An opportunity from this unusual pet?

Do the goats respect boundary fences, I wonder. I'd hate to cause issues with the neighbours. Someone in our area has got some peacocks which seem to roam free; I guess they probably should but they're definitely not top of the popularity polls in the district.

We raised goats when we lived in CA. No they don't respect fences or any boundaries. If they can get thru, bingo! they will. We did not raise pygmys only the full sized critters.

Our neighbor, 5 houses down, raised pygmys. Real cute but a real pain in the a**. What people forget is they are animals and need to be taken care of properly and fed correctly.

I could preach on and sound like an idiot PETA member but I'd bet the animal shelters will be full of pygmy goats by the end of the year. Too bad for the animals that the humans in charge don't have a brain.

These goats are probably fine as pets, if properly taken care of and properly confined and protected. Probably not so good as an investment.

Back during the Emu craze that was primarily in Texas, but spilled over into my town, people lost everything betting on them.

There was even an Emu Burger joint that stayed open for almost a month. I tried one, like a lot of people. Wasn't bad, but nothing to write home about.

Some people tried to sell Emu Oil, which must have been a bear to collect. Supposed to be good for aches and pains.

I flew a guy around so he could locate his lost $5,000 bird. Never saw it.

Those goats do look tasty though. Kind of a spendy meal.
