Here are a few things that I believe are essential to know before you start getting into goats. Goats are an awesome animal to get you started into the homesteading/small farm world.

WARNING: Don't park you car under a tree with low hanging branches when there are goats. They'll climb on the car's roof to get to the leaves. Goat hooves & car bodies don't get along.

@refusoagaino6824 5 лет назад

As a kid I visited and lived on a few farms, enough to understand that some animals get slaughtered. When you're young and it's business you learn to accept it, but as you grow older and begin to understand life, the concept becomes impossible. I could 'snuff' a few people and not be bothered. People who have overstepped their usefulness. But innocent animals are off limits, to the extent that nature allows, when invoking natural selection. Even that is harder to understand now that I actually think about it, and don't just repeat the lessons of others.

@naomimay82 5 лет назад

I don’t eat meat either. When I was a kid, we raised animals and slaughtered them. I just can’t do it anymore! I was fine with meat until age 36! I am not sure what changed then, but something just clicked and I couldn’t bear the idea of an animal suffering and dying so I could eat, when it is so easy to become vegan. I am healthier now because of it.

@timothyblazer1749 4 года назад

@@naomimay82 some people can become vegetarian, and some cannot. I am A practicing Buddhist who was a vegetarian for nearly 10 years. When I was 34, I started declining and I could not figure out why. I did everything I was supposed to, and went to a number of nutritionists. In the and, a naturopath asked me to try eating red meat for awhile to see if that solved my health issues. It did. I had to come to terms with the fact that I could not be healthy without red meat. I spent years looking into this, only to discover that most food recommendations made by various organizations are politically or financially motivated. Now, I am determined to easy humanely produced meat, and am working on a plan to produce my own eggs, milk and meat while caring for the animals very well.

When I was in art school we had to fill sketch books. We were expected to draw every day. While sketching goats at a petting zoo they grabbed my almost full book and destroyed it.

@royhoco5748 5 лет назад

a goat was given to me a few years ago, an old ornery hard headed billy. I put him in two acres of overgrown property. He did a wonderful job of eating the weeds, briars, honeysuckles etc. He was entertaining, comical and first cousin to Houdini. He had a knack for escaping. No matter the weather he wanted to be in the scrub on my two acres. He was happy down in that overgrown area. A sleet and freezing rain storm rolled in so I went down got the goat and brought him to the barn and put him in a stall. Next morning I went to check on the goat and he was not there but he had butted 3 boards off the side of the barn and he was outside covered in sleet and ice eating honeysuckles. His head was harder than concrete and he loved to be smacked with a broom or board. He would back up, then raise up on hind legs and come forward then drop down and run to be smacked, over and over. Numerous times he snuck up behind and head butted me in the rear end. I also had 3 dogs and he loved to play with those dogs. That old goat was quite the character.

My boss had goats at the shop where I worked (small farm). I paid attention to one in particular as they ran the property unfenced. This one, in particular, recognized my truck when I pulled onto the property as she would run to me or call out to me if she was fenced. I always made it a point to give her some attention at these times. Wish I could have a pair in the city where I live.

Goats will find a hole or make one. I use 39 inch woven wire, bob wire on top and two runs of electric but if a cloudy day and the chargers down, they can tell and look for holes. Dogs are great I have two aussies and every time the phone rings, I'm watching a vlog, or taking a picture, they have to be in it. Have a great day. Enjoyed your vlog. picture.

I would love to see a series on how to raise goats from you guys! That would be great because I know that it would be an excellent source for the truth about raising goats. We once owned a pet goat named NaNa. That is what she was always saying, so we named her NaNa! She was precious. However we did not know that we had coyotes in North Carolina. One day when I was in my office our little Pomeranian house dog went berserk barking toward the barn like crazy. There in the barnyard two eastern red wolf/coyote mix were killing our little NaNa. At the time I did not know how to shoot a gun. Needless to say now I do know how to shoot a gun. When we look back it is amazing that she was able to live for 3 years there at the barn and survive at all. I know that they had been after her for some time, but I just did not realize it when it was happening until I saw them with my own eyes. Knowing what you all know about raising goats would be such a wonderful way to learn the ropes about what all it takes to raise them safely. Hope to see the Raising Goats Series soon! Journey On!

We started with meat chickens then got small dual-purpose cattle (primarily for meat). We added egg layers, got more serious about our primary cattle being for milk while they give us the calves as future freezer-fillers. Goats for milk and pigs for meat and garden tillers are next on our list. We already have an LGD and can't wait to get him a female in the next year or two.
