Hi,

I am a new member and would like some advice on raising goats for milking. I am venturing into organic goats milk soap, and would like to know the following:

• How many goats I would need to make soap for monthly/fortnightly market stalls as opposed to commercial sales
• Land requirements per goat (I have 280 treed acres)
• Best fencing and rotation schedules

I have read many books on the subject so any other practical suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

HI everyone,

What a great website and forum.  We have a 86 acre farm on the outskirts of Melbourne and love it!  Saying that, we are learning a lot.  We run Angus and some Murray Grey cattle.

Cheers,
Damien
