Not that you ever listen matt.. you need to put a nut on the stud under the filter and tighten it to the throttle body so it wont loosen up and fall into the the throttle blade..
The one and only donkey I have ever been familiar with used to brae many times at sunrise and could be heard a mile away. Are they all like that??? Matt does like sunrises, I don’t know how the rest of the family (or neighbors) feel about sleeping late.
I'm no farmer, and I can't say I've seen a lot of them, but I've never seen a goat shed right next to a fence, and I have seen goats on top of their sheds all the time.
Yeah, they are amazingly good at climbing. Not just good at, they love doing it too. I wasn't thinking of it at first but you are right, right next to the fence isn't the place for it. Even just 10 feet away would stop them, I think.
Build your goat barn on skids so you can move it around that way it’s easy to clean the pen or move it to a different place if you need to. Also I would recommend wood sides so it stays cooler in the summer
I would definitely make sure that the goats don't have a way to climb up high enough to jump out. I would also recommend moving those rocks somewhere inside the pen and you can always build a jungle-gym type of thing so they can climb. Since goats love to climb.
In my opinion you should always build your livestock shelters as strong as a house, they need to be able to withstand heavy storms and strong winds, And be insulated.
I'd recommend sectioning off part of the shelter to use as storage to store extra feed, brushes, clippers for their hooves, and other things you'll need for the goats that way it's just in one area and if you forget something you don't have to run all the way back to the house or main barn.
I have goats in Texas and a 3 sided shed will be fine. Metal in Texas will fine as well. Goats are very hard on everything so the more metal the better. Hope you get my metal suggestion. Build it away from the fence unless you are going to make it to tall enough that they cannot jump on the roof. If your driving in and out of the pen then make it so you have to go through two gates , one gate is always closed when entering and exiting. If your male is not banded already then you need to fix that or be prepared for a very aggressive goat and I am not kidding on that.
When they're young you can just use one of those Igloo dog houses for shelter. They are small enough that their body heat will keep them warm in the winter and they love to jump on top of it!
Hey Matt, you should put a nut at the bottom of the hold down so you can lock the hold down to the top of the TB, then it can't come out again. 22Rs vibrate a bit so a lock nut at the TB is necessary to insure it stays.
Make sure the barn is facing east to protect them from the wind an rain. I would put the barn closer to the gate. I would build a water collection system like the chicken coop and have lights either solar or run electricity.
Unless your brakes are leaking, you probably will need to replace your brake pads soon. The brake master reservoir is sized so that it holds enough fluid until the pads wear out and the pistons extend. Change your brakes, bleed them, then make sure the reservoir is at the full mark.
Couldn't have said it better myself!! So many times iv had customer vehicles that they topped up there reservoir and when we replace the pads the brake fluid overflows and makes a wonderful mess.
For the barn, any simple, yet sturdy structure that has a heating lamp or even insulation if you’re feeling fancy. But I mean, the most important thing is that it keeps them warm, dry, and safe. You COULD put something like a dog or mule or something out there with them for protection against animals, but that part isn’t necessary assuming you attend to them regularly
With the rocks, use those for the goats to climb on, it will help keep the hooves wore down. That way you won't have to trim them as often. Also make sure your goat hut is tall enough that the goats can't jump on top of it and then jump the fence. And if you build a 3 sided run in with a wall that also goes half way across the front, they will be able to stay out of all wind and weather that way.
