Old Goat Acres

Old Goat Acres Our little homestead in the country. Old Goat describes me more than our ruminants. This is our little 5 acre hobby homestead in the country.

We raise small livestock mostly as pets, usually have a garden - maintain a few fruit trees. Nothing commercial, this is not a real farm. Our objective is to have a pastoral place to retire to and enjoy the bounty God has blessed us with.

An underground dog den is being considered for a portion of the woodshed area so that Bob and Daisy can find a naturally cool resting area during long, hot Arkansas summer afternoons.
