One of the most important parts of being a goat owner is observing the goats to make sure that they’re healthy. You can do it when you’re feeding, or just go out and watch them. The bonus is that hanging out with goats is relaxing! I’m lucky to work from home and be able to incorporate “goat breaks” into my routine.