Hi there Matt! It's so fun that you got your kiddos kids of their own. Does this make you and Mere grandparents? Those rock slabs will be PERFECT for a play structure for the babies. The good thing about rock is it will also help to keep their hooves from overgrowing as fast. The biggest thing to keep in mind when putting a shelter up for goats is that they HATE water. If they are on the downhill side of all the water that is going to run off that hill, they are not going to be happy. I would suggest putting some sort of "poor man's" french drain, meaning dig a ditch on the uphill side of the shelter and back fill it with large gravel. I think that'd go a long way to keeping them happy. The other option would be to put a floor on it, which would resolve most of the water runoff issue. There are a lot of good channels out there to show you what goats want and need. I would recommend making the lean-to/shelter portable (to an extent). I'd make it so the skinniest end can fit thru your gate, just in case and that three of the four sides are closed in. If can envision what I'll try to describe, then it may be helpful. Essentially what I'd build would be what is frequently referred to as a loafing shed. If you can envision a rectangular structure with 6 posts erecting it, you would completely cover three of the four sides. Now, on the front of it, it will be open with a post in the middle of it length-wise. If it were me, I would also make a half wall on one side of the front. It will help with shade, wind break and blowing rain. If at all possible, it would be great if you could keep it strong enough to withstand weather, but light enough that you would be able to make it somewhat portable. I hope this helps. If nothing else, it'll give you some ideas. If you look at Flair's channel, you can see the two large red structures he has in his animal paddocks. That's the idea behind what I tried to describe, lol. I tried! Heather🇨🇦
There's a lot of comments already but I'll mention some obvious things for the goat shelter. Make sure you use treated lumber. Build the shelter far enough away from the fence it cannot be used to get out. I would suggest facing the entrance to the east. It will protect them from any north wind during the winter. Maybe that helps?
It’s nice to see things happening, I’m wondering if you could make another water system for the small goat barn a system like what you did in the chicken pen.
As many others are mentioning. Get their shed AWAY from the fence. They really love climbing things and even though those feet don't look to be made of super grippy rubber, they can climb things you would never believe they could.
Burn the juniper then spread the ash to encourage grasses to grow : Predators will jump the fence and eat our little goats . You need a couple strands of barbwire on top of the fence line .
Matt, put locktite on the carb filter stud. That way you won't have to worry about it vibrating loose on you. Preferably red or orange locktite, since youll likely have alot of heat in that area
probably a hard to undo sort on the rod into the body then a type you can undo on the top nut so you can take it off (I only know blue & purple, are red & orange the equivalent in high temp?)
@@trif55 orange is similar to blue but it's made more for high temp environments, red is the strongest but being it's being heat soaked in that area regularly, it would reduce some of its effectiveness. I doubt blue or purple will do anything and might as well just use nothing on it
Check out Lumnah Acres they have goats and have built servers barns/sheds using Jamaica cottages. Or something like that. The make kits you put together.
Hi Matt. I would reccomend put a nut on the bottom side of that bolt you just installed. After screwing it in then tighten the nut down onto the carb. The way you have it now it will likely vibrate loose again like the first one.
Hi Matt, just remember not to put the goat pen close enough to the fence that they can clime on top and get over the fence, because if you give them even a bit of a chance they will get out and course all sorts of problems.
What you want in a goat shed/house is a square with a roof and a floor. What you don't want in a goat pen is it anywhere near the gate or fence. If you were unaware, goats love jumping on top of stuff and anything near the fence will be an open exit route.
Leave a gap in between the top of the walls and the roof, about ten inches will do. This combined with some overhang on the roof will give some ventilation. You can fit some hinged flaps or canvas to close it off in winter. When it gets cold they'll need some straw on the ground, remember you have Boer crosses, they are hot-weather goats. And yes as others have said either a donkey or a Maremma sheepdog (who will be quite happy living with the goats, google them) is going to be needed to keep them safe. 25 years of goat keeping here, I have around 200 at the moment.
Get the Great Pyrenees Dogs, great for goats, give yourself enough room coming in the gate for a truck/trailer to pull through, definitely dont put the “barn” close to the fence, they love to climb…always fun watching your videos!
I haven’t watched yet but hopefully this brings back the chicken coop build memories! The goats are going to love jumping on those rocks if you can move them to the pen.
For the goat barn, make a normal size entry door, barn style with at least half made of fencing for air flow, and a swinging cover for that fencing hole too for winter, and make a second 2-3'x1' door just for the goats, that way during the winter the big door can stay closed
That's a standard 1/4-20 carburetor stud. You need a toothed nut or at least another nut to screw down on there and tighten against the "injection" end of that stud. It won't come loose or fall out anymore. They've been done that way for 573 years.
