Hi @papa-pepper I love goats too. In the mountains in Norway there were two large herds that we would meet on our walks They are fun, but especially for a kid can be quite impressive and overpowering if they all come in to you The goats ate all the young shoots and shaped the landscape Due to politics they no longer keep goats in those parts and we no longer have the same views We really miss the goats!
I've seem some photos of large herds, but I can't imagine what it would be like in person.
40-50 animals I least I reckon, they are playful and insistent, I remember being chased by a whole flock, they probably just wanted to have fun:) They are really part of an old scenery of mountain farming in Norway: we used to love to go and help out with the milking, feeding the little ones etc. Dream life for a kid.
