Welcome to The Change Underground Goats Page!

Goats come in a variety of forms. One or a combination can be found that will suit your needs and temperament.

These wonderful creatures are the reason why I farm. Not everyone takes to goats, I understand that. The key to goats, indeed the key to all good animal husbandry, is good fences. The Change Underground System relies upon a zero grazing system that provides 45 m² per adult animal. They are housed, as a minimum, in pairs. You have to watch for bullying early on but goats tend to sort out hierarchies fairly quickly and settle down to life. They also thrive on routine. This is particularly true of milking goats.

Dairy goats are available in standard and miniature, meat goat lines vary in size and are probably not an option for the smaller block of land. Cashmere and, more particularly, Angora wethers for fibre production would be ideal. Wethers are reasonably docile, especially if handled daily, and have more personality than sheep.
