We have dairy goats and sheep as well. You hit the nail on the head with your comparison. As far as personality is concerned with the two animals, it cannot be overstated that sheep act sheepish and goats act goaty.

The first thing i always ask people wondering which to get is, "are you a dog person or a cat person?" If you are a dog person, get sheep. The cat-like wickedness of goats will not amuse you. If you like cats, get either, but goats will bring you more enjoyment than sheep. And i cannot stress enough the importance of a handling system for sheep and understanding their borg-like herding trait. So different from goats.

I also will disagree. Not much of a cat person (don't hate them, but prefer them to live in the barn/outside, my dogs live inside and are obedience trained). But I love my Myotonic goats, and find them personality-wise much more similar to my dogs than any cat I've associated with in just shy of 60 years.

We have had both over the 22 years we had livestock, and found goats more enjoyable. Our Nubians required shelter and attention, while our Boers laid out in the snow happily at -40 F. with no problems. Our Boers ate grass happily and taught our Nubians to do so as well, although browse was available and the Nubians always preferred that. Since we live in a clod climate in Alaska the parasite problem was minimal, although we did sometimes develop lice problems when they were in the barn in winter. I never had to use electricity on the goats except to keep the bucks away from the does during "season", and people who had Kikus had to have incredibly high fences to keep them in. The big difference we found was that goats are very smart while sheep are stupid, stupid stupid. Overall, we enjoyed our goats much more than the sheep, although, opposite to your experience, we found the market for sheep to be stronger than that for goat meat.

I’ve eaten goat meat once or twice many years ago. I had lots of leg of lamb and truly enjoy it. I’ll have to try goat again before deciding which one I like more. In my situation, goats would really help open more pasture and silvopasture. But all I’ve heard is that they’re tough to keep in the fences. I’m a few days away from 67 and don’t relish the idea of chasing them down in the brambles and briers. Guess I’ll get sheep first, for meat and pasture improvements. Goats later to clear additional pasture and maybe provide more meat.

A small addition: if you're planning to do silvopasture; goats will absolutely kill young trees, or even old ones. Sheep (mostly ) won't, a fairly simple fence around young trees is fine (3 posts in a triangle + regular unelectrified fencing) and they will leave older trees alone. Though, sheep will eat leaves and fruits up to about 1.5m, so the canopy can't start any lower. Also, goats need to be very actively managed on the pasture. I f left for too long, they will eat the grass incl. roots and completely destroy the pasture. "There is nothing like a goat to make a desert"

An Aunt of mine, willed her 14 goats to me! They took over an abandoned tenant house and ate everything they could reach standing on their hind quarters. They liked to jump up on the engine compartment of my wife's auto and look at their reflections in the car windshield. In an embarrassing incident, I was transporting 4 goats to an auction when avoiding a tire that fell off a farm truck excited them to stampede. Now, in a Chevy Corvair there is some space and with with the passenger seat removed, there is an adequate stampede path. That is not to say a goat stampede in my right armpit was relaxing, but it does call into question the use of seatbelts to contain stampeding livestock on the highways of America!

It kind of depends on how good your fences are and how many head you are planing on getting. Goats are good for milk and meat and some have Kashmir But if you don't have good tall fences you are asking for trouble . Sheep are less of a pain and tend not to jump fences. They do have a strong heard mentality so if there is a hole in your fences they all will try to get out at the same time. Keep this in mind it a[[lies to doors as well as Gates. They don't often do single file. Sheep are good for meat and can be milked as well plus there is the wool. The biggest problem is if you only have a few sheep you may have to haul them to get them sheared and wool is not worth much. So that is also something to keep in mind. Both are fairly healthy until they are not. And things can go bad so fast. If you get a large heard of sheep get some kind of sheep dog. It's not a bad ideal to get a guardian animal as well. There are some very good dog breeds that work well and even a few non dogs that will work in a pinch. Donkeys work well. I've heard Llamas do as well but I don't have any experience with them. There is one more thing. Goats are smart. They are like little kids they have very little fear and is not watched can and will look for trouble. Don't be surprised to find them on roofs of buildings they shouldn't be able to get on top of. or on the hood of your car. Most sheep are pretty dumb they tend to panic easily. If you have non working barking dogs keep them away from your sheep. I've worked with both and I like sheep more but would rather have goats. But I will say this sheep have good memories I helped bottle feed some of my mom's sheep one year then was gone for 2 years. The bottle babies wear all grown up and as soon as they saw me they ran over to see if I had anything for them. Wow this got way to Long.

