And keeping fresh water available at all times isn't always easy.

Not to mention feed and hay for the winter. And bringing out melted water when it freezes.

And what if you want to travel? You got to get a farm sitter.

And keeping goats behind a fence is very difficult. Anyway, it's cheaper for me to get it bush hogged.
