You Want to Raise Goats? Must Have Items Every Goat Owner Should Have On Hand
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มิ.ย. 2019
- We put a video together that shows most of our medical and goat care items that we use on our farm. These are important items to have on hand to deal with many situations on a goat farm.
Hidden Heights Farm- First Aid Medical Kit every goat keeper should have on hand
Not all items listed below are shown in picture.
MEDICAL/EMERGENCY ITEMS
amzn.to/2WSzbDn Thermometer - it’s crucial to know when a goat is running a fever, especially a baby.
amzn.to/31aTRFX Blood stop powder - We use this when trimming hooves & we accidentally trim them to the quick. Don’t judge, we’re not perfect, it happens. Also used for disbudding if you disbud your kids.
amzn.to/2IupCl4/ Blu Kote Fungicidal. Antiseptic, Protective Wound dressing. Kills ringworm & fungus infections. Perfect to spray on wounds to prevent flies. Also used after disbudding
Vitamin B complex-awesome pick-me-up, helps with appetite and rallying a sick animal.
Pepto - great to have around for the runs and upset tummies.
Baking soda - In the case of bloat or other acidosis of the rumen, you’ll need this to restore balance.
Goat Nutri-drench-good all-round boost for a goat not feeling 100%. I often give a dose of this after kidding.
Iron -injectable iron. If you have an anemic animal, this will help them fight it and get back on their feet.
amzn.to/2Xveniv Probios paste-rumens need friendly bacteria to keep them running properly. This helps.
Iodine-spray, liquid or wipes. Doesn’t matter which one, just have it on hand.
Peroxide - I prefer the spray bottle
amzn.to/2XubRZV Wormers-ivermectin, Cydectin, Prohibit
Activated charcoal gel-in case one of them gets poisoned
amzn.to/31gii55 Selenium/vitamin E gel
amzn.to/2KymTcP Goat Copper Bolus-Adult & kid doses. We give this to our goats every 6 months.
Arnica-for pain, swelling bruises and other injuries.
amzn.to/2HYtI5H Co-flex bandages (Self-Adherent Cohesive Wrap Bandages)-we use this for stints to straighten legs out. Broken legs always happen at a weekend when the vet is closed. This stuff can keep things stable until you can get them in the next day, thus avoiding an out-of-hours monster-charge.
Gauze pads
amzn.to/2Xt0aCp Scalpel-disposable scalpel’s for abscess', minor procedures, etc.
Syringes-various syringes from a three cc to a thirty cc for shots and drenching.
Balling gun- for giving pills & copper bolus
Alcohol or Alcohol Wipes- use these to clean the tools that I may need to use in.
Hand Sanitizer
Rubber Gloves
Towels
Hoof trimmers
Castrating tool & rubber bands
Ear tag equipment?
KIDDING KIT in addition to the Medical Kit
Pritchard Nipples-These are awesome! They fit over the top of a 750ml soda bottle in case mama refuses/is unable to feed the kids and we need to intervene.
Soda bottles-clean & ready to go should we need to help feeding the babies.
Kid Colostrum-Powdered version for back-up. The best option is getting frozen colostrum from local goat contact but that is not always available.
Old Towels, rags, t-shirts or blankets-in case I need to take up residence in the kidding stall for a few hours.
Personal Lubricant or Vaseline-This is in case I need to “go in” and assist by turning a breech kid.

Your love for your animals shows in the compassion you portray in your videos
👍🤗good to know 👍
Great video on goat maintenance!💕
Awesome video, thanks
We got goats today NOT ready but it was last minute. Ive been watching lots of goat vids today to find what we need! We raise pigs, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, and hunt and feed deer
Love your information. Thank you for all you and your family shares.
Thank you for watching
This guy knows his shit for sure alot of this stuff applies to cows and calf's too
Hey Kevin and Rachel, you guys are very knowledgeable! Great job 👍👍👍😎
Great video love all the info you guys are fast becoming my favorite homestead channel. Dutch who lol
You guy's are doing awesome with all the goats, hope you guy's have an awesome evening, God Bless
Thank you
Your very welcome, God Bless
Good share , keep most items around.
I can only imagine all the first farmers around the world, the nomadic ones, carrying around the "essentials" for thousands of years
Thank You!
Great information. Your videos are always full of helpful information
Wonderful video and explanation on the items. Have all that stuff but noobie goat owners need to know this stuff
Hope the rest of the kidding season goes well :) preventative health care is the best health care! Y'all might not be vets but there's experience and that's a HUGE help in any shape or form. Awesome to see thanks Rachael Kevin & Kaya!
Great video! Hi Kyah...great to see you again!
Great video with lots of information. We don't have goats but if we did this would be helpful for sure. I think anyone with livestock/farm animals should have a vet and a mentor to call. Experience is knowledge and you can never have to much of it. 😊👍
Thankyou loads of info some I didnt know 😊
You guy are awesome what a lot of information in a short period of time.
