Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Aliza" <realfood@wonderfulfarm.com>]

for meat goats go with Kiko.  They were selected for parasite resistance and 
general hardiness as well as fast growing kids on forage only.  There is a 
kiko goat list on yahoo.

Though these do require shearing if it were me in your area I would go with 
the gulf coast sheep.  They were left alone on the gulf coast and have self 
selected for hardiness, parasite resistance etc.