For the Toyota Air filter bolt... put a nut on the part that threads into the carburetor amd tighten that nut down against the carburetor. It will make it so the bolt is tightened into the carb, and the top nut is tight against the lid... double tight!
Build a stock near the barn (so they’re used to it) in which you can keep them secured while giving them shots, trimming hooves, etc.. On the hooves note, those boulders will help keep their hooves filed as well as being a fun play structure.
Since Scott is coming it would be hilarious if you invited him to dinner at the house and have Mere cook an eggplant lasagna and not tell him until he's eaten some of it. Because nobody likes eggplants
Instead of lowering the gate, take a load of gravel and build up the ground under the gate. The ground will get worn over time, and this will prevent water from pooling under the gate. Great Channel Matt!!
If I were building a goat shed, I would include a back room to store supplies/feed. I don’t want to have to carry everything with me every time I visit the animals.
If your going permanent build a big wooden shed with no bottom put eye bolts so it can be lifted put on a concrete base for the bedding so its easier to clean love the vids man!!!
It's pretty cool that Scott is coming to the ranch, I would load up on watermelons if I was you, and maybe hide a few eggplants for him to randomly find...lol...he just did a video to see how tough Rino Liner was on his truck, it would be cool to see how thick it needs to be to stop a bullet.
A barn/shed with at least 3 sizes enclosed and a large door on the other. They like sleeping outside but when it gets windy and rainy outside, they like to be someplace free from drafts. It should be large enough for you to have a feeder and water inside. Dirt floors are ok as long as water doesn't get inside as goats typically hate getting wet. Having concrete floors are nice for clean up as you can scrape it clean. If you have any large rocks/boulders that can be placed in the fenced in area, they will love it.
Matt you should move the large rocks into the goat pen. Goats love verticality and them jumping on and off the rocks can help their hooves. Or at least what my ag class said decades ago.
I would pile all the rocks up in the middle of the goat enclosure and put dirt over the with grass seed. Then you’ll have a nice grassy, rocky hill for the goats to climb and you’ll use up all your dunnage for something useful.
Goat pen - allow for some outside rain and sun shelter as well as the barn itself... In the heat of summer the "barn" will give shade but it will also be as hot as hell inside!
We have a JCB TeleSkid CTR. We love it because of the left side door and the ability to extend out the boom. They are expensive, but it probably gets the most use of any piece of equipment on our farm.
Make sure there is little dirt the way goats eat isnt like sheep, they tend to eat dirt and can cause some major problems. Dirt in the barn is okay but dont let dirt be near their food.
Matt, someone near me is selling an armored Hum-V that has a turret, bullet proof windows, etc. Looks like it just came from the military base and it has your name alllll over it!
Bought new in '87, my Toyota with 22r engine is still a daily driver. It's never needed anything repaired, and just started burning a little oil last year. You won't regret getting yours.
The comments about the goats jumping onto the roof and over the fence is legit, they will do that. Also, the comment about building it on skids so you can move it around to clean inside will save you from having to go inside to clean it. You can anchor it with screw in earth anchors to keep it from washing down the hill. Finally, if you don't find a way to divert rain water away from the goat shed, rain water is just going to run down that hill and collect on the level ground you just made leaving the floor of the shed a muddy mess. $.02
I agree, the shelter needs to be anchored in place, goats (especially males) love headbutting anything and everything and rubbing on stuff. They could move the sheltrr if it is not properly secured...
Barn...at LEAST 15 feet from the fence. Not only do goats climb, they leap astonishing distances. DRAINAGE is huge, if you can keep the floors dty, it's worth platinum.
Looking at the land, all those cedar under the oak and all the dry stuff on the ground. Need to look at bringing someone out to do some prescribed burns. Get all the low level stuff cleaned out to allow some natural grasses and wild lands grow.
