[Jacob-list] goats

[Linda]

It seems that people that have a goat herd and a sheep flock together 
don't have many problems.  From these posts, it sounds like the lone 
goat doesn't do as well with sheep.  Someone mentioned something like 
that awhile ago (I think in response to a question from Shelley?).  
That was before my crash, so I don't have the post.

Dave really got to dislike the goat, even though I got her for him as 
an anniversary present. (just like I got the kitten, the Great Dane, 
and the dump dog all just for him!)   When he said, "why don't you 
get rid of those goats and get some more sheep instead"  I sure 
didn't hesitate!  Seemed a fair trade.
