Let us know how many and what breed of goat you have. We currently have 7 Angoras, 7 Anglo Nubian does and 8 meat goats who are at varying stages. I have 4 does due to kid this summer who will be used for milking. We co-share with the kids, so I don't remove the kids but milk around them.

Let us know how many and what breed you have. I have Isa Browns, Australorps, Araucanas, Brahmas and Faverolles. I have also had Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes. We have also raised Cob meat birds. We currently have about 35 chickens who are pasture raised, so have access to their paddock day and night.

Welcome to the Ditch the Store community! I’m so glad you’re here. This is the place to connect with others on the same path — whether you’re just starting out or already knee-deep in compost. Take a moment to introduce yourself below. Tell us where you're from and what stage you're at in your homesteading journey. I’m CJ, and along with my partner (aka the Handy Helper), we run Mojo Homestead — 120 acres in regional NSW, Australia. We raise chickens for eggs and meat, goats for milk, meat and fibre, bees for honey, and cows for dairy and beef. We grow as much of our own fruit, veggies, and nuts as we can, and make our own bread, cheese, cleaning products, and even a few crafty things. We’ve been working on ditching the store for about 8 years now, and we’re getting pretty good at it — though we still buy toilet paper! Can’t wait to hear your story.
