Your goats have gorgeous colors. You take very good care of them. You don't see other people taking the care of their goats like you do. I applaud you.

I laughed out loud when I realised the Goat was basically ‘in the stocks’ for milking 😂very clever.

Such a simplistic video, no expensive frills and fancies, very well explained, thank you sooo much. 👏🏻🐢

Gosh, I really enjoy your videos. The more I watch, the more I believe I can have my own homestead. Thank you so much for doing what you do, and promoting this lifestyle. You really are changing lives.

The lack of talking draws you in and holds your attention, where other videos i find myself zoning out after 10 minutes of overexplaining... thank you!

Goat milk is so refreshing! I have a la' mancha goat named phylis and is so creamy. My kids always look forward to a warm glass of milk in the morning. I use a triple layer of cheese cloth to filter my milk.

So happy you guys asked us to be a part of this!!! You guys ROCK

Nice! Wow! 6:15am every day! I did not know how much work was involved! 👏

This looks like a lot of work, yet vary rewarding... I REALLY want goats

I have always wanted to live such a life, It looks peaceful and quite, And it's amazing that you take good care of those animals.. Thank you! I was just searching for a gluten free cereal recipe, and couldn't help but to see what it's like to live away from a crowded town. Goodluck!☺

No reason you can't have the life you want. It may take some time, but you can get there. Just start doing what you can where you are at (financial and skill-wise) and make sure any big moves you make are all ones that take you towards your goal, not away from it. That is what we did and if we can do it, so can anyone ;0) Good luck!

You are well organized yet flexible & it's clear you enjoy the tasks. Educating others is truly a strength & others benefit. You guys are the guru of videography - excellent filming and editing :)) Such fun to watch and learn

Wow that goats produces a lot of milk thats the first I’ve seen on any videos I binge watch on goats recently. Awesome

salt block might increase water consumption & in turn increase milk production. maybe.

It's obvious your goats love you, as well as your chicken's. When will your family grow again ? You are such a great example of how to take good care of your animals.

lol when the herd first started (9) I could tell their difference voices too. I'd mention this casually to non goat ppl and they'd look funny at me. Now that there are over 50. I still have a few VOCAL goats that you can definitely hear. It's funny how her new little baby girl has that same voice. They can be way out in the middle of a field and cry out when I come out.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this!

Redmond salt is a great mineral salt to offer free choice for livestock, plus you can get it in blocks if that's more convenient. Another overlooked seed crop to boost protein is pea seeds, at 24% protein. You can even do a sprouted pea seed anywhere from just a 24 hour soak, on up to 7 days as you would with any sprouts or sprouted fodder feeding system. Even your barley would go much further if you did a seven day sprout, and it would provide more active phyto nutrients.

+DIY Gardener I heard some good things about Redmond. I may try that. As for the peas, there is some controversial issues with feeding some legumes to goats. Especially in excess. Probably something we will avoid for now. Thanks for the tips

@diygardener4556

Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living - Yeah a balanced diet is always essential for animal health, so excess of anything can be detrimental especially legumes. Anytime your transitioning feeds stuffs in a ruminate animal, you definitely need to make a slow transition so the rumen bacteria can adjust to the changes in feed stuff like pH. The transition should take place slowly over a minimum of 3 weeks. Many ruminate animals can get serious bloat from excessive legume consumption, especially if they're eating things like wet clover forage in the feilds; however, seeded at 40% max legumes even a feild that's wet with rain is safe for cattle one of the more sensitive ruminates to bloat from one of the more bloating legumes like white clover. If you are thinking about eventually switching feeds, talk with an extension expert, or someone who is accredited in animal science specializing in goats. As the calcium rich nature of clovers, alfalfa and other legume hay is very helpful to lactating dairy animals, and balances out well with the low calcium high phosphorus content in grain to optimize overall health :) Food for thought!

We have two alpines. Izzy and Joon the one boar named Bud and a little cross doe named n M indy. Loved you video. We love our goat famiy

This was very informative. I am still deciding on goats. We have time, just getting ready to sell after the holidays

I also milk into a glass jar. Usually a milk bottle. I like the smaller opening to keep hair and debris out. We chill it right away in a small bucket of ice water and place that in the fridge or freezer. The ice water cools the milk down quicker. By doing that and covering the bottle as soon as you are done milking, like you do, you eliminate the goaty taste of the milk.

Thank you, i wish i had that much land , i would defiantly have goats, still it helped me alot, and you really showed everything so well bravo.

nice to see you spend time with your goats. The worm is "barber's pole" worm Haemonchus contortus. Fecal egg count will help let you know if they are affected. Inside the eye lid color will also give you clues. We are able to get cervicia lespedcia hay, pellets might be bitter. Alfalfa will increase milk production, we can also get 20% protein alfalfa here. Alfalfa pellets may be a way to get away from so much grain. something to consider. Also we copper bolus at least twice a year.