My first car was an old Pontiac, that same air filter bolt came lose and dropped straight down the carb barrel and stuck the throttle wide open! It was a crazy ride I had to turn off the key to stop it. After that I checked that wing nut weekly lol
Those Toyota 22R engines are virtually indestructible. The 5 speed transmissions behind them, not so. Had one in high school. Ran the hell out of it. Got it from a cousin with over 85,000 miles on it and put another 90,000 on it myself. Driving like an idiot. Replaced the transmission once and rebuilt it three times. Replaced the started, alternator, and fuel pump on the engine and that's it! Telling you, those 22R's are indestructible! Mine was an '84 model.
i havent read any other comments,so here goes. A few ideas/questions i have #1 are you going to protect the goat pen with electric fencing(for protection towards predators and especially wild boars)?#2 How are you planning on protecting the goats from all of your deadly texan rattlesnakes?#3 Did you use blue lock-tite on your bolt used to fasten down the airfilter on your toyota repair job? I'm not meaning for any of these questions to be in any way to come across as being negative, i'm not trying to be one of those jerk off trolls, i litterally am just positively curious!!! i love all your content you bless us with, and congrats on your awesome job on the abandoned mansion wrap-up short movie, i was one of the many who watched it while it premiered, i loved every minute and was disapointed it wasnt twice as long,lol!!!
Wood posts will get chewed. Making it with steel posts & on a frame with skids would allow it to be moved easily. Make sure the roof is tall enough the goats cannot jump up onto it. Fences will also need to be way better to keep goats in.
Matthew, @3:15ish, that was some FINE ITALIAN you were SPEAKING right there with your TEXAS HANDS. Lil bit of pointing over here & rolling over there & even some ROLL-POINTING hooked together thrown in for good measure!!!
Better put a dab of lock-tight on that bolt. You should build the shed away from the fence, goats love to climb and escape. Buying a wood shed from Orange or Blue home improvement would make it easier. Plus, you could put a watering trough along one end, outside. You are gonna hate having that gate right there, trying to turn every time. Might work better if you put it at an angle, at the corner. Have to adjust the poles a little. Definitely, gonna need to be lower and wider.
A goat shed should be at least 3 sided to protect from wind and rain I build mine on skids so I can move it around.. don't build it next to a fence they will jump out I usually build a 6 x 10 shed about 4 ft tall and face the back towards the north to protect from cold ... Yes even in Tx ..put straw down " not hay " as a insulation barrier between the ground and the goats both from wet and cold
Mat ya probably already thought of this but ya have to keep in mind erosion the dirt will over time be pulled away from the barn unless ya put a long mound of dirt in front of it.
I agree with the gentleman who recommended a donkey to protect the goats. They are fierce and very protective.
I agree with this as well.
Not that you ever listen matt.. you need to put a nut on the stud under the filter and tighten it to the throttle body so it wont loosen up and fall into the the throttle blade..

Very smart idea. When a fella knows, he knows. Information has value.
that's better than my idea to build doors at each end so the skid loader could clean it out easily.

100% all this !
Metal sides of a goat house in Texas would be like an oven in the summer months, which are still ongoing now. 😮
My thoughts exacly. I was thinking make it out of wood. Quite literally a wooden shed as it would both keep heat out and keep heat in.
Wood for sure!
Adobe would be a smarter choice.
I have a metal barn with r panel in Texas. It makes no difference. My goats are in it everyday.

If I were building a goat shed, I would include a back room to store supplies/feed. I don’t want to have to carry everything with me every time I visit the animals.
If your going permanent build a big wooden shed with no bottom put eye bolts so it can be lifted put on a concrete base for the bedding so its easier to clean love the vids man!!!
It's pretty cool that Scott is coming to the ranch, I would load up on watermelons if I was you, and maybe hide a few eggplants for him to randomly find...lol...he just did a video to see how tough Rino Liner was on his truck, it would be cool to see how thick it needs to be to stop a bullet.
