Goats raised by themselves seldom finish out well. If you can only purchase one show wether, try to purchase a pet or companion goat. Once you have a reputation for good management some breeders will loan out doe kids to use as companions while you are feeding out your show wether. Goats need very minimal facilities. Good fencing is real important.
Goats are great escape artists and can climb or crawl through just about anything.
They are easy to install, sturdy, and make a nice looking fence. A long narrow pen is preferable over a square pen. This gives the goats more room to run. Also, be sure to have a small chute or catch pen at one end. Children should be able to catch the goats without assistance.