Great 👍 Video!!! Team Work makes the Dream Work!!! Kyah always brings the Sunshine 🌞
Those Goats❤️are certainly in good hands on your farm.You take great care of them😊Your daughter is a”camera pro”...Pretty soon she’ll be taking over the vlogs 😂
Great video. Very informative. I really enjoyed watching. Have a Blessed Day **HUGS & PRAYERS ** from Kelly and critters at Piney Haven Homestead 😁
Thank you so much for this info. I put it all in a spreadsheet so i can check it off as I build my kits. -C
Great video. A parcel of good info for any farm person. Gonna book mark this one to watch again and future reference. Thanks for sharing the info and experience.
I didn't know there was so much meds for goats. I thought goats were easy to take care of. Thanks for the information.
This was a great video...especially for newbies! Thank you!
Thank you! We're preparing to bring our goats home and this was so informative for thinking about first aid and things we need on hand!
Very informative video. Would love more like this one. I am just looking to buy my first small herd.
Awesome good luck
I am a Nurse/ EMT as my regular day job so I have put together a pretty extensive "Goat Go Bag" from an old tactical military bag I had when I worked on the ambulance and was a tactical medic for our local sheriffs department. I had IV set-ups but the fluids all were out of date and since I made the switch to all 100% Spanish, I have not had to use much of my Go Bag and have scaled it back a bit. Your kit is an excellent one.
Sounds like your doing it right. We have actually followed you on Facebook for awhile. Thanks for watching our videos. You have some awesome looking goats
Great & informative video! Y’all may not be vets, but sharing your experience & wealth of information is so helpful. Baby goats are so stinking cute & entice a lot of people to own them. However, so many people get them without really researching what it takes to raise them, keep them healthy & the costs involved. I hope this video is seen by current goat owners & potential goat owners. Keep up the great work & videos. Always a plus to see Rachel & Kyah. Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas
Came over from keeping it Dutch...
Lots of great info here...
Awesome thank you for checking us out
Really informative video.. Anyone who may be interested in raising goats would get a lot of valuable information that might help them decide if this is for them.. I had no idea about the copper in goats diet for instance.. people really need to do the research before they get into any endeavor..
Great video with helpful info. enjoy your channel, keep up the good work!
Enjoyed this video. Very informative.
Great to see another channel from Oklahoma. We are just starting our little homestead here. I had no idea about the copper. I got a couple of goats a few days ago. They are still warming up to me but I seem to be their person now.
Thank you. Never had goats on our farm, when I was younger. So much info. Believe me if able and land would raise goats especially how they are so cool and keep the land clean. Seems to many years people thought sheep and goats were bad. Myself never understood. Years ago got real sick and one neighbor gave me goats milk to help. Well still here. So had friends in the past that used goats in Seattle to take care of the brush on the hills. Believe me think you both ate wonderful and kind to share.
This is a good idea. Thank you
Thank you for clearing up the copper supplements. I've raised cattle, a ton of pigs, poultry and unfortunately sheep and a couple horses, but never goats. Thanks again for the great info.
Seems like a ton of work compared to other livestock.
They can be a lot of work
awesome video guys and i do love me some diet dr pepper lol hugsss from Ontario Canada
Thanks for info
I found this video very helpful !!
Great information thanks
Great video lots of info
Really enjoyed the video this morning. I have just about the same equipment that you have in yours. A couple things I do keep in my birthing kit are some thin cotton string and betadine for the cord. I also keep oxytocin in the fridge in case I needed it for one of the doe's that does not drop l milk right away it does help bring on her milk and also lets her pass the placenta a little quicker. I raise the nubian and also boer goats so I usually have mine pinned up close to the house during kidding. Once the babies are about 8 days old and I have disbudded the ones that I want done I turned them all out as a group.
You're video is very helpful and should really help anyone who is new starting out
So love this video. We are thinking about getting goats in the next month or two and I've been making a list of what I need. I missed some items by watching this. Thank you so very much
Thank you for watching!
Great video and one I wish I had seen when I first started out. I had to learn it all by trial and error and by asking the old hands. Next do one on foot care. There are a lot of them on TH-cam but the quality all sucks. Another one I had to learn from an old hand.
Great looking Spanish Goats!!! They are as deep black as I've ever seen. Calfee Farms, my Spanish Goat Operation, in East Tennessee, it is very copper deficient so I have to do 4g copper capsules for each goat 3 times a year and then a goat specific loose mineral free choice in each pasture year round. We have Koy Ranch Spanish Goats as well as 5 other Spanish bloodlines. We definitely love our Spanish goats and that is the only breed we have. Again, Great looking goats, love your channel, and you Okies (you and Daniel Arms) know how to raise some great looking goats!!! God bless!🙂
Thank you so much for the kind words. Your goats are awesome as well. You guys have a great operation.
Thanks for this - very helpful for us just about to get into goats. Copy and pasted your list to have on hand.
Awesome glad you could use our list!
Great video
This is very informative and gives a lot of great information! Glad to know what some of those products are used for as I’ve seen them many times!
Thanks!
Great video thinks guys
Thanks very much i have lean something from this video. for now i am starting goete farming.