A barn/shed with at least 3 sizes enclosed and a large door on the other. They like sleeping outside but when it gets windy and rainy outside, they like to be someplace free from drafts. It should be large enough for you to have a feeder and water inside. Dirt floors are ok as long as water doesn't get inside as goats typically hate getting wet. Having concrete floors are nice for clean up as you can scrape it clean. If you have any large rocks/boulders that can be placed in the fenced in area, they will love it.
The goats LOVE a pile of rocks to climb on, especially the littles.
Matt you should move the large rocks into the goat pen. Goats love verticality and them jumping on and off the rocks can help their hooves. Or at least what my ag class said decades ago.
You gotta prep there area goats are at because they are notoriously know for escaping, also please get something to protect them from coyotes.
I would pile all the rocks up in the middle of the goat enclosure and put dirt over the with grass seed. Then you’ll have a nice grassy, rocky hill for the goats to climb and you’ll use up all your dunnage for something useful.
Don't forget to fix Scott eggplant for dinner Matt, can't wait to see what you two get into. 🤣
Goat pen - allow for some outside rain and sun shelter as well as the barn itself... In the heat of summer the "barn" will give shade but it will also be as hot as hell inside!
I definitely would put locktite on the carb stud!
We have a JCB TeleSkid CTR. We love it because of the left side door and the ability to extend out the boom. They are expensive, but it probably gets the most use of any piece of equipment on our farm.
Goats need: bowling alley, snack bar, and a slip n slide.
And an artillery range.
Put the crank Gatling on the Old mini truck! Then do moving target shooting again like the mini van days
Make sure there is little dirt the way goats eat isnt like sheep, they tend to eat dirt and can cause some major problems. Dirt in the barn is okay but dont let dirt be near their food.
it's called a "loafing shed" AND "Living on the Tyne" is right! if they get on the roof the WILL jump out! Also build on skids is right too!
You should create what flair has with all his animals together. Just start collecting different animals.
For the rocks, get a "Beak" by Daniel's manufacturing. Such an amazing attachment for a skid steer
Matt, someone near me is selling an armored Hum-V that has a turret, bullet proof windows, etc. Looks like it just came from the military base and it has your name alllll over it!
To lower the gate just take the gate off the fence and to the welder. Cut off those hinges and raise them to lower the overall height.
Build it strong Matt your goats will climb all over it and eat everything mate 😂
Bought new in '87, my Toyota with 22r engine is still a daily driver. It's never needed anything repaired, and just started burning a little oil last year. You won't regret getting yours.
The comments about the goats jumping onto the roof and over the fence is legit, they will do that. Also, the comment about building it on skids so you can move it around to clean inside will save you from having to go inside to clean it. You can anchor it with screw in earth anchors to keep it from washing down the hill. Finally, if you don't find a way to divert rain water away from the goat shed, rain water is just going to run down that hill and collect on the level ground you just made leaving the floor of the shed a muddy mess. $.02
I agree, the shelter needs to be anchored in place, goats (especially males) love headbutting anything and everything and rubbing on stuff. They could move the sheltrr if it is not properly secured...
the gate you can make fence fit under gate use emt 3/4 in or 1 in tubing or cut fence to side and wire tie to pipe.
You can get a trained attack donkey! Yes it’s a thing, and they are awesome for heard protection
they hate canines and will not care to kill Demo, nor mini goats
Barn...at LEAST 15 feet from the fence. Not only do goats climb, they leap astonishing distances.
DRAINAGE is huge, if you can keep the floors dty, it's worth platinum.
I could totally see Matt having his own cooking show called OffTheRanch Dressing.
Ranch dressing was going to be the name of bunker branding. So I don’t think that’ll work
@@usapsycho8369 Was it really? Wow, I legit had no idea. That’s pretty cool.
Use wood pallets for the frame stuff them with expadi foam and use medal for the siding it works great
Matt has some skillz in the skid-steer... im very impressed
Put a jam nut on the breather stud and tighten it down against the top of the throttle body. That way the stud won't vibrate out again.