If they get out of the paddock they come wait for me on the back deck. They can be milked after lambing in the spring, plus get great quality wool & meat. I live in Maine & the sheep always want to be outside even in winter or heavy rain. They have free access to the barn but often find them outside except during the summer months they prefer the barn / shade of the woods during the heat of afternoons.

Knowledge is key, I want to learn and know, I’ve been leaning towards goats because more people say that they r easier to milk, I have never eaten goat meat , but have sheep, I like sheep meat, I like the fact that sheep’s do not get into mischief as goats do (or as much per u saying they got out, but awesome they came to ur porch) if u don’t milk them for ur own consumption, have u before? I don’t know if u have had goats or ever milked one, if so, could u give me a comparison between the two? Which is easier, taste different or same, would I need to shave around the utter??? Really interested and hope u respond! Thank u and have a wonderful day

@@joybickerstaff194 Hi, yes I find sheep so much easier to keep than goats. The Icelandic sheep are a more primitive breed of sheep that were originally used as triple proposed; wool, meat & milk. Some lines also serve as leader sheep. Icelandic sheep are different than most breeds of sheep in their diet hardiness, tend to be both browsers & grazers, plus their temperaments. This breed doesn't herd as well as other sheep breeds & not as flightly / timid. Some rams can be aggressive. Icelandic sheep are still raised the same way as ages ago. In early spring the sheep in all the farmers in Nordic countries are turned loose to free range along the countryside on their own. So the breed wasn't developed to be herd & watched over. You can read more info on the breed: afs.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep/icelandic//#content As for my experience with the Icelandic sheep: • I've only used my sheep for wool products & meat. The meat is absolutely delicious. The wool makes wonderful warm sweaters & blankets. • I haven't milked them yet. I'm training the ewes to the milk stand this winter for hopes of milking them in the spring after lambing. You can only milk the sheep for 3-4 months but you can freeze the milk for later use. I personally love their stronger temperaments. Any smaller threats to the herd are easily dealt with by the sheep on their own such as foxes & eagles. Larger threats of course you have to protect them from injury. Our previous ram protected the herd from free roaming dogs until I could get out to the pasture to help. Another more timid breed of sheep would've obtained injuries. As for the temperament in handling the breed. I find them very easy & trustworthy if handled by building trust & respect. They don't get flighty & scared running in all directions when working with them. I can walk over to them place a halter on them & tie them up to do any maintenance. No chasing or corralling required which I prefer. This breed doesn't require any grain. During the winter & pregnancy traditionally they were supplemented with kelp. Now you can supplement with minerals. They are very hardy animals that rarely get sick, over loaded with parasites, or hoof issues. They can do well with less than ideal pasture if you have plenty for them to browse on. The lambs don't require their tails to docked. If you use them to milk you don't need to shave / trim wool around the utters. If you're new to owning sheep I suggest you go out to various farms & meet the different breeds. I love Icelandic sheep but know their temperaments aren't for everyone.

Swiss Oberhasli was my best mellowest and quietest dairy goat. Excellent mother with plenty of milk. I also had a French Alpine that was fine, produced even more milk but rather aggressive to all the other ones. I would never recommend a Nubian because they are so noisy and disturb the whole neighborhood. Regardless of how much milk they produce, Nubians are not worth keeping due to their noisy nature.

I bought two baby goats and I feed them with feeders. They consume a lot of milk per day. And also can't stay alone. In the evening putting them in the box is a challenge because they'll explore every corner to try and escape. When they do they start making noise, a few times they managed to escape in the middle of the night and I had to go out and put them back in. As they're growing up they need more milk. They're 3 months the old now and I've already spent on the milk as much as it would have cost me to buy a mother goat. After 3rd month I'll stop their milk as they already do eat leaves and browse all day. Still at their feeding times they want milk and they'll start making noise if I don't give them. If you're buying baby goats to raise as pets. Please do yourself a favor and don't get baby goats. They're almost as hard to look after as a human baby, except you won't have to change the diaper. A few months ago I was reading lots of KZbin comments about people advising against baby goats as pets, but I decided to go ahead and try it anyways. It's a challenge. But at the same time gives me a sense of accomplishment. Currently I'm not employed and have lots of free time. Or this won't have worked out well.

