I was just wondering how you all would feel about this one.
You open your gift and the card inside says that a goat and a cow were given to a village in africa in your name.
i would be pleased...instead of getting stuff you dont need...you are helping out a family....
with a goat or a cow they can set up a business.....milk, cheese, young kids or calves to sell...
its a good thing

Not with one goat and one chicken. You'll get eggs from most breeds of chicken (if you have a hen) at about 20 weeks, depending on breed. You can have eggs but if you have no rooster, you have no new chickens. If you only have a rooster, he'll be tasty starting at about 8-10 weeks.
Goat won't produce milk until she's had her first kid most have to "freshen" every year in order to keep producing milk. Again, you need a buck for that. So, minimum two goats needed to feed the family or set up a business. I understand that the outfits that sell these packages also provide training about animal nutrition and care and that would help.
I made goat cheese stuffed red peppers yesterday for the family.
Love goat cheese!
What a great gift for someone to give to someone else in your name! I also love Skulls Elephant Fostering Program site, I'm going to check that out too.
Most of us can BUY what we need, how cool that someone thought of others that CAN'T buy things.

hello......the charities that do this are well aware of these facts.....fact.....only one person in the village needs a buck....a buck has to be replaced on a yearly bases....so you breed all the goats with one buck then you have to introduce a new buck the next year.....
and yes you must have a rooster to have fertile eggs..last time i checked the chickens were not done by the hen but you send a batch of chickens ...
you do not need two goats....you need a nanny goat .....for milk and cheese...
as i stated above all you need is one billy ...and yes they have animal training programs....we normally donate bees....

Well here's a recovered memory: One year for our 'big' fall festival raffle someone donated a goat on the hoof. Of course we ALL bought tickets on the thing. When they held the drawing, it was the principal's daughter who won the thing. To this day, I believe that was rigged to keep some parent from going ballistic. Principal prolly had the thing slaughtered and barbequed. My FIL used to buy a goat on the hoof and have it slaughtered and barbequed at least once a summer. That's some pretty good eating.
