    Thank you for this content. I appreciate watching how you do things, recycle, build from pallets, etc. Basically you use what you have instead of being 100% store bought. Your frugality is very much appreciated. It's discouraging, as someone just starting out from nothing, to see you-tubers constantly buying & having contractors build them bigger than we will ever be. Anyway, than you for sharing your simple, down to earth ways

      Yes. It is from Hattitude by Cathy Carron. In that book it is a red 'little red riding hood' hat. I made it with Romney sheep super bulky home spun yarn and then felted it down to the size I wanted. No wind gets through this hat!

  • @jessibell-pj8dx
    @jessibell-pj8dx 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would offer one piece of advice. Research in Uganda shows that goats prefer to eat food at eye level. I would be willing to bet if you had a manger attached to the fence at eye level the goats would eat more of the food. There would still be waste that they would drop in the floor but it would be much less. Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one reusing the wasted hay :) your goats are absolutely beautiful!

      I do make special order it is just really expensive because I shear, wash, spin, knit, and then felt the hat. If you want a special order I can give you one for sure. I have about 100 hours into one hat so usually people feel like it is too expensive. I make this hat for $150. They last for years...mine is eight now.

      Once they eat out what they want to it is just sticks that don't have much nutritional value for dairy goats. If I force them to eat it their milk production goes way down.
