- If you have brush or poison ivy that needs to be removed without chemicals, watch this video. For more info on Alex and Bobbis goat grazing business go to www.zigagrazing.com
So awesome to see you making these videos Greg! I’ve been a huge fan of your work since 2011.
What a crossover 😂 🤙
God bless you guys and the work you're doing.
In North Carolina they're using Goats to reclaim land from Kudzu it's amazing what they can do.
The benefit of the fertilizer from the gotas is priceless they process all the nutrients in the foliage
I love it they’re doing my dream ... Would definitely like to see more time lapse videos
I wish there was more of this type of clearance available everywhere. Now follow with hogs and clearing would be almost complete.
Nancy Caffee - amazing isn’t it. Greg is so educational.
Is it difficult to fence in pigs?
Would you mix the hogs and goats at the same time?
Thinking of taking this system to Spain!
oh man this is what my land looks like.. I NEED GOATS!
Greg I love listening to you. Could you maybe touch on the mineral feeder a little more unless I've somehow missed it or you teach it in your grazing school. Like what kind of minerals do you use for cattle and sheep and what mineral they put the cayenne pepper and cinnamon in for the goats? Thanks for all the videos and the extra work you do just to give us all the videos. Hope you understand how much we all appreciate everything you do and the knowledge you share.
Greg's cattle and sheep are getting cafeteria style minerals from Free Choice Enterprises plus salt. We are giving the goats the Hi Copper Breeding Mineral w/spice pack from Wick's Livestock Nutrition plus salt. Thanks for the question.
@@bobbisandwisch1275 Thanks for the reply! Look forward to seeing more of you guys too.
I hope your business is going strong!!
Great vid as always! What do the goats eat during periods of no contracts?
This is just like the Greg Judy method of leasing land, but instead, you are the ones getting paid! I want to do this as my entry into animal agriculture to gain knowledge and experience with livestock before attempting with cattle. I have so many questions! Great video Greg Judy!
@Steve Slade I worked on a lot of farms when I was younger but I seriously lack confidence to start with cows.
Awesomeness!!
Quick questions for Alex and Bobbi,
As with cow manure, does fly larvae hatch in three days with goat manure?
Also, what about following the goats with pigs as a step two?
Glad to see the parents let the kid in on this.
Wow awesome stuff! This is new way of doing a business in this country i love this way ........
Great video Fabulous endeavour, keep it up
Another great video, I don't understand why you don't have more views or subscribers. I'd like to do something like this where I live.
I just started my channel in earnest in January of this year. I just want to share with folks what we are doing that works on our farm. Every farm is different and the things that I do may need to be modified in a different environment. I am giving folks ideas of things that might make their farm more profitable. The personal emails of thanks that I get from my youtube viewers is much appreciated! I want more people to come back to the land to help heal it with good grazing management.
This is amazing. How many goats does it take to graze ten acres? Is it two weeks or one month? Do you come back every few days to check into them?
I believe they were checking on them twice per day.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Would you use goats to start on your silvopastures
love your vids Greg
Love the video is there anyway to talk to Alex and Bobbi about grazing goats in Ohio possibly lot of multi flora rose up here.
We would really like to get some good info and they seem to have a great program.
Thanks
Maybe you could do a follow up on this area.
Greg, I have a question. What will the quality of the goat meat be with this kind of footage diet? Thank you for everything you do. Paul E Dulin.
This is what goats eat naturally, woody browse. Rewatch from 13:50 to 15:20. Hard to believe but they don't eat but a wee bit of grass.
@@patriciakavanaugh5300 Thank you
Patricia is right, these goats are getting an ideal diet. We expect the meat to be phenomenal.
In Spain they have started using goats and sheep for fire prevention, it is starting to taking of..
Pretty awesome! I didn't think that netting would ever keep goats in? I guess I was wrong!
Good info!
I would also stick with the poultry fencing. Less likely to get head stuck in it compared to the sheep/goat fencing.
Joel Davenport
If the fence is working correctly, eight thousand volts and up there are no goats even near the fence. Poultry netting is hard to keep from sagging and when it is sagging it loosest lots of power. Electro stop pos only would be correct fencing for goats.
I have seen a lot of people suggest the poultry netting due to the strangulation risk.
I had an experience when i first started using the netting that had a goat strangle and die.
