My first experience with the cycle of life/death was my hamster. Came home from school one day and he was gone. Wrapped up in a paper towel, inside a little box. Had a burial. I took it well for a 6 year old. Planted him in the garden and grew the best radishes that year.
Everything you said is so true.I make more money off my goat kids, than my lambs.I try and keep all my little girls and sell the little boys.I don't allow any children around the big billy goats.I use the goat milk for any bum lambs too...saves cost in lamb milk replacer and healthier for the lambs too.Goats are so fun to be around!
Love how natural these videos are. Kid interrupts or the dog interrupts, then you just keep on filming. Other people would do take after take until they got it perfect.
I just convinced my mom to buy goats for meat niether of us have tried it but with the economy how it is shes finally willing to try and ive always been willing hahah. Can you give me like a comparison to some other critter what it might taste like? Close to venison?
@@QueenSucho there is a slight taste difference from anything I've had, but I'd say the biggest difference would be in the texture. My advice would be to pressure cook for a long time, especially if feeding to children or older people.
Wonderful video. You make a great point about the future and potential of marketing goat meat. The problem is that most people doesn't know how cook it and take away its deer like flavor. But offering it in small farmers markets and giving recipes could be a good start. Milk is another potential of profitability. I love your video, it really inspire me to start my own little farm. 15 years ago, with many sacrifices I bought my house in a brand new neighborhood, now is turned to be a place for drugs and cars being robbed. It is sad but now I prefer to live in a place surrounded by animals than unscrupulous people. May God bless your beautiful children It is delightful to see how they enjoy their very happy life.
In my family we eat goat When have goat we usually have when we a big family outing usually roasting. Out side with sweet potato and summer squash. and many salad fixing! And apple pie yummy I love goats!
I love your videos....and I agree about them being just cute and funny.....your channel is my go to when I need something to make me smile and giggle.......
I just inadvertently went 3 extra days before doing my “Limbs” workout (squats, hams, arms)… on every lift I did more weight for more reps than last time. I felt so strong, and even though getting huge PRs I actually felt like I still had more in me on some of the lifts(like hack squats @ 20 pounds heavier and 3 reps MORE than last week). It was in this moment that any doubt I had in the validity of what Mike Mentzer preached just vanished. I was already shooting for 2-3 days between sessions but the huge difference between that and 5-6 days as per this last session was almost miraculous
Cows are my favorite animal for a small or large homestead. They can produce much more than goats, and the cream line on a jersey's milk is awesome. They can pay for themselves and give you a lot more products. Even making money from a well bred calf can bring in thousands of dollars. Also, am I the only one who started singing the Circle of Life at number two? Lol.
Being Hispanic, I can certainly vouch that goats are delicious, if prepared properly. Some have a "gamy" taste and odor, thus preparation,-- marinating in lime/lemon juice, salt and hot sauce overnight,-- is a must prior to cooking. Curried goat over rice is heavenly. Try it, you'll love it.!!
I completely agree about goats we tried hair sheep not kid friendly at all. The Kiko goats are the best breed to cross with as far as im concerned.Plus they just give you hours of enjoyment watching them as they play. Goats are the best
Yep goats are the most humorous! I also see the benefit of the number of kids they give...though piggies might have ya beat there! Smiles and blessings...
#6 they protect too! I think...I was grandgoat sitting yesterday and you could hear the foxes out there and her mama goat was righ t next to me on guard..not sure if thats true but she seemed to be on watch protect mode.
Daniel you may want to watch the Garden Answer channel, video titled September garden tour dated 9-30-17. You'll see why I think it would be a great idea for them to have goats. Towards the end of the video she talks about making an area a pasture and getting animals. It would be perfect for goats and she just had a little boy. Now think about how much Huston loves those goats. Perfect fit!!!!!!!! I'm hoping to see some rehomed goats there one day. 😉
Nephew Dutch said I should check out the goat man, haha, we had our 25 nannies at work kid all with-in a 10 day period, kicked my butt, thank god I had students to help, our ewes are spacing it out, i had to pull two lambs so far, not one issue with the goats. I want to start doing more of the homesteading type videos, trying to build my channels, getting closer to my 1000 subs, keep those vids coming, GO GOATS!!!
I have to say the reason I got my goats was because of funny TH-cam Goat videos!! Plus I love the free supplies of milk as I don't pay for feed... PS nice video bro good times
Never had it, but it is DEFINITELY available in stores... there is a chain I do my shopping at, and the location by my brother has a sign that says goat is available, just ask the butcher
How you be in lifestyle like do you go to work unknow time, can you have kids, give married, and go church on Wednesday & Sunday or be full time vet and all that or you have to put all your time in this career for becoming Bio/Vet degree with a focus in large animal studies?
Love your video and your Anatolian shepherd. I'm considering getting some goats because we have a lot of brush to eat and my Anatolian shepherd is lonely. Thank you for your awesome videos.
I know this is an older video.. but I am finding so many different opinions on goats to raise for meat in western Washington. I really trust your knowledge and would like your opinion.. it's just me and my wife. I will provide some meat to my niece and nephew and there kids.. and my son .. I raise chickens and Turkeys now.. so what do you suggest?
Daniel you and your family are such an inspiration! My wife I with our 3 children live in the Ozarks in Ark. We have been thinking about selling the pines on our 40acres and fencing for goats. Do you have an opinion on the most profitable breed? How bout Boers?
Boers can be profitable but they will be more difficult to care for. If you want the most profit I would go with a registered line of goats. You will be able to sell the kids for much more if you have a good blood line going.
Hi Do you think the horn would be a concern whatsoever? I have watched other channels who are raising goats, some of them have the horns removed when the kids are young, but others don't. Thank you
Dehorning is just a matter of preference. Most dairy goat farms dehorn so that the goats are easier to get in a milk stand. It doesn't make as much difference to me with a meat goat herd.
You had any fencing issues? That seems to be everyone’s hang up with goats. We got two this past fall for many of the reasons you just laid out. They are in our chicken paddocks currently which have 8’ fences. I would like to get a few more in the spring and rotate them through our 2 acre pasture but have to figure out fencing!!!
Arms Family Homestead I agree! But it gets expensive fast, especially if you are trialing goats. I figure that’s why a lot of people pass on goats, they scrimp on fence when they first get them, they get out, and folks say heck with this!
LOL... In this Battle of the Best, did you warn Dutch you'd be pulling out both Houston and baby goats as force multipliers ??? Cause that's some powerful hedging of your bets... ahahahaha Thanks for sharing !
All that was missing was missing was Sally Struthers, a box of doughnuts, and an 800 number to help provide clean drinking water to the children of a 3rd world country by voting for goats..... :::wink:::
If able I would have cows for milk, fertilizer, and some tender cuts of meat, I love to watch baby goats play, I would love to have horses for riding, but my favorite for meat is pork, chickens for eggs, and lastly rabbits for fertilizer. I need a farm!!!
I love that your dog is eating the goat feed too. 😂😂😂
I saw that too as the camera panned. Goat, goat, goat, dog, lol
My first experience with the cycle of life/death was my hamster. Came home from school one day and he was gone. Wrapped up in a paper towel, inside a little box. Had a burial. I took it well for a 6 year old. Planted him in the garden and grew the best radishes that year.
Heyyy, you can’t do me like that🤣🤣i was tracking you man

