  2. Raising goats for meat is more profitable right now than raising cattle, thanks to a certain immigrant factions taste for such meat. I suspect they would also be interested in the milk. Not too sure about the soap.

  3. Depends on the type of goats..some are raised as exotics and fetch a good deal of money. Dairy goats (e.g. Nubians )are great to handle and produce a lot of milk. Many children are allergic to cow’s milk yet can drink goat milk. Anyway, keep them bred and soon you’ll have 500 goats. Hire a farm hand and then retire. Good luck