Sorry but goats don't just have personality, they have PERSONALITY!!!! And if you are a first time goat owner without livestock experience they WILL make you cry! So if you are testing the homesteading life get sheep, chicken, rabbits, but not goats. And if you HAVE to have a goat get a mellow adult goat, do NOT get BABY GOATS (nothing worst that uncontained personality!). And remember goats are herd animals, so you have to get at least two, and that means TWICE the personality! For the record: I love my Nigerian Dwarf goats!

Part of the reason for problems with the Boer goats is the show ring. When first brought in, boer breeders put them in the show ring and then bred for shows. Try finding a boer breeders that breeds for meat production market and they are hardier. The kiko is hardier because the show aspect never caught on. The only show or test is parasite resistance testing. Kikos also seem to be a little hard to put weight on because they are more active. The more you feed the young ones, the more they run and play. The best option we have found for meat production is a boer kiko cross. The boer side grows bigger but keeps more of the hardy traits. With that being said. I have butchered straight boer alongside kiko. The kiko looked much lighter walk around. After skinning and taking off the external fat layer of the boer, the carcass is almost identical. The boer does have a heavier bone structure than kiko. The kiko also seems to be better mothers than the show ring boers. The kiko can give enough milk to make milking worthwhile (almost as much as full size dairies) I haven't heard of anyone milking boers. Bbgoats on Facebook if you are anywhere near wichita kansas.

Depends on the breed of sheep, I have Cameroon hair sheep and have best of both qualities on this list. Just a matter of research on breeds and talk to farmers who raise those breeds. But totally unbiased Cameroon are awesome 🥰

I am looking for a goat or sheep suitable for central Louisiana. Hair sheep is a thing around here, but I like myotonics too. I will not get them until I have secure fencing, because I don't want my animals being a problem for neighbors. I will have to look up the Cameroon HS, and i am also interested in Barbado sheep, I think they're called.

When I was way younger we had 3 sheep as I kid. I hated those sheep, as it didn't matter what kind of fence we used, those suckers were ALWAYS escaping. We finally told our dad, to either butcher them or sell them, as we were tired of putting them back in. My mom refused to eat them, thanks to something her dad did as a kid, so thankfully we didn't eat them. We had goat's, they never escaped. We did have this ridiculously mean buck that we had to tie up to a tree, one of us had to be his target while the other had to untie him & tie him back up, I got tired of being the target, so I told my dad to get rid of him. He thought we were just trying to get out of chores & that we had been teasing him, cause he appeared to be nice when he was walked down from the neighbor's. After the buck attacked my dad, he disappeared shortly thereafter. With my own herd of dairy goat's, usually they only escaped when a gate or door was left open. Big personalities. I do like bum lambs, they have personalities. Lol

I didn't find it funny at all! Quite nasty considering the discussion was on profitability. Are you considering human beings commodities to be bought and sold? Are you considering human "profitability?" Nasty and dangerous and you can shut your mouth as far as I'm concerned!

No idea how I got here but it seems sheep fit my property better but I prefer the personality of goats. Interesting. I live in and RV for now so I wont be buying either but maybe later in life.

So my brother once took a baby off the side of the road. He brings it home and tied it to a tree and then my dad decided that she needed to hatmore room and she was bonding with the dogs and after the lot of them ended up in neighbors yard and animal control came up to my yard and gave a warning to keep her and dogs in the yard. At this point it's obvious that my brother has kinda dumped her on us and i talk to ac on the way she got here and they said no one is looking for her and we have no place to take and if we can hang on to her to see if she was claimed. That was the first time I had been told our baby goat was a lamb . She just was a baby and had not filled out. The debate begins and it's a fight over who is correct. It was a good year before I realized that it was a hair sheep! She is a big fat round girl. She also sheds her entire coat after weather gets warmer. She looks so clean and neat right after

Our goats have never had a parasite problem or needed their feet trimmed. Our goats are as maintenance free as it gets. give them access to shelter and forget about them.

I heard the the two together aren't good do to the parasites transfer but the cycle is killed by having cows say. All if you don't feed grain you don't have to trim hoofs greg Judy talks about that . To me with the right beed goats would be tougher imop

You are correct, goats and sheep do get the same parasites (cattle and horses do not).
