(Billy goat = male goat). You could milk the females and make feta cheese for extra money. Alternatively, you could use cashmere or angora goats and sell the wool. It would be a gold mine!!!

Loud noises scare them. You'd be lucky to get one square foot of lawn finished each day. So, no. No, fainty goats in North Minneapolis. Fainty goats in North Minneapolis would be the worst idea ever.

After a nice wet spring and mild June, the corn really shoots up high in July when the sun is hot and there's not too much rain. That's about all I know about farming...that and hog farms stink...
