Sheep vs. Goats
Listen now
Description
Some people talk about sheep and goats as if they are practically the same species, but nothing could be further from the truth. I've been breeding and milking Nigerian dwarf goats since 2002 and LaMancha goats for about 10 years. It may come as a surprise that I also bred Shetland sheep for 12 years and have had Katahdin hair sheep for six years now. In this episode, I am talking about how the two species are similar and different and why you might prefer one species over the other.