I had 44 goats at one time when I was younger. They are awesome, I especially miss my baby goats.
I agree
Two thumbs up
But u forgot the milk and it's products
That's because he's not milking his goats. He's raising them for meat.
Cheese is where my taste buds go nuts, 🧀 and more cheese 🧀
Love how natural these videos are. Kid interrupts or the dog interrupts, then you just keep on filming. Other people would do take after take until they got it perfect.
I fully agree! I can't wait to get my first goats! Goats and ducks I'm most excited about getting for my future homestead.
Just an observation; when you kneel down, in body language you're inviting your pup into your personal space. Be Blessed😊😊😊
I'm hispanic and yes, I love goat meat. Really wish it was sold nearby, can't understand why people in the US won't eat them.
I agree. Maybe someday it will become more widely accepted and sold in grocery stores.
I agree goat meat is awesome.
It is because of cows the cuts of meat are bigger. And the stigma of goats being low class meat is the biggest problem...
I just convinced my mom to buy goats for meat niether of us have tried it but with the economy how it is shes finally willing to try and ive always been willing hahah. Can you give me like a comparison to some other critter what it might taste like? Close to venison?
@@QueenSucho there is a slight taste difference from anything I've had, but I'd say the biggest difference would be in the texture. My advice would be to pressure cook for a long time, especially if feeding to children or older people.
LOLOLOL....You got that right!! They are super fun.....we just love them!! Nothing like’em- Jason

You are blowing the others away Goats Rock is the message they are getting. love it !
Thanks.
In my family we eat goat When have goat we usually have when we a big family outing usually roasting. Out side with sweet potato and summer squash. and many salad fixing! And apple pie yummy I love goats!
Yeah cabrito!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video
I love your videos....and I agree about them being just cute and funny.....your channel is my go to when I need something to make me smile and giggle.......
What a group for a collab!!! Nobody can compete with a thorn and poison ivy eater I think you won this one!
Thanks!
Oh snap... now I need to film a funny cow video... this is my New Years resolution now 😂
LOL, good luck with that! Cows will never be as funny as goats!
I am sorry, but Arms Family Homestead, cows can be funnier than goats.
I ABSOLUTELY agree! Goats are the BEST! I raise a herd of dairy goats. And I enjoy the new additions every year. I enjoyed your video. Thank you. :)
How much space do they need, let’s say I wanted 15 goats, how big of a pen would they need?
I fall in love from the first Sec , I don’t normally like kids , but your kid got me
I even forgot about the goats lol
I just inadvertently went 3 extra days before doing my “Limbs” workout (squats, hams, arms)… on every lift I did more weight for more reps than last time.

