    Since I know we have a lot of goat herders here, this article should be of interest
    for your medium term financial planning.

    Pro tip: the article notes that the rule exemption for sheep herders
    continues, so choose your stock with care.

    Whatever you do, don't try to pull the wool over their eyes.

    By hook, those sheep herders are rumoured to watch their flocks by night
    only. Do owners farm out the daytime duties?
