Having dairy goats has saved us quite a lot of money that we would have used to buy milk. Our secondary reason for raising goats was showing. A dairy goat show is an exhibition and competition of goats. Showing our goatsis not only fun and educational, but it also helps us to improve our herd. Goats also clear land of brush.
Many people purchase goats just to live in their cattle pastures.
They help to get rid of weeds that cows or horses don't eat. By offering goat shows throughout the year, 4-H has helped me to improve my showing skills and learn more about goats.