Priceless information.. I am now convinced to have goats in my future farmstead. I ll have them for milk though. thank you.
Hi.... thank you 🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Cows are my favorite animal for a small or large homestead. They can produce much more than goats, and the cream line on a jersey's milk is awesome. They can pay for themselves and give you a lot more products. Even making money from a well bred calf can bring in thousands of dollars.

And number 1.......the comedy! Our lambs are an absolute hoot to watch!
Being Hispanic, I can certainly vouch that goats are delicious, if prepared properly. Some have a "gamy" taste and odor, thus preparation,-- marinating in lime/lemon juice, salt and hot sauce overnight,-- is a must prior to cooking. Curried goat over rice is heavenly. Try it, you'll love it.!!
Love watching Tip jumping on the trampoline!!! Great video and Amen to kids learning the circle of life early and not just keeping them from it.
Amen!
I completely agree about goats we tried hair sheep not kid friendly at all. The Kiko goats are the best breed to cross with as far as im concerned.Plus they just give you hours of enjoyment watching them as they play. Goats are the best
The smell of a Billy Goat, 20 years ago, makes me dry-heave at just the thought of breeding goats. If not for the smell, I'd have them in a heartbeat.
That dog loved the camera lol! That whole environment seemed really nice in all.
The animals are making their
appearances, & saying, "Hi!".
because they are great moving decorations on the roof of your house, they also keep the snow off the roof
Yep goats are the most humorous! I also see the benefit of the number of kids they give...though piggies might have ya beat there! Smiles and blessings...
Oh my, think you just made the price of goats go up again. Great job you two.
Why is Bear eating..and LIKING....Grain!! LOL!! Nice video!
Did bear just eat the goats food in the trough??
Thanks for sharing your five reasons why you love goats..... I to think they're useful and funny. :)
Just came across this video while trying to decide whether to add goats to our homestead. You convinced us! haha thanks for the information!
Great video and I just love Bear! He is adorable 🥰
#6 they protect too! I think...I was grandgoat sitting yesterday and you could hear the foxes out there and her mama goat was righ t next to me on guard..not sure if thats true but she seemed to be on watch protect mode.
Totally agree
If I was to have goats you would be the go to guy. I've watched them all and could do it with just you're videos.
Daniel you may want to watch the Garden Answer channel, video titled September garden tour dated 9-30-17. You'll see why I think it would be a great idea for them to have goats. Towards the end of the video she talks about making an area a pasture and getting animals. It would be perfect for goats and she just had a little boy.

It is nice to know how baby goats are created by mommy and daddy goats.
Nephew Dutch said I should check out the goat man, haha, we had our 25 nannies at work kid all with-in a 10 day period, kicked my butt, thank god I had students to help, our ewes are spacing it out, i had to pull two lambs so far, not one issue with the goats. I want to start doing more of the homesteading type videos, trying to build my channels, getting closer to my 1000 subs, keep those vids coming, GO GOATS!!!
Rico's Place HAIR SHEEP
I have to say the reason I got my goats was because of funny TH-cam Goat videos!! Plus I love the free supplies of milk as I don't pay for feed...
PS nice video bro good times
it's a delicacy here. I agree on the points
Never had it, but it is DEFINITELY available in stores... there is a chain I do my shopping at, and the location by my brother has a sign that says goat is available, just ask the butcher
It's strange but I found your goats to be the most interesting and funny animal of the four videos. Cheers
LOL you were getting seriously photo bombed Daniel !!!! So fun , love this collab topic !!!
Just came over and subscribed from Keeping it Dutch. Great videos,will have to catch up
Agree! Love my goats the best too
What bread of meatgoat do you have? They seem really friendly. Thanks for sharing.
I have Kiko and Kiko/Boer cross
Homesteady has the best video, but Arms Family Homestead has the best farm animal, the GOAT.
Cool video and helpful. I live in a big city on the west coast... I could only imagine living on a farm
How you be in lifestyle like do you go to work unknow time, can you have kids, give married, and go church on Wednesday & Sunday or be full time vet and all that or you have to put all your time in this career for becoming Bio/Vet degree with a focus in large animal studies?
Nice videos please make videos about Nigerian dwarfs. Your kids are gorgeous many blessings for you all
Love your video and your Anatolian shepherd. I'm considering getting some goats because we have a lot of brush to eat and my Anatolian shepherd is lonely. Thank you for your awesome videos.
I have an Anatolian/Pyrenees mix and am considering getting goats to keep brush down and keep my dog company. Small world
Great video, we have 10acres with mostly brush and woods and we plan to get some goats sometime soon ! Thanks!
Are they hard to keep in a fence?
I know this is an older video.. but I am finding so many different opinions on goats to raise for meat in western Washington. I really trust your knowledge and would like your opinion.. it's just me and my wife. I will provide some meat to my niece and nephew and there kids.. and my son ..

