We tried the cone first. I'm serious, the bone chopper is like magic, I would never go back. It's like a cartoon, it's so clean.

Think I'm ready to give up on at least mini goats. even on a raised pallet tied to a posy. Too much thrashing to get so little milk in 15-30 minutes off one goat. Not sure if my fence and land would keep full size in well since these tiny Bayard cause enough damage.

How much milk did you get from the miniature? I doubt a larger goat will really be much harder to deal with than the minis. My girlfriend was milking a La Mancha for a while and she was really not much trouble from what I could see.

Well after 15 minutes I only had like a cup. So it's the difficulty fighting. Wife got me to but this hand pump Miller meant for cows or goats. doesn't seem to work on minis, get it auctioned on but not really draining.
I think a full milk might get me 2-3 cups a goat, just never fought one long enough. But we just got a2bd kid and maybe this momma will work with me better.
The first baby won't get off of us, hoping she's an easy Miller since day.

I mean they certainly as adults invoke an out of control rage and id gladly strangulate them.
When food is around they get pushy to an extreme even if you kick them or an emu biting them. often leading to spilled feed when I try to fill their feeder. Love to ram thru light fence and tin walls

You can do big goats, get woven wire and drop real posts with your t-posts. Also for feeding i'd just throw flakes of mixed hay in their pen or in a hay rack from outside their enclosure. Only time I direct feed the fuckers is when it's raining for multiple days and I have to get it into their shelters cause they're too prissy to go pasture feed in the rain.

This, all day.
I lived part of my childhood on a goat farm. There is a reason goats are associated with Satan.
Get anything but goats. Literally anything.

I have 10ish goats (no bucks fuck that) and it's ez pz with a good fence around their pasture. Not needy at all and don't make much noise (they are a couple acres from the house though). Daughter loves going in and hanging out with them.
All hate goats get is because people try to deal with bucks and breeding. If you want that you should rent/borrow a buck to throw in with the ladies for a couple weeks then get it the hell off your property. It's like that for most livestock though, horny bulls will push through fences to get to a fuck and rams will strait try to murder you.

Well, I mean, probably better for the cooking thread. But there's tons of recipes for utilizing pork shoulder. My favorite is pulled pork. Serve it up straight with some bbq sauce on a bun. Put it in your baked beans. Use some of the fat you're undoubtedly going to have left over and make some carnitas.
Even if you have too much after cooking, it freezes up quite well.

As Deathwing said, pulled pork is super easy to make out of shoulder roasts.
I usually add some paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin to the following recipe. You can also use Ginger Ale or Dr. Pepper (never tried Dr. Pepper, but Ginger Ale worked just as well). You can freeze it before the BBQ goes on, and/or you can use it plain, then just add BBQ directly to the sandwich, if people like different sauces. I use a bottle of Stub's Original as the base, then Stub's Smokey Mesquite on the sandwich.
