Hello, we are getting 2 baby male pygmy goats that have both been castrated and had their horns removed. We also have 2 cats, will the cats go for the goats?

Pygmy goats can get on well in a mixed farmyard environment but as always its best to introduce carefully (perhaps pen them near the other animals initially) to see if there are any disagreements first.

Shavings are completely diodegradable so they can be composted or if there is not too much of it disposed of at a council recycling point in the garden waste bins. What do other keepers do with theirs, be interested to hear your solutions?

Hi. You wouldn’t usually keep two entire males together in the same enclosure. If the are castrated they will live together quite happily in a fairly modest space, say quarter of an acre, although half an acre would allow more room for rotation of the land.

#PocketFarm What is the minimum amount of space needed for two male Pygmy goats?

Pygmy goats don’t like being wet so if you can provide some shelter from the rain that would be ideal.