The gray baby goat with white top on the tail is awesome 😍
Houston skip needs some attention 😂
Daniel you and your family are such an inspiration! My wife I with our 3 children live in the Ozarks in Ark. We have been thinking about selling the pines on our 40acres and fencing for goats. Do you have an opinion on the most profitable breed? How bout Boers?

thank you for sharing...i am with Austin.i like the cows....
Morning Daniel and Houston,love all my animals. Truly cant pick a favorite .
I may just have to invest in some goats. Your homestead has progressed nicely.
what kind of goats are that
That was a great video. Loved your son and Bear. Too cute. Hugs❤️
Love my goats. I have meat and dairy
Goats are the best. they are playful animals. And the meat is really unique...
Hi
Do you think the horn would be a concern whatsoever? I have watched other channels who are raising goats, some of them have the horns removed when the kids are young, but others don't.

Dehorning is just a matter of preference. Most dairy goat farms dehorn so that the goats are easier to get in a milk stand. It doesn't make as much difference to me with a meat goat herd.
You had many funny interruptions with your video very funny
Do you drink their milk?
I love that dog 🐕
👍
Haha! Bear really loves that camera.
I watched a lot fun piglet videos, even chicken videos
You had any fencing issues? That seems to be everyone’s hang up with goats.
We got two this past fall for many of the reasons you just laid out. They are in our chicken paddocks currently which have 8’ fences. I would like to get a few more in the spring and rotate them through our 2 acre pasture but have to figure out fencing!!!
Well as the old saying goes if it won't hold water it won't hold a goat. The best fencing you can use for goats is a woven wire fence.
Arms Family Homestead I agree! But it gets expensive fast, especially if you are trialing goats. I figure that’s why a lot of people pass on goats, they scrimp on fence when they first get them, they get out, and folks say heck with this!
What kind of goats are these?
Bear and Houston are so cute
I’m in NJ and you can get goat and rabbit at Asian markets.
I run an illegal goat fighting ring behind an abandoned blockbuster
Gotta love the helper puppies
Hello, do you know if goats likes to eat cocoa leaf ?
I have no clue. Sorry.
Are those Kikos? Are they OK in a wooded area?
Yes I have mostly Kikos and they do amazing in the wooded area.
Arms Family Homestead Thank you,sir. Love the videos.
*Need goats because they're awesome and they make life better.*
sweetirisfarm no you need sheep......
Keeping It Dutch If I get sheep then I'll have less room for GOATS!! ... Need more goats!!! MORE!
Just curious what do you do for predator control im wanting to get some goats but the coyotes are pretty bad i dont know if one dog could keep up
We have Bear who stays with them all the time and Cali (Great Pyrenees) who mostly stays up around the house but she patrols at night.
+Jimmy Harris.....A 22-250 or .223 with a decent scope for coyote control. They make great throw rugs.
Dylan and my wife are going to the
LOL... In this Battle of the Best, did you warn Dutch you'd be pulling out both Houston and baby goats as force multipliers ??? Cause that's some powerful hedging of your bets... ahahahaha Thanks for sharing !
I'm willing to do whatever is necessary!
lol

Hahahaha
I live in Portugal, and the meet goat are one of my favorite :)
Sorry my English
New subscriber
Miguel Silva from Portugal
Nice English don't apologise
This is hilarious to watch in 2024. So young!
I've never owned goats (want to) but I drove all over a city to find a stuffed goat for my daughter
When you say they’re profitable do you mean you sell the whole live goats, butcher and wrap and then sell, or sell milk?
Hogs were my favorite.
I think your videos and channel is great thanks for sharing.
OMG! Everyone and their grandma' wants to be in the video!!! So funny! :D
Beautiful goats. So cool to watch Houston bottle feed Skip.
How much is a goat?
Love it your animals and kids sure love you lol always want to give kisses love it. ❤️ HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY . ❤️ 💖💖💞💞
If able I would have cows for milk, fertilizer, and some tender cuts of meat, I love to watch baby goats play, I would love to have horses for riding, but my favorite for meat is pork, chickens for eggs, and lastly rabbits for fertilizer. I need a farm!!!
Thank you, goats are very entertaining :)
Love the video. Thanks for sharing. What type of fencing do you use for the goats?
