Hi Doc, I'm currently studying medicine in the US, and I just wanted to say thank you for, not only inspiring, but also taking action to better this world. Your holistic approach is very dear to my heart, and I am thrilled to see role models like you live out such blessed work. Food is medicine. Good heart, good mind, God bless you.
@@FarmUp You may want to check out Greg Judy (regenerative farmer). He uses rotational grazing. The sheep or cows only stay on fresh grass for one day then he moves them the next day. He uses electric fence to contain them.
Thank you Dr Dan, I am a final year student doing animal science and thinking of starting my own farm after graduating. Your videos are very educative and inspiring. Keep on doing good,,,love from Zimbabwe❤❤❤
Good job dan! And since you have a lot of them i think you should consider grouping. It would be better for management. Besides preventing those bigass sheep from sucking the lambs' milk ofcourse. You can do it based on age or stage of production or anyway that is convenient to you.
I have already started the goat farming with 5 (1 male and 4 females). And already, I have grandchildren. I hoping to bring in 4 more goats tonight. Yes I also have a worker who likes to be half naked all the time
Get a new male and don’t use that male you have anymore trade or sell it but quarantine the new one before you put with the rest don’t want in breeding to much
@@Unruly6ixx I actually plan to use the same male to cross the same females. But the male will not be crossing his kids nor the kids their mother. I very much like the breed of my He goat, so I plan to get as much seed as possible from him
Hie Doc I having been following most of video on farming, tell you what! am thrilled and admire you my brother, you do not know how many people you are inspiring with your teachings, keep it up we love it and am busy trying to get land so that i can put in practice what i have learned from you. God bless you
Good job Dr Daniel.........just a simple one was advised recently on my farm by elders that it's not good/ advisable to keep the sheep together with the goats.....yes they have no problem feeding together at the farmland but after they should be separated ......it's not healthy for the goats
Not sure if there’s a goat equivalent, but for cows there’s a small plastic nose ring called a weaner ring that clips onto the nostril. It’s used when a calf or adult who’s been weaned still tries to nurse from other lactating cows
Nice video ❤️. Keep updating more videos about goat farming. For the goat house you better have a raise bed with wood or Bamboo flooring, that will keep the animals more disease free. Love from India ❤️
Good on Dr, like to hear from you the vaccination schedule. For the salt leak, I suggest use of blocks tied to prevent waste and contamination. Keep up the Good work
Doc. Dan, you're doing a good job. So impressed how you have metamorphose from poultry into sheep and goats. It will be better if you introduction dogs to your herds. Introduction of shepherd breeds of dogs, like the German shepherd or Caucasian shepherd dogs. They can take your herds out for grassing in the morning and bring them back home in the evening. They will also protect them from predators while on the field grassing.
Learn why people trust wikiHow DOG BREEDSDOG BREED IDENTIFICATION How to Identify a Caucasian Shepherd Dog Author Info Last Updated: March 29, 2021 The Caucasian Shepherd dog, also called the Caucasian Ovcharka, is a working dog from the Caucasus mountains.[1] They have been around since ancient times, working to guard dwellings, herds, and flocks from predators.[2] Caucasian Shepherds are thought to be part of the bloodline of many breeds throughout history, and thus, they share some similarities with other breeds of dog. This wikiHow will help you recognize traits of the Caucasian Shepherd breed so you can distinguish them more easily. Method 1 of 3: Identifying Structure 1 Consider the size of the dog. Caucasian Shepherds are among the largest of dog breeds, with a height of 23-30 inches (58-76 cm). They can weigh anywhere from 99 to 170 pounds (45 to 77 kg) when fully grown.[3] 2 Look closely at the dog's head. The head of a Caucasian Shepherd is massive and broad in the cheekbones with an almost flat forehead. When it is viewed from above, it resembles a broad-based wedge.[4] 3 Check the muzzle. Caucasian Shepherds have broad, deep muzzles that gradually taper toward the nose. The nose is large and black in color with open nostrils and a broad bridge. Caucasians have strong jaws, thick and close-fitting lips, and teeth that meet in a scissors or pincer (level) bite.