Gabbing about Goats

I LOVE goats. They are my very favorite animal, as I have six goats at the moment, along with four cows, one donkey, three dogs, four cats, and 14 chickens. I’m REALLY wanting peacocks.

Anyways I’ve mentioned that I have goats and we make soap out of their milk and then I saw the homemade soap recipe in the September 2018 issue and tried it, and it’s AWESOME! I was also wondering if you could do an article on goats? I know A LOT about them, but I think that if you did an article on them, then other people could see that goats truly are the greatest of all time!! People think goats are not smart and that they are smelly, but it’s not true. Goats are extremely smart; some scientists think just as or more intelligent than a dog, and I believe it! Also, if goats are kept right, they don’t stink very much!
