Form a relationship with goats and they will follow you anywhere. They
seem to really enjoy the fellowship of humans and consequently benefit
us in more ways than milk provider and bramble clearer. A goat will be
happy to come to you for no reason other than it appears to derive some
comfort from your nearness. For you to scratch their inaccessible places
is a bonus. It would therefore seem to be ok to keep one as a pet. The
goat, however, sees this differently, she is a herd animal, she needs
companionship and her human has taken the place of the chief goat, but
the dilemma is that you are needed constantly so that to deprive your
goat of your presence is an act of unkindness. Two goats should be the
smallest number you should consider - they will seek you out equally so
that friendship is not diluted. We have five and if we stand still long
enough we find all of them surrounding us, waiting patiently.
