It's easier than some, but can still be time consuming when mowing paths. I do like how versatile it is going around places where a hard fence would not be an option. Thanks for dropping by, appreciate ya!

Awesome video, as usual. We thank you for sharing with us; you sure have a nice heard of goats. That helper you have is on the ball. I never realized how much help even a dog can be of handing thing you need without making a lot of extra steps. Don’t over do it in the heat.

Hi Carolyn! I try to do my best to show what we do here, it doesn't work for everyone but might be a foundation to work with for your own farm. If there is ever anything in particular you would like to see that we do here at the farm and might help out you or your Grandpa, give a holler! I'll put it on video if I can. Thanks for watching!

We run this fence, super easy to use! We've used t posts with pvc pipes over them to pull the fence tight.

Wow really nice job, Premier 1 makes it so much easier, you poor guys look really hot though, hope it cools down some for you. TFS

Hey! I'm new to your channel. I've heard Arm's family homestead mention you a time or two. Then keepin' it Dutch. So I had to check out your channel. Can't wait to be on your journey of life with y'all. I love how you have that youngster out there helpin' you. My grandson is my helper. He's 10. Helps out this Nanna a lot with our 4 goat herd. We just started last yr.. I've been learning from Daniel on Arm's. I look forward to continue learning from you as well. Dutch is pretty awesome to. Thank you for showing some tricks with the Premier 1 fencing. Maybe I'll try it again some day.

Beginner here, looking to purchase Kinko Goats for Brush clearing on my farm. Ive bought 3 rows of the Premiere electric net, but ive had a couple goat farmers tell me its too risky! And they will either get out or get caught up. And since I dont live on the farm, I can only check on the goats 4 days out of the week. I understand nothing is guaranteed and the goats will need to be trainer. Needing some reassurance from someone who owns it and knows.

@StoneyCreekHeritageFarm

Thanks for watching! The only risk would be if you didn't set the charger up correctly with proper grounds or the power failed while you were away. Power failure is always my biggest concern. As long as the fence is properly energized, I promise those goats won't touch it twice. For the record, since this video has come out, I fence off 3 to 5 acre paddocks with it now as we rotate the herd. Good luck with your project and hope the kikos do you a great job!

Is that just pvc you use to sleeve the t post? What brand of t post puller do you use? Had one once, broke after about 8 posts.

@StoneyCreekHeritageFarm

5 жыл бұрын

Howdy! Yep, I just use 2"pvc pipe to cover the t-post. I like using that when I'm making sharp corners like 90 degrees so stress won't be on the fence and help hold tight or attaching to something I don't want to ground out. Not sure of the brand name of the puller. I bought it at a local Tractor Supply Company (TSC). So far it's worked great and lasted awhile. I've had it a couple years now. Thanks for watching!

I have the similar small tree branches growing in my pasture that you do, just curious if you knew what they were? I was trying to get rid of them for the goats in the spring

Hi I have a question concerning Kiko breeding because when we breed all our does our boer and kiko boers to our boer buck all of them will be 10 months old except for a 1 year old pair of twins and some baby's we got from market, all of them are currently around 80 pounds would it be alright to actually breed our heard in September for February babies for fair? Were still new to boer goats they're a lot different from alpines

@StoneyCreekHeritageFarm

5 жыл бұрын

Awesome question! I personally like to wait until a doe is 18 months old to breed the first time and then she has kids when she is two. I feel as though a doe is still growing until 2 and if she is re-purposing nutrients for kids she is carrying, it is taking away from her own body and could stunt her growth, have lower than average birth weights, and/or even abort the kids. There are many folks that swear if the doe is at least 80lbs, go ahead and breed, I just don't fall into that school of thought. Not sure if that was much help, wish you the best in whatever you choose. Thanks for taking the time to comment and stopping by my channel, appreciate ya!

I used to spend my time watching the Full-time RV vlogs.. Then I saw a homestead vlog. It made more sense. Growing natural, eating chemical free makes more sense then spewing gas fumes everywhere. But, I do have a question. What is the difference in a farm and a homestead. Way back in the day , a homestead was some place you parked your wagon and stayed till they called it yours.

@StoneyCreekHeritageFarm

5 жыл бұрын

You know, that's a great question and depending on who you ask, the answers can be as varied as there are grasses in the field. I would think most would agree a homestead would be a small parcel of land that the owners (or tenants if renting) are trying to live a self sufficient, sustainability lifestyle; trying to grow their own food food, both with livestock and gardens and be self sufficient. Whereas a small acreage farm (where I feel this is where my family and I fit in), not to be confused with corporate agriculture activities on 100s or 1000s of acres, would also hold to the self sufficient lifestyle choices, but in addition would be a "for profit" enterprise, purposefully growing and raising more than the immediate family could consume and selling excess produce and livestock for profit or income. I think in both cases, homesteading or small acreage farming, both are more in-tuned with the land and have more of an environmental conscience trying to leave the small part of the world we stewards of a better place for generations to come. Raising animals more humanly, growing gardens more responsibly by using less chemicals that would be impact our own lives as well as the environmental ecosystems and not overworking the soil or exceeding the carrying capacity of the land for the animals pasture raised. This is my view of how things work anyway. Thanks for asking and great question, stopping by and watching! Appreciate ya!
