Hi! Im a wife in my early thirties, living on a farm in the Midwest. Just trying to make ends meet and save for our future as we remodel our old farmhouse, and stay out of debt.

2023 Goal Priorities
1.) Increase Net Worth
2.) ($500 / $1,000) HSA
3.) ($3,000 / $3,000) IRA
We're traveling just now and I often see children playing with small goats the way our kids might play with a dog of similar size. The goats don't go in the a house, they're in a giant kennel. Can goats be trained to follow children and taught games?
I'm going to use the taxes to finish off the LOC and the EF! That will be so nice completing 2 goals by February!
And yes Snafu, goats can definitely behave and learn just like dogs. Despite them being counted as livestock, they are quite intelligent. I just read an article that said 12 goats were shown a trick 4 times only. Then a year later they went and asked the goats to do the trick, and 10 of them still remembered how to do it, on the first try!
