What kind of goats did you have? I have a few friends with Nubians who have nothing but praise for them, and they’re a breed I contemplate keeping down the line.

Boers. Your standard meat goat. I have been around Nubians. They seem sane.
My boers, on the other hand, don't care much for this type of relationship with people. They'll swarm you for food, sure, but they seem much more interested in goats than in people. I don't think any of them particularly like me.

He has a strong dislike for goats as well.
> There is a good reason why sheep are associated with righteousness and goats with wickedness in the Bible.
I think this got mentioned as well.
Edit: also some of them are extreme when it comes to escaping, would jump cross a two meter high fence uphill.
