Why keeping a single goat in your garden is a recipe for trouble
In short: Goats are social animals that thrive in pairs. This video explores how two goats, Gertie and Gilly, contribute to a productive garden and explains why you should never keep one goat alone.
Integrating goats into a garden requires understanding their social needs. Because goats are herd animals, they experience loneliness if kept in isolation. To maintain their well-being, it is essential to keep at least two goats together so they can provide companionship for one another.
In this feature, Gertie and her daughter Gilly demonstrate how goats can become an integral part of a productive gardening system. Their presence highlights the practical considerations for gardeners looking to incorporate livestock into their own horticultural spaces.
