- Goat Care
Taking care of goats is a major responsibility. One goat keeper correctly summarized it as, "Goat-keeping is a 365-day a year job. You cannot just say 'I do not feel like taking care of the goats today.'" While one can occasionally delegate the responsibilities of taking care of goats to a qualified individual, a goat-keeper cannot just purchase goats, put them in a field, and expect them to be okay.

Pygmy goats originated in the Cameroon Valley of West Africa. They were imported into the United States from European zoos in the 1950s for use in zoos as well as research animals. They were eventually acquired by private breeders and quickly gained popularity as pets and exhibition animals due to their good-natured personalities, friendliness and hardy constitution. Today, they are a common sight as house pets and in petting zoos.