I love chickens ,dont have any now, miss them. Love goats id like some for my 6 acres. I had no idea they took so much care. Yours look really good. I love it

Great video. Very informative ✌

I would attach a metal plate in a horizontal position to the gate on the inside side of the "pen area" and attach a large magnet to the fence post so when you go into the pen you can just push the gate closed and it will stop and "latch", would make securing it easier. Just a thought.

Loved this, you have a great routine and your goats are really settling in. I'd love it if you guys would do a segment on your clothesline. I have seen it in other videos you've done. I'd like to make a similar one. I want something very sturdy I can tighten the ropes on so they don't sag, and yours looks great.

great video thanks for sharing.

great goat vid thank for sharing

Oh my gosh you guys are doing such a great job with the goats and you've only had them a few months... that's awesome! We still need to get Pat Colby's book cause we're sure our goats are struggling with copper deficiency. I'm interested in your mineral supplement that you've mixed up. Any chance you'll be making a video on that? I know you gave the ratios but i'd be interested in how you came up with those ingredients and why (since we don't have the book). Thank you so much for including us in this collaboration... we are learning lots and we want to do what's best for our goats and situation. You guys are awesome!!!!

+Chick-a-Woof Ranch The general formula is Pats, but I changed up the sulfur based on our soil test results. The key is to make sure you are giving dolomite to offset any chances of copper poisoning.

You answered so many of my questions as the video went on. I love how informative your videos are! :) Your goats are so sweet. Have you noticed a decrease in your eggs with this heat, too? I'm in VA, right on the NC line, and one chicken has gone broody and the other hasn't been laying often. But both increased production on the cooler days we had recently! This is only my second summer with them (they started laying mid-summer last year and were very consistent).

@Guildbrookfarm

7 жыл бұрын

+Rebecca P. - We did have a week in May right after we moved the chickens to the new coop where they quit laying. They are back to normal now at about 2 dozen per week from the 5 layers. Haven't seen a decrease yet from the heat but it's just now starting to hit the 90's so we'll see what happens.

I live really remote and all those nice goodies are not for sale here. Apple cider vinegar yes and baking soda yes, but other than that just general goat feed. We have 4 nubians, but they are healthy on general feed.

Hey, great video! :) I'm a new subscriber (from Weeki Wachee, Florida) and found y'all through Appalachia's Homestead with Patara. She gave a list of everyone's link to the collaboration on daily goat care. I grew up with three goats, however my mom and dad were really the ones who cared for all their needs. So as an adult I have longed to go back to my roots as a country girl for many years now. Part of that dream is to own milking goats and a few other animals but all on a small scale probably similar to what you have... maybe 2 acres. Anyway I've been researching and learning via books and youtube so I appreciate this video on daily care. I'm getting a variety of ways to possibly implement care by watching every video so thanks for sharing!

I probably shouldn't have.....ahem......but, my tats were done using the ends of bass guitar strings....the ends that get pulled through the tuning pegs. They turned out pretty good, the dude was both a talented bass player and tat artist. I say WAS...because, he had a heart attack and passed away....before my tramp stamp on my lower back was finished. That was sad. I do love her tats tho, makes me want to get more.

I wish you would talk through the process and explain what is in everything, how much, and in order of process (vitamins, minerals, and any other additives....) :-/ .

GREAT video Jaime!! You're routine is smooth and amazing!! Your girls are looking wonderful. Is your barley steamed or rolled or?? And what type of hay do you feed? I loved your video!!

@Guildbrookfarm

7 жыл бұрын

The barley is from a feed mill. I believe it is just plain ol' whole/hulled barley. This is just a test to see how they do on it. So far so good. The hay is from the same farm we bought the goats from. They use a custom mixed pasture grass. I am not sure what all is in it or the ratios (rye and alfalfa are two). I didn't cover the details of the hay in the video because I am not sure what all is in it, but it is a mixture. I probably should find that out because I tried a different hay before and they wouldn't eat it. They are particular to this one!

Would you be able to provide that list of ingredients on the goat feed mix? It was written on top of the container but I couldn’t get a clear shot of it.

can you grow much of what she needs like barley? thank you for this educational video. Love your family

@10:00 yeah you have awesome hand eye coordination! I thought, "You go girl!" when I saw you were going to milk into that narrow mouth jar!😉

First of all, I must tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I get notifications when you upload so I don't miss anything. I mean no disrespect, this is your KZread channel and you can do what you think is best. However, I can't stand the music. The natural sound is much better then the distraction of the music in the background. Please remember, I mean no disrespect and its only one old mans opinion. The best to you and your family.

Where do you buy bulk feed? I’m just grass grazing and moving pasture every other day and so far so good. I cut ahead for winter for food and bedding and keep them clean.