[5] 4 Inspect the eyes. Caucasians have oval eyes of a moderate size. They are wide, obliquely placed, and not too deep set. The eyes may be any shade of brown from dark brown to a hazelnut color, with close-fitting black eyelids. The eyes give the dog an inquisitive yet attentive and serious expression.[6] 5 Take notice of the dog's ears. The ears of a Caucasian Shepherd are moderately sized and triangular. They are set high and wide and are thick, the inner part lying closely to the cheeks. The ears are traditionally cropped in their original country but may be natural.[7] 6 Find the tail. Caucasians have high-set tails that may be either sickle curved or curled. The tail hangs down and reaches the hocks in repose but may be carried above the backline when the dog is alert.[8] 7 Examine the paws. The front and back paws of a Caucasian Shepherd resemble one another. They are well-knit, well-arched, large, and rounded.[9] 8 Take the dog's overall build into account. Caucasian Shepherds appear large, strong, and harmoniously built, with powerful muscles and plenty of bone. They seem slightly rectangular in form. Caucasians are broad, well-muscled, and well-balanced, having strongly muscled shoulders, a broad chest, parallel forelegs, a straight back, and moderately wide hindquarters. They walk with an unhurried elastic gait.[10] Method 2 of 3: Checking the Coat 1 Observe the coat's appearance and texture. Caucasian Shepherds have straight and coarse coats that stand off, with a well-developed undercoat. The head and forelegs are covered in a shorter, thicker coat, while the tail is covered with a dense coat, appearing furry and thick. The coat forms brushes on the ears, a mane around the neck, and trousers on the backs of the thighs. The length of the guard and undercoats combined does not reach less than 5 cm (2.0 in).[11] 2 Note the condition of the skin. The skin of a Caucasian Shepherd is thick and sufficiently elastic. It does not contain any wrinkles or folds.[12] 3 Look at the coat color. Caucasian Shepherds may be seen with a solid colored, piebald, or spotted colored coat. This includes diluted black, black in any combination, blue, or liver brown. Caucasian Shepherds may be any solid color excluding black.[13] Method 3 of 3: Being Watchful of Temperament 1 Look for protective traits. Caucasian Shepherds live up to their intimidating appearance. They are known to be fierce and protective when a potential threat presents itself. Their protective personality may lead to frequent barking and distrust toward strangers.[14] Did you know? Caucasian Shepherds were bred for many traits that made them superb guardians, including self-confid

Love your new farm. Its growing every week. We are watching you grow. Its lovely. Interesting findings that the sheep are damner than the goats 🤣🤣🤣 now we know. Wishing you success in your animal farming 🤩🤩🤩
Greetings. I watch your videos everyday, especially those about Poultry. I love what you doing and I would like to reach your level some day. Thank you for inspiring me everyday 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Dr.Danny, Happy Sunday to you. How is BINGO doing?🐒🐒Wanted to know how you manage running the Farm. You have too many things going on at the Farm. Much love to you from Canada.
I request for more videos of goat farming coz am a goat farmer but nevertheless, I also enjoy chicken farming and others that u do. Question. Besides pastures, what do u u feed them on???. In case it's a rainy day??? Thanks Dr.
Just imagine if these were Dorper breed sheep? The returns would be several times more, considering their weights and fast growth. Perhaps you may want to consider Dorpers, am sure they will thrive well in that environment
Hi doc, I am starting a sheep and goat farm. But I have a problem that the lambs are dying. First they bent their neck and loss their balance. Then they can't stand and eat. I took them to animal clinics but can't get solution. Please can you give me hint for the solution? Thank you!
Hi Dr. Daniel, thanks for the educative videos, my question is that supposing I have 10 female goats which are all local breeds and I would love to improve upon my breeds but I am financially constrained to buy an exotic or cross breed male, would it be okay to just hire a male of better breed to come and Mate with my local goats when the time for mating comes?
Hey Doc. I have a question pls. For a person to supply shops ( registered brands) like Spar, shoprite, and so for with chicken and lambs, should one own or have food license?
