Those are breeders, not feeders.

LOL, thanks, he's a pretty awesome husband, and he has taught me a lot. And I get spoiled with all the good food. No complaints here!

Thanks, KuneKune pork is really good, we love it!!

Thank you for the comment, we try to do it the best and most humane way we can. Thanks for watching.

LOL!

You got this, lol! Wait until the weather is cold, and then you can take your time with it so the meat won't spoil. After you've done it a few times you will get the hang of it.

We just fill the pot with milk and then add vinegar slowly until you start to see separation (curds and whey) and then stop. Sometimes it takes a little more and other times less honestly. Freshly squeezed lemon juice (strain out seeds) is an alternative to vinegar and adds a nice fresh taste as well! Just prepare at least 4-5 lemons so you can add without having to stop and squeeze. We have never used just cream, we have always used milk, but I think you might get cream cheese that way..

The pain did last quite awhile, but I was walking within a few days, very slowly and with a walker. Let me post the link to the full video and a follow up I did, or you can also look at that playlist on our channel.

Yes, lol. Works perfect!

We don't have one, but definitely would like to build one some day!

You are so right, lol.

Thanks

Yep, some have different personalities for sure haha!!

Thank you, and very true! I wish we had all been taught more when we were younger, but it's not too late to learn thankfully!

I think so too, love those big, floppy ears. It's cute when they come running.

Thx for watching.

That's a great idea. We have a lot of goats, so singling out one isn't so easy for us. We sometimes put the one we intend to butcher in our fenced garden with a bowl of feed and then dispatch in there. We do feed all of our goats in individual bowls, and they run around eating out of all of them and headbutting each other out of the way, lol. So a food bowl is something they are used to and helps them to not be so stressed in that moment.

Awesome, I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks, luckily I have never cut myself, lol. Been processing livestock for years, guess you just get in a groove with it..but I will definitely be more careful. A sharp knife is always a challenge, lol! Thx for watching and commenting.

That’s awesome, good idea! Thx for watching.

9 can usually be found in the neck or shoulder area, jhp won't penetrate as deep. A 22magnum is definitely ideal. TH-cam keeps blocking my response, tried multiple times with different wording.

LOL! Yeah it tastes pretty mild, we love it!

This video is a month old, but she actually is our breeding stock and she just had her piglets a week or so ago. :-)

@@zionsgateranch arh cool

Thank you for the encouragement, it helps! Thanks for watching!

LOL, or raise domesticated rabbits, then you don't have to catch them.

@@zionsgateranch you'd make sausages out of pet rabbits?

I thought I responded earlier, lol. Yes, we raise meat rabbits. They are much bigger than a wild rabbit.

Having the right temp and then scraping quickly with the bell scraper. We also used a torch to burn off remaining hairs.

Yep, it's very interesting how that works with evaporative cooling and mud lol!

Really no rule of thumb, but if you have kids in the Spring, you butcher during Winter in the cold weather, so about 8-9 months old at times. If you let them get older, you can get more meat, but if you have a herd you need to thin back down before the next kidding season.

Yeah no problem, thank you, I appreciate it! Thanks for watching! We just made a video on goat sausages, it's uploading today and will be posted tonight hopefully. We have another goat butchering video coming soon too - stay tuned!

Very good question, maybe 30 lbs. We didn't weigh this one though. It was actually quite a bit more than we thought it would be.

Thank you 😋

He was very small, not really what we prefer to breed, we like more of a mid height range.

Howdy, it's funny how shorts and algorithms work, lol. Thanks for watching, nice to meet you.

It's a bit of a pain to scald and scrape, but that skin is so good!

Yep, wouldn't be without ours either, that's for sure!!

Were you able to see my reply? It shows 1 reply on my end, but when I click on it to view it's not there. I think my responses are sometimes getting deleted, maybe due to key words I'm mentioning about the processing..

@@zionsgateranch No, I didn't see a reply.

Here's the other video link I mentioned sending you: th-cam.com/video/mOh8GCwptFw/w-d-xo.html

@@zionsgateranch I did see this video already. It is great as well. I will have to watch it again as a reminder.

Thank you, always feel free to message with any questions and we would be glad to help in any way we can!

Thank you, it was sooo good!

lol!
