goats are way more entertaining. i grew up working on a farm that had about 20 head of sheep, 20 nubian goats for milk, and a handful of pygmies for meat.

Goats are fascinating. Sheep largely keep to themselves.

I used to have 7 and just handed off my last two to another hobby farm. Even after 9 years Red my oldest doe, was friendly, curious, and very social. Sundance, her oldest wether, was playful and very dog like.

Goats make great pets.

Second that. Goats can be pretty dog-like as far as loving human attention and playing.

Is cannibalism legal where you are?

Pygmy is also a type of goat.

Is cannibalism legal anywhere at all? I'd be surprised if it was.
