The Perfect Goat Barn Setup - what you need to make keeping goats easier! 

lol so condescending

So it wasn't just me who was shocked by that comment!

It may be a little confusing but what the hey? I call my four kids "baby" as well as their names, and all the other animals - cats, dogs, donkeys and grown goats - "Kidz" or their names. Before I got goats, everybody got called "Kid" , my female dog is named "Bebe" - -

She’s a lamancha, those breeds don’t have ears

Monzai From what i can tell she's a lamancha, which is a breed that has very small "gopher" type ears :-)

What you say about the smell on the hay,you are dead wrong.

+Silas DeRoma No, the lamancha breed has small ears. hehe!

Thanks.

+Katherine Taylor All milk contains a certain level of lactose. However, the amount of lactose found in goat's milk is about 10 percent less than cow's milk and about 40 percent less than human milk. Goat's milk is a natural alternative to cow milk and can comfortably be consumed by many patients who suffer from cow milk allergies or sensitivity. Many people with lactose intolerance can drink goat milk.

+Kelly Khan she a LaMancha breed of goat. They have small ears

Ohhhh weird but cool lol

Two things I love about RU-vid. The comments section allows me to answer questions people have even after I make the video and upload it…. Connecticut and 4 goats. 2. Getting constructive criticism like this allows me to do better in the future. 😁

+Ajs Homestead Yes, the males that we don't plan on breeding get put in the freezer

+Guinea Pig Funtime go here --->www.thisishomesteady.com/head-west-become-pioneer/ :)

+Homesteady I will become pioneer real soon😉

Thanks! It helps us keep these going each week!

+Homesteady Could u do a how to raise goats this week or next week

+Homesteady what is your most favorite goat for milk

+iwantosavemoney yes! Auto waterers and feeders and even doors are great. As long as you check in on them, they can be a definite time saver.

Probably the most healthy place for a kid to grow up. They learn how to work and the importance of family.

@@bored.in.california2111 Animals also teach children how to be loving, empathetic, interaction with the world, and being in touch with them own selves. It is absolutely the healthiest place for a child to grow up! Good points on teaching work and family. Teamwork and skills too.

I am homeschooled and get alot more opportunities to travel

Thanks! Glad to help!

That's exactly what I was going to say. It looks like your a very nice guy and have adorable kiddos. Loved the video and appreciate the information. I just got 12 goats to eat down my pastures. Found out early on that isn't gonna work well because they spend all day climbing fences to nibble leaves or whatever. I've been struggling to find info on feeding them. Very informative..thank you!

bruh if i wee to travel somewhere or on a trip could i temporarily take the goats in a large bus

Precious family, great instruction and design. Thank you kindly. I appreciate and enjoyed very much.

Manchurian. Did I spot a Manchurian? So what do you think? A nice breed?

+What is Really Going On? Wow, nice! Thats a great size barn for your goats and pigs! Do you have the pigs already?

yes we got them as late pigs in the fall so they are two sisters about 11 months old and we got a intact boar in with them for about a month now and we seen them breed. so piglets are coming!

+What is Really Going On? WOw.. you guys are brave! We have not jumped into the Boar world yet! Nice work

Trying to be self sufficient and off grid is a big jump from life in town! LOL

Kathleen if hay gets wet, it can begin to decompose. This is what causes it to combust.

DaHamburgler...No that is not true. if hay is not properly cured/dried before it is baled it will sweat and the sweating process is what causes heat of high enough temperatures to start fires also this sweating can cause the hay to mold and rot. If the hay gets rained on after bailing it generally will only rot...however there are other conditions that will cause sweating/heat...if you stack new, fresh, properly dried, hay too tight in the barn especially in hot temperatures it can can cause the heating and sweating process......All new fresh hay MUST be loosly stacked to provide airflow to reduce the natural heat!!!! Never never NEVER stack fresh hay tightly!!! ALWAYS check your hay for mold because if your animals are not used to it, can become sick or die from eating moldy hay.!!! I have owned a farm and bailed hay and had horses, cows, pigs, chickens, other animals for many many years. I hope this helps someone.

+Homestead Handicraft She is a Lamancha. They have tiny ears!

zekehbu that’s just how that breed ears are it’s called lamancha. You can look them up.

Hay = Money!

+Always Kintyre Argyll not all breeds. Lamancha have small ears, like Litos

My condolences. Haha just kidding... have fun but make sure those fences are perfect 😉

Yes it has lactose. However, it's much less and many lactose intolerant people find they can drink it anyways just because it is digested so much faster. I'm allergic to protein compounds in cow milk, can't digest the fats, and am lactose intolerant (I know, fun combination), but I love goat's milk and have no issue with it.

+Steve Poynter Not sure what your asking, We have electricity run to the barn if thats what you mean.

Sorry lol. Comment went to wrong video

haha, that makes more sense!

+DadianSystemsLLC they are certainly good for that!

nvm XD

I found it adorable. You know there were subtitles so you could see what they were saying, right?

Who could be critical of children in a video about animal care? More interesting to most of us. You would have to be an old goat to complain.

Raymond Stefan no wonder you're single. If you don't like the kids then don't watch the video. I could show you hundreds of goat videos without kids in them, so why don't you go find some of them.

Agreed Jadyn Geez, there surely must be so old cranks in the world and they gather here. I should not insult the goats to call them old goats.

Raymond Stefan. Go back to school you can't spell
