Sam & Bev drink, and chat with Erica Hopkins, AKA The Goat Chick, all about making Nigerian dwarf goats! They cover how to find a goat that meets your needs, getting them registered, making money with your goats, line breeding, and getting your does bred when you don’t have a buck.

Bev & Sam remind you which episode the winter keeping chicken tips are in, go over the January Henny & Roo Box, growing stuff on the moon, how to get your goat herd tested for all the scary goat diseases, how the milking stand worked out for the first round of goat hoof trimming, and how caring for livestock is more than just “hard-work” it’s scary and intimidating sometimes.
