I have been thinking lately with the price of gas, how much longer am I going to be able to run my riding lawn mower. I have 1.45 acres in South Plantation. I have about an acre of grass/weeds. I saw this ad for sale: FOR SALE: Registered Boer Goats Categories: Pets & Supplies Photo for Ad 88207 Ad Number: 88207 Date Posted: 05/08/2008 Contact: Dustin Selma, NC USA Telephone: 919-291-6270 E-Mail: Reply to Ad Web Site: Description I have several Full blood ABGA reg. buck and doe kids available. Most have solid red heads with four red feet. Bloodlines include Ryals Top Brass, Tank, Eggsorsist and more. Prices start at $250. I was wondering if I could get one to keep my grass cut for me I wonder how much property I need to have to have a goat. Just a thought on saving gas.
Just did a quick search and these folks have some interesting things to say: http://greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=009G8m
I do have siding but I also have alot of weeds, actually my yard is pretty much weeds . I figure it takes 4 gallons to fill up my mower. and when gas goes to 4.00 its going to cost me 16.00 each time I cut it. I saw some goats going for 200.00 a pop .It will take me 12.5 times cutting my yard to pay for one goat But then again theres the cost of fencing and any siding i need to replace