Great
Very informative! Last I knew on cows, they had to have a brand. (New Mexico)
Great information guys.
I'll be new to goats this next season
Thank you
Really good info on the copper and even the soil itself...I'm going to have our soil tested or at least see if there isn't something published on our area....good tip, thanks!
Good idea!
Rachel I just want to add how often the batteries on thermometer should be changed? Do you think you should get an extra one due to the many y’all have. I’m so glad you’re showing this as many people starting out don’t have a clue. Those that milk don’t wash the teats and goats teats and udders should be checked anyway as nursing moms can get problems and might need some medicines to keep them from getting or treat mastitis. Pepto bismol is good for goats that get bloat. That’s a good Kit that y’all have there. Keep baby wipes around too. Sorry I forgot to say hello to your pretty sweet daughter; Hello little Ms. Kyah.
Thanks for the great suggestions as ways Audrey. I never even thought about including some if the things you just mentioned, especially for people that milk their goats. Thanks for watching 💜
Rachel Pritchett , I enjoy you all so much and I know you’re not dairy only why I mentioned. Also I can’t believe y’all been doing this so long as you two look so young. I still think about you handling that snake like noting. I want to say I believe Kyah will be either a Vet or a Homesteader as she is so smart and has no fear and can teach some adults a thing or two. Have a great day.
@@audreyabdo7719 thank you for the kind words😊
Great information in this video on caring for goats. If you could do a video on the differences between the 3 types of goats, their benefits and why you chose them. You mentioned you were going to cross the kinkos with the black Spanish, what do want to accomplish by doing so. Thank you again and keep up the great work!!!👍
Great idea!
Great idea thanks for the comment!
Wow! This is great info. Thanks for sharing. Not everybody does this. So.. Which goat would you recommend, the black Spanish or kiko?
Baking soda is good to have on hand as well it helps with the ph in there rumen you just set some out free choice and if they need it they will have a little bit
You are correct
I guess I'll just enjoy watching your goats. It's a high cost to keep them. Besides, I don't think my apartment manager would allow it..lol
He's must be a spoil sport! 😝
❤❤❤
nice respect from pakistan
Awesome
I’ve never given my goats any kind of copper supplement. It’s in the feed that I buy. I wonder if it’s naturally in the ground in my area?
Corrid use -must keep in mind it can cause thiamine deficiency, causing polio, which kills quick too.
I am Vet doctor in Afghanistan
How’s the little kids leg doing??? His leg better??
how often do you need to give them the copper?
Hmm, very interesting on when castration. So they do better when going to market if intact? Does that mean they are beefier or ppl prefer to have the option of breeding them? I know it is a bad idea to castrate big dogs before they have fully grown as they will have arthritis issues later in life (like mine does).
They do better for market around here if they are left intact
What do you use for dewormer? Have used safeguard 3x dose and injectable ivermectin have you had any other luck with any other dewormers? In the Nebraska area thanks
It really depends on what type of work you are dealing with. I would recommend taking a decal sample to your local vet so he can tell you what wormer to use.
Label on Blu Kote says not to use on meat animals. I'm assuming due to not have the thorough testing to day it's safe. I know most things are used off label as hardly anything is tested for goats
Hello
Sounds like you’re saying the goats can contract CWD from the deer?
Goats sound like a pain in the ass.😁 But they're so adorable.
TAKE THAT TURKEY TO DUTCH SO HE WILL QUIT CRYING .JUST JOKING GOOD VIDEO
Buddy, is it Thanksgiving already?
Look for the turkey to take up residence in that cage Dutch has for it about 3 days before its demise. The turkey is becoming a legend.
I think Dutch knows what he’s doing, letting Keven fatten up his turkey 🦃. Hmmmm
😱😱Pepto Bismol costs sooooooo much😱😱
do you cut there hair from them if they have a lot. around there baby making ary
Nope we've never had to
I seen in other vids that after the momma has her kid that they dip the ambilicial cords. Do u also do that or no??
Also why is it they can show the live births but u cant?? Is it TH-cam blocking it or is it just ur audience on here doesn't want to see it???
Ok you convinced me, I'm never getting goats lol
They do require maintenance for sure which takes time and money. We enjoy caring for them though. It's like therapy for us in a way. Thanks for watching 💜
@@mrs.hiddenheightsfarm9119 💜💜💜
Lots of work
how to join in your company
How is that baby goat?
Much better, walking completely normal now and running and jumping like crazy, lol. Thanks for watching 💜
Rachel, that response fills my heart with joy!
@@mrs.hiddenheightsfarm9119 ,. I'm glad to hear that.
See, I was all locked in on raising sheep, but now ur messing with my thinking lol
Good, sheep are ok but we like the goats better.
I live in Pakistan now, do you guys have any cell or business contact that in an emergency call it would help for me I’ll be the new goat farmer
Our ancestors did not have all of this the title is very misleading
How much pesto can u give a kid goat abt 7 months
Sounds like goats are drug attic’s
Great video
Thank you
