Lessons Learned from the Goats

Although far from being an expert, my limited time as an unsuccessful, inconsistent but zealous goat farmer has given me a new perspective on priorities. Theirs is a simple existence without the complexity of making choices and having to analyze every situation. At times their lack of intellect and creativity seems almost enviable, but in the end, they are just goats. Still, maybe there is an element of charm to their simplicity! Some of these are lessons the goats still need to learn as well.


10. Every now and then, go run and play.
9. Eat the right things and avoid the indigestible.
8. Rest at night.
7. There is safety and comfort among friends.
6. When you get butted, which happens often, don't give up.
5. Protect your children, they are worth it.
4. Stay clean and keep the germs away.
3. Express your happiness at the simple joys of life.
2. Seek cover when it rains.
1. Don't stick your head in a fence, it is hard to get out without help!