I now test the fence every day and make sure it is at 8000 volts. I wasn’t doing daily checks on voltage when the goat died, but I think it could have played a role. I also only had them encircled inside one fence and now I try to give them a lot bigger space. Never know what might spook them at night time If you don’t have appropriate shelter or some sort of LGD.
Also learning all the little things that can short the fence is huge. I found out some of the fencing can slip and the bottom wire will short out on the bottom post. I have started just cutting my bottom line so this doesn’t happen.
I have sagging in my goat fence just as much as the poultry netting. I add extra fence posts in sagging area
I prefer the poultry netting because it's more versatile for me. I use it with my goats, geese & chickens. Just as easy for a goat to get tangled up in the poultry netting if it isn't good and "hot" tho. I've had it happen. Thankfully I was able to get to the goat in time. If I don't hear the snap then I test the netting. Once they are property trained they rarely go near it. Imo the best fence is food tho. Keep the goats in a place where there is plenty of what they WANT to eat and they won't even look elsewhere In my experience.
_Birria de chivo,_ delicious! Goat dishes are available at a lot of Mexican restaurants and more likely to be grass-fed than the beef they serve.
Here's the link to ZIGAGrazing: www.zigagrazing.com/
put a link to ZIGA in the description 🙂
It be awesome if they came here to California to manage the brush especially here in southern California I think it be extreamly beneficial for everyone here little to no fires over here its a thought
could you give some more details on the charger setup dealing with the solar charger wiring and controller regulator setup? maybe a video or schematic on how it works, very nice especially for remote farms
Thanks Kevin, I will do a video over on the new Ziga Grazing channel, where I'll go through and explain the charger in some more detail. look for it in the next couple days.
Great idea and even better implementation.
wow she's really on top of the biz. Good job woman!
Miss O.P.
You mean good job family. Goats are a 24/7 lifestyle for the whole family.
Ziga grazing you got a subsription from me.
How much do you charge for this and how long do they stay.
Goats love Cedar.. Ask me how I know. Good thing I have decent neighbors. Goats are little escape artists. Ooooooppppsss
Greg you mentioned in one of your videos the type of cattle to get milk from that doesn't have the lactase enzyme which breed was that?
Retired SeniorChief I believe it was a Jersey cow with a2a2 grade of milk
Really neat. Good luck
What do you do with all the dead trees
I didn't know goats ate poison ivy. These people have an interesting business (or I should say multiple businesses). But the one here is hiring out their herd of goats to clear bramble brush and other thick tangled leafy vegetation. Thanks for the vid.
What is the breed.
What would this look like if pigs went behind the goats?
Hi everyone out there.
The videos are very good but hi have few questions about the life of farmers growers shepherds cowboys etc. I request smeone who is in such type of businesses to respond my questios please.
1) how to manage cattles/sheep when owner or shepherd falls ill ?
2) How shepherds cowboys enjoy recreational activities like visiting friends and fun places.?
Note: abve questions are in situation when owner is alone to start the busuiness or is at primary stage.Or is it manageable to hire labour force to run the farms etc?
3)
Can you run pigs goats and sheep in the same area
I have a some goats that I keep with my sheep. They seem to coexist just fine. Not sure it would make sense to chuck pigs in the mix since they need supplemental feed, and the ruminants do not. That said I do have a piglet who is younger than the rest of my pigs and was getting beat up who is temporarily living with my rams, so anything is possible. If you develop a sheep/goat/pig grazing system please post a video.
How do they keep coyotes and other predators protected from the goats
We have guardian dogs that live with the sheep 365 days of the year.
Goats don't generally attack coyotes and predators unless you train em up right
Goat's differently do a great job 😃
How do they handle tics
Tics are a constant nuisance. They are on the pasture as well as in the woods. Pick them off at least twice a day from May through September. Probably not what you want to hear but that's the reality. They are awful.
Ziga Grazing you don’t mean pick them off the goats, right?
goat footage!
If a person is skittish to burn brush piles, add goats.
My sheep would eat all that too...
Why you are giving them mineral why they are eating brushes from tree that high rate of minerals
Super cool I'm so blessed to not have that kind of brush.
Im no marketing genious here but if you called your business something more self explanatory and eye catching you would probably have more searches, somming like goat landscaping or goat bush waker or the brush eaters or eco brush removal or somming like that because no one knows what zega or ziga or however thats written is
I agree 100%, most people have no clue what ZIGA means.
throw a block of salt all the way in there and then let 300 cows go to town will do a good job as well.
to much red ceder will abort nanny i found this out the hard way!
