I went from one bred doe Nigerian dwarf to a total of 26 Nigerian dwarf and 9 boers in 6 months! Goats are the greatest and have the best personalities ever. Love your vlogs, thank you for sharing.
After years of raising fowl & rabbits, we dove into goats. We just had two does born this week with a very easy birth. My sons loved the experience & we already planning to expand. Awesome channel, thank you
@@moonrockpygmies I definitely see how that would be tough. It’s a hassle enough to shoo poultry from digging up our mulch and eating our fruits and vegetables 😂
I just got 2 baby Nigerian dwarfs. They are the most loving and awesome creatures. I have ever met. I've only had them 3 weeks and all I have to is call them and they come running!
@dejLoaf22 I actually have them in my yard. I'm working on building them a shelter. Make sure they have their cdt shots. They are alot of fun. Sweetest animals I have ever seen!
My goodness what a bunch of beautiful goats I love goats in my school we take care of some to and I love spending time with them. They are such a lovely animal to hang around with. They’re my favorite animal. I love them.
I'm thinking to raise goats, but never for meat. Thank you for this video, you show me I have so much to learn. In Brazil we have a tropical weather and because of this, too many diseases and parasites.
Thank you for the informative video! We just bought a 40 acre farm and the farmer is leaving their goats behind. This video reduces anxiety of care taking.
This video was so informative! I’ve read numerous books and watched countless videos and this video was exactly the kind of information I was looking for! I could listen to you talk about goats all day! I want to get into Nubians or Nigerian dwarfs for their milk but I was really confused on how we would keep them in milk without accumulating a ton of goats or buckling at that since we don’t really want a territorial buck around please post more videos like this!!
Aww, thank you for such kind comments! I'm so glad it was helpful. Soon I'll be making a video about renting a buck, as we get ready to try that with our girls soon.
My wife advises to find someone close that already works and knows goats. A mentor basically. The next is a vet that knows goats. She and the daughters have been raising them for over ten years. She tells people that she stills learns something new every year. They have Nigerians, Alpines, and Kikos.
I tell people the same thing all the time! A goat mentor can be invaluable. I'm always learning new stuff about goats too, there is so much they can teach us.
Such a helpful video! My fiancé definitely doesn’t want a dairy cow, but is open to dairy goats, which I’ve never considered, so I’m doing research. Your Nubians are lovely, and those babies!!!! 💗💗
@@YouCanFarmWhere at are you located in North Carolina? I am located in North Carolina to, idk if y'all allow people to come by but if so I'd love to learn more about goats if y'all do. We are looking to have goats. I am more hands on an never even milked a goat.
Love to see your video, you are inspiration of many females around, love to see your animals and your intrested and knowledge is very good stay blessed 😊😊😊
I got a question, my dad has fake grass in the ground in the backyard would if affect them in any way , and we have a pool do we have to close it just in case they fall in?
Yes, you definitely would want to fence off access to the pool. I have heard awful stories of baby goats falling in pools. I'm not sure about the fake grass, but I would be worried that they would try to eat it and probably destroy it.
I just can't believe how casually she switches back and forth between saying how affectionate and sociable they are, and referring to them as a source of meat. I was so impacted that, when I saw the man with her in the thumbnail I thought, "Is she going to do the same to him when the time comes?"
Many goats are raised for meat, it s one of the primary reasons they are kept around the world. We are running a business, and meat is one of the main products we provide for our customers. I believe all my animals are deserving of the same love and respect, whether they are intended to live out their days on the farm as breeding stock, or destined to be meat one day. I can't keep them all as pets, and only a fraction of the livestock produced should go on to be breeders. I was just being realistic and honest.
@@YouCanFarm Thanks for replying. It's just a different take on life and the world. I wasn't saying you should ignore them or mistreat them on top of slaughtering them (directly or indirectly). It just baffles me how someone can willingly cause the death of a person or animal they have been loving on, whose feelings and personality they recognize and interact with. If my neighbor admitted to being a serial killer or a cannibal, his honesty and realism about it when he talks to me wouldn't add or subtract anything from the fact. Same goes for the fact that a lot of people treat animals as a source of food in this era of plenty. It's a fact of our society, but it still says horrible things about humanity. Still, what you do is way, way better than factory farms. We all have to live with ourselves. I am the same as you, growing my flowers and vegetables with care, and then killing them and rationalizing it. Still, I have to live of something, and plucking a tomato is not killing a plant. Plants want nothing more than their fruits to be spread along with the seed. Also, you can't compare the intensity of feelings and emotions plants have compared to animals.
That's fair, and I agree we probably have very different perspectives on life, food and the world. I was a vegetarian for over a decade because of my love for animals, but eventually shifted to advocating and devoting my life to raising them in a better way instead. I don't see a place in the world for many domesticated species without our care and management of them for food, and humans have evolved to thrive on the consumption of the meat they provide. Nature for all it's beauty is a ruthlessly brutal, and there's really no peaceful death in the wild. We raise these animals in safety and comfort, where they don't have to worry about predation, starvation, or exposure to the elements. Some of them are harvested as humanely as possible in order to nourish us in return for our stewardship, and we appreciate their sacrifice so that we can continue to provide a better life for the rest.
The portable net fencing we used is electrified, so that helps protect the goats and sheep. We sell the meat by the retail cut at local farmers markets, and we do have to have it processed in a USDA or state inspected facility.
It's hard to say without looking at exactly what plants are out there, but generally if they can reach it and it's edible, a few full sized goats could get through that in 3-6 months. A larger herd would be more efficient because they would compete for forage, whereas just a few with an abundance to eat might be very lazy about it.
Honestly I'm not really sure. I've raised ones that were handled a lot as babies, and they were too friendly as adults, always wanting to rub up on me. I actually preferred the attitude of my last buck, who was not handled at all before I got him and was fearful of me. He kept his distance and I much preferred that.
No, we move them to a permanent area with access to a barn during the winter. We don't get snow very often, but we do get freezing rain which can be dangerous for animals to be out in.
Definitely! Properly managed grazing with any ruminant species is beneficial to the health of the soil. Our goats are more focused on wooded areas, and where they clear heavy overgrowth we see more native grasses popping up later.
Hey Julie, how do your ewe crosses do with milk production? I plan to have Nubians for milking to produce butter and various cheeses. The wethers will be raised with our sheep until its time to process them (18 months or so).
This was great. Do you have, or can you make a video that goes further in depth about the training methods you use? It would really help me out. I have two little boys and they are mostly good, but are becoming more rebellious about returning to their paddock after we walk around browsing other areas. Am trying to teach them their names, and to come to me. But they only do it for a treat, not for pets. Thank you so much.
@@YouCanFarm That would be AWESOME. My boys also don't like to go to bed. We have to lock them up for safety, and they have a very clean and lovely place to sleep............thank you so much!!!!!!
@@joep2796 You'll only need to bribe them until you establish the habit. Carry food at first, and have more waiting for them somewhere inside their pen. Once it's clear they know the pen food is waiting for them, you can stop carrying it. Six months after they start looking forward to coming home, you won't need the food anymore. It's hard to know why your boys don't want to go into a structure at night. It might be worth putting a camera in there, see if you can sort out if something is making them uncomfortable. I had that problem too, and it turned out that my head goat was beating up on everybody. I made a couple more food troughs and built a small platform that she claimed. Now she stays busy protecting her food and her place, and anybody who doesn't want a fight just stays away from those things.
Such an awesome video. Getting my first goats in the spring. I heard you say not to get a buck right off the bat but I’m a little thick headed and am getting a buck and either 1 or 2 females can I keep the buck right next to the females with a 6 foot goat fence as a divider:
Congratulations! You certainly don't need to listen to my advise, lol. You do it your way and I bet things work out great! You might consider getting a buddy wether (castrated male) to hang out with your buck and keep him happier. My friends had their buck alone, separated by an 8-foot fence, and he jumped it several times and killed 4 out of 8 of his own kids before they sold him. Not typical, but it happens.
We have 4 acres that we want to have managed as far as brush and hay. We have a lot of hay. We don’t have a fence so we need to do that. Maine is cold what do they need for shelter? We have a friend who wants to give us 3 as she has too many.
For shelter they just need a place to stay dry and out of the wind, with some good bedding to sleep in. A simple 3-sided structure with a roof would be sufficient.
If you are looking for small and friendly, Nigerian Dwarfs are very popular. But a smaller goat won't be able to carry as much on a pack as a full size goat. I believe Alpines are popular pack goats.
We use an older model solar charger from Premier1 Supplies that they don't make anymore. I've heard their newer ones are not as good. I think Gallagher has a better reputation lately, but I haven't tried them myself. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
They do alright together. If your goats have horns and the lambs do not, the goats will bully them out of the best grass or food. Also they have different nutritional and mineral needs, so it can be tricky to optimize for both.
in Pakistan there are 20+ goat breed, some famous are Beetal, makhi chini, barbari, rajunpori, kamori, pateri, gulabi , tapri, ddp, pahari . type " goat " to every breed name while search on the youtube
My wife came home with a goat. Thanks for helping me figure it out.
Hope it works out!

