So I'm also newish on permies so I wanted to check the policy on this but we're planning to process/harvest the second buckling shortly after we bring him home because I've read that 5 months is the time when feed conversion is still good and the goat will give you most meat. This will make my starter flock the mom doe and her  wether son. For the next year I'm considering AI or a neighbor about a mile down the road has a buck that he rents out. The problem is that from other families in town who keep a family herd of goats they say he doesn't take care of his boys very well so I'm leaning AI.

So we're new to goats. We currently raise quail and are transitioning from a small urban set up to a larger suburban set up on 2 acres. We have 1.5 acres of pasture and we'd like to get goats in the fall. A local farm a few towns over has a mamma goat that they would love to re-home. We already know why : she produces less than the other milk does and she has these small teats. Well we're not a production farm so I'm ok with the lower production and I have insanely small lady hands so small teats don't scare me. The mamma gave birth to two bucklings who have to come with her. They're mixed breed so not papered but the farm is clean and the animals look nicely taken care of. We will send off for a test after we get her home. Our plan is to wether one of the bucklings so that will be mamma's companion. I'm not aware of any problems with keeping a mom and son combo but are there any behavior problems? If we love goats (which I've been dreaming about them for years) and we add more goats to the flock will the two not accept a new non-related goat? I'm hoping I'm making mountains out of mole hills but would love to hear from people who have actually started with a similar situation.
