Yes there are really a lot of meat goats here in the TX hill country,one ole man claims he makes more money on his goats than he does his cows,I have always believed if that was true,it was because he was too lazy to work cattle,goats are less work,and being close to the Mexican border creates a fair demand for goat meat,you better have good fences tho,aint a better way to create hard feelings with neighbors than to have a flock of goats in their pastures.I know I have ran more than a few outa my hay fields,like ole elmo said build you a good tight goat fence,then throw a bucket of water on it,if water gets through it so will goats...........good luck