Remember goats are herd animals. A single one can feel alone and
go into depression. Get another one or two so they can keep each other
company.

Is it a bad idea to have goats in a fenced in lagoon area? Just for keeping vegetation down.
Yes, I wouldn't recommend it. Goats hate standing on wet ground, and it can cause hoof rot.
Great video!! Do you any electric fencing to fend off coyotes from the goat/sheep? How do you sell the meat? Does one need USDA approval?
The portable net fencing we used is electrified, so that helps protect the goats and sheep. We sell the meat by the retail cut at local farmers markets, and we do have to have it processed in a USDA or state inspected facility.
Ive got 5 acres, fenced in. 80% forest fairly thick to alot of dogweed. If i got 2 or 3 how fast would they eat it all?
It's hard to say without looking at exactly what plants are out there, but generally if they can reach it and it's edible, a few full sized goats could get through that in 3-6 months. A larger herd would be more efficient because they would compete for forage, whereas just a few with an abundance to eat might be very lazy about it.

If you are looking for small and friendly, Nigerian Dwarfs are very popular. But a smaller goat won't be able to carry as much on a pack as a full size goat. I believe Alpines are popular pack goats.

May I ask how do you cull the meat goats? Do you take them to a processing place or do you do it yourselves?
We take them to a USDA inspected processing facility to have them done.