Looking at the land, all those cedar under the oak and all the dry stuff on the ground. Need to look at bringing someone out to do some prescribed burns. Get all the low level stuff cleaned out to allow some natural grasses and wild lands grow.
My first car was an old Pontiac, that same air filter bolt came lose and dropped straight down the carb barrel and stuck the throttle wide open! It was a crazy ride I had to turn off the key to stop it. After that I checked that wing nut weekly lol
Matt you can get headers for the 22R then pipe to a glasspack sounds good
Those Toyota 22R engines are virtually indestructible. The 5 speed transmissions behind them, not so. Had one in high school. Ran the hell out of it. Got it from a cousin with over 85,000 miles on it and put another 90,000 on it myself. Driving like an idiot. Replaced the transmission once and rebuilt it three times. Replaced the started, alternator, and fuel pump on the engine and that's it! Telling you, those 22R's are indestructible! Mine was an '84 model.
Def use 2x6s to frame it. Also treated wood. And enough slope and measure once cut twice lol! Good luck Matt.
i havent read any other comments,so here goes. A few ideas/questions i have #1 are you going to protect the goat pen with electric fencing(for protection towards predators and especially wild boars)?#2 How are you planning on protecting the goats from all of your deadly texan rattlesnakes?#3 Did you use blue lock-tite on your bolt used to fasten down the airfilter on your toyota repair job? I'm not meaning for any of these questions to be in any way to come across as being negative, i'm not trying to be one of those jerk off trolls, i litterally am just positively curious!!! i love all your content you bless us with, and congrats on your awesome job on the abandoned mansion wrap-up short movie, i was one of the many who watched it while it premiered, i loved every minute and was disapointed it wasnt twice as long,lol!!!
Wood posts will get chewed. Making it with steel posts & on a frame with skids would allow it to be moved easily. Make sure the roof is tall enough the goats cannot jump up onto it.
Fences will also need to be way better to keep goats in.
should make a path on other side of fence down to the shed. have it so dont even need to go in the gate to access shed to fill it with food/water
Matthew, @3:15ish, that was some FINE ITALIAN you were SPEAKING right there with your TEXAS HANDS. Lil bit of pointing over here & rolling over there & even some ROLL-POINTING hooked together thrown in for good measure!!!
When you build the barn put gutters on it to catch the rain and a tank to store the rain it will save alot of trips hauling water
You can use those large rocks in the goat enclosure to male like a play ground. Those will be perfect.
I built my goat pen out of pallets and extra 2by4/ for rafters plywood tar paper roof with tin roof on top with gutters to collect the rain water
Better put a dab of lock-tight on that bolt. You should build the shed away from the fence, goats love to climb and escape. Buying a wood shed from Orange or Blue home improvement would make it easier. Plus, you could put a watering trough along one end, outside. You are gonna hate having that gate right there, trying to turn every time. Might work better if you put it at an angle, at the corner. Have to adjust the poles a little. Definitely, gonna need to be lower and wider.
Do you still have your tipmann gatling or you cannon? Those would be fun with Kentucky mounting them on smaller atvs
Same advise as others, don’t put the goat shed near the fence. Plus remove all vegetation near the fence, goats can climb trees.
Goat barns in Sri Lanka are set up on poles. Then their waste falls down and they are protected from floods and moisture. Also, it is easy to clean.
A goat shed should be at least 3 sided to protect from wind and rain I build mine on skids so I can move it around.. don't build it next to a fence they will jump out I usually build a 6 x 10 shed about 4 ft tall and face the back towards the north to protect from cold ... Yes even in Tx ..put straw down " not hay " as a insulation barrier between the ground and the goats both from wet and cold
If you dig 8:00 deep enough you might hit a cavern! That could be cool. Ultimate Bunker!
Never seen you do a 500 Auto Max video.....make Scott bring his!
Mat ya probably already thought of this but ya have to keep in mind erosion the dirt will over time be pulled away from the barn unless ya put a long mound of dirt in front of it.
