Who I love... but Im also in the process of transitioning out of my small herd of black angus cows and replacing them with boer goats... theres good money in them high demand and they are so so much easier on the land... you can run 5 or 6 for every cow they dont overgraze the pasture they make use of so much broadleaf stuff cows wont touch and their carbon footprint is even smaller fractions.
