Thanks Hamza!
Great info thank you. I do my own vet work and i keep records on birth, death and treatments but i never gave a thought bout feed, its just something we buy never thought bout recording. As for culling this is the first year we will have to do this some of the reasons you mentioned i hadnt thought of
Hello! Thanks for the comments. Nice to see you’re still watching the videos. 😬
Feed is one of the most expensive recurring costs on the farm. ANYTHING you can do to bring down the cost of your feed will pay dividends down the road. Culling is tough and for those who only keep a few animals for pets, it really doesn’t serve a purpose. For those of us that are raising livestock for profit, it’s a necessity. I must admit, I’m not a fan of it on an emotional level. We like our animals more than we like most people (😂) and having to get rid of any of them is tough. With that being said, every once in a while we get a rowdy male that we can’t get rid of fast enough.
@@LinessaFarms we have been building up our herd but now we have to meny lol and we're only half way through birthing so yea culling is becoming a thing. After watching your video im going to look at each individual and include your criteria . Making money was not a priority at first just fill the freezer but now we are becoming big enough to take cost more serriously
They multiply quickly. Our flock goes from 60 to about 180 every spring for a few months. Our creeps go through 100 pounds of feed per day. 😐
Babies are the best part of farming, in my opinion, so I’m not complaining. You’re in a good spot right now and you will be able to focus on adjusting as your farm grows. Keep us posted on how everything goes. 👍🏻
So as I am looking to increase my heard, going forward I like the lines of the alpine boar cross. So in buying a buck do I go with the alpine side or the boar side or do I find a cross?
Catherine,
This is a great question without an easy answer. It really depends on what you like about each breed. We keep a lot of alpine and diary cross does on the farm because of increased milking ability. I am not crazy about the milk production of a full boer and I am not crazy about the body muscling of a full alpine. I would tell you to go full boer buck on alpine does but that is difficult to do and not have birthing issues due to baby size. In our case, we originally bred a small framed boer buck on the largest dairy does we could find and then started breeding larger and larger boer bucks into the larger boer/dairy cross replacement does. In the long run, I would say it will take you a couple of years to get where you want to be. If you already have some descent size boer alpine cross does, I would breed a boer buck on them for better carcass size.
In our case, we have a few generations under our belt and to look at our goats now you would assume they are all boer. The reality is, we have goats that look like/have a boer body with the milking ability almost as good as an alpine. Best of both worlds, good carcass and good milkers that can support large eating babies. We don’t milk goats here or do anything with goats milk.... if that’s your aim, we will need to reevaluate your plan.
@@LinessaFarms i already have buyers for milk after the girls kid. But this is my first freshening as well as my two years old alpine boar cross who was breed by a nubian. So I'm in the learning stage but looking forward on what I want for my heard. I'm looking for good milkers as well as good meat. I'm a very small farm. So not looking to grow more than 15 full heard kids and adults.
