What do you do for a living that involves strategizing around a 'fleet' of goats? Do you lease them out to a client or are you some kind of environmental planner?

I've made jokes about getting a goat so I don't have to mow the lawn anymore, but you've clearly taken it to the next level.

My partner and I run a small diversified farm. The goats are part of a small dairy for our personal consumption (dang restrictive raw dairy laws) as well as contributing to our production of goats' milk soap. Plus they make great fertilizer, which is really important for our field didn't have great nutrient content when we started.

I usually don't look at profiles on HN, but seems when I do it's worth it. Visited your website and I'm impressed and really love what you are doing there. I truly believe if more people would go back (or in my view, forward) to such lifestyle or similar the world would be a better place in general. Me and my wife have been tinkering with ideas like this for a couple of years now but really didn't have the time to start (still rebuilding the house which came with the land). Seeing things like this definitely works as extra motivation.
