Pigs don't have hide?

Hey guys congrats on your new kids! ❤ We’ve followed you for a few years now after my parents introduced me to your channel back when you were sailing. You’ve actually met my Dad Stephen, he took you flying up around K’gari (Fraser Island) a few years back. I have a Boer goat stud and have been farming our small farm (130acres) in the snowy Mountains for the past 13 years, we aren’t from a farming background and started out similar to you really, watching you is like watching a rerun of our own journey to a fair degree, it’s great. Our 2 girls were towards the end of primary school when we moved to our property Patanga. I have always had a love of the land and nature growing up on small acreage surrounded by bush on the south coast. When people ask I always say I grew up a bush kid not a farm kid, spending most of my time riding my horses and observing nature, and raising or nursing any little critter that needed a helping hand (not much has changed really I still have a wombat in care that I’ve raised since he was around 6 months old, rescued from his dead mother’s pouch after she’d been hit by a car days earlier. It will be 2 years this August that I picked him up, He’s over 20kg now had all really started his transition back to the wild but after a run-in with a wild wombat- he likely was an uninvited visitor In its burrow, ended up being chopped, wounded and subsequently ended up a horrible infection and had to come back into care until he’s all healed up and can be re-released). We move to our property because I wanted my kids to grow up with the land with space around them, and all the life lessons and experiences living on acreage offers. Anyway I just wanted to offer my knowledge and experience anytime you need it, I have raised pigs, cattle sheep not just on my own property but have also spent years working on larger stations in our area . l have been farming goats for many years now, it was a very steep learning curve as I’m sure you can appreciate. After all we’ve been through over the years I’m always happy to help those new to the world of small farming and goat husbandry. It is a wonderfully, beautiful and at times challenging, stressful and heartbreaking journey, but so worth the upset and downs. We’re kidded down around a 1000 kids in the past few years, hundreds of pigs and thousands of cattle and sheep between my work on and of my own property so I’ve learned a lot and am happy to pass on any knowledge that could help you out. Please feel free to ring or text message me anytime night or day (believe me I know how animals have a unique ability to have a injury or illness or some sort of vet worthy problem in the middle of the night and always on public holidays! When you choose this life you learn to ware many hats, midwife and vet are some skills that you pick up as you go especially living in remote areas where you don’t always have the option of assistance when you need it most, you learn to be very resourceful, something you guys are well accustomed to with your previous life on the water. Any how, I’m only a phone call away if you need☺️ Can’t wait to see you next video Kind Regards Jaime Contact me anytime on 0407713202 (phone service is pretty crap (thanks Telstra) so if I don’t pick up, please leave a message and make sure you send me a text message I always get them eventually😊

Even with how great of a farm it was from the start, 3 years to do all that is basically unheard of. This is amazing

We have been building our syntropic forest in North Florida for almost 5 yrs now. We pull our chicken trackers along the grass paths between the trees. Very beneficial. We added rabbits to the homestead this year. Can't wait to see the benefits of their fertilizer ❤

So envious of your lifestyle. Wow!

Templates are what makes top flight woodworkers top flight woodworkers!!

Thanks

Dotty surprises. Some worrying days. Crisis seems over. Gaining more experience and confidence. Four new goats.

Great that you care for your animals so well but there's a lot of anxiety going here and stress on the mum. Too many other animals and human stress in her pen. She's just gone through a very stressful event and wants a quiet safe protected space for her kids. Give her some space, normal food and less pressure....

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Love the journey you are on with all your babies. Hoping all has settled down now and all are well. Hugs from a goat lover!!

Great video

Your goats behaviour of pawing often indicates pain. Couldn’t really tell from the video but at one point there was hanging placenta and another bubble. Did you put your hand inside of her as it looks like she may have another kid in her. It could be a malpresentation and if it’s dead it will be difficult for her to push it out! Goats are pretty resilient and like most ruminants retained placenta is not life threatening as they will clean eventually, but it may impact future breeding. Not sure if your vet came and checked her out but I would check her out internally. Good luck

Who needs a lawn mower when you have goats!

Thank you for another fantastic video. I love the sincerity in your videos. You show the good and the bad. I am creating a hobby farm and find the information and experience you share very useful.

The number of subscribers have really increased from the old days of sailing, how nice

Delightful episode. Lovely healthy little kids. I hope mum does alright. I used to have a few goats but I don't actually like milk, especially goats milk ,so there wasn't much point in the end. Cheers

Thanks!

A handful of fresh basil steeped in hot water when chugged after giving birth will release a retained placenta in humans…. And therefore possibly goats??? Just a thought

Congrats on the new baby goats and I hope everything works out great and no infections or other complications occur. A little something I discovered over the years...........Sometimes livestock become pets and sometimes pets become family. I could see in your expressions and hear in your voice your concern for her. I find that an admirable quality and exactly what I have always seen in your videos.

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, love how you care for your animals, I’m sorry to say I enjoy this sort of stuff to building a boat 🙈

🥰

Praise God it all went good for y'all... we continue praying for you, kids. Be blessed in Jesus' name... Much love... BBE...

When are you guys going to teach your human kid to sail .

Hi folks, great episode as usual. First of all, a disclaimer. As a stockman, now well and truly retired. I know a small bit about goats, in fact so small, it's almost nil. I was mainly dairy, and prior to that, sheep and beef cattle. However, having done a 4 year agriculture course at High School over here, we had a working knowledge of farming in general. All of us Ag Students were presented with a fairly thick vet book, covering every thing, such as animal health, symptoms, treatment, etc etc. Related to 1960s period...here in Nz. To keep. Very obviously, treatments have changed over the last 60 years. BUT, what hasn't changed, is animal behavior. What little I know about goats, and based on observation of other stock in 50 odd years or so, and observing from this side of the screen, your does behavior with pawing the ground, seems to be indicative of, "Just leave me alone. I want some time alone." Or simply, "Go away." Behaviour. Particularly, just after kidding. Stamping the ground, is of course, a threat posture. "You're in my space." I guess by now, you've worked out what happened. And it appears, she has managed to expel the placenta completely. Thank you for sharing. Loving your channel. Take care and all the very best from across the ditch.

Not you fault mate..shit happens

Pascale YOU are AWESOME and you have the Most Beautiful Heart.....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍 congratulations to you

😀😀😀👍👍👍❤❤❤

This is just too much for me.

Greetings from Germany!

I hope the weights you use for compression are not lead...

Hi. I was watching your episode on fibreglassing from 7 months ago. Re cleaning brushes something I picked up on KZbin is if you put the brushes or anything else in white vinegar (very cheap) it cleans the brush as well as thinners does. Just a tip. Great series. Thanks

Awesome video will do this method, much better

Your yellow cat is quite the BOSS.

I’m here till the end of the

I found I sorta evolved into syntropic or syntropic style. Mainly because I rarely see food forests producing food and oddly I aquired grasses because I simply like them then started using them. So now I'm more straight mixed lines and less food forest. I converted the food forest into a jungle garden.

Thanks for the update guys 💚🌱

This reminds me of my childhood in Puerto Rico. This is just the way my father and I used to do it, minus the towel, that is a better idea. We did soaked the feet too, but pulled the hoofs with the knife. Thank you for bringing back good memories with my father.

Hello everyone good day I am come from combodia

Someone must of been around Cherokee Indians butchering a hog cause they do that but used burlap feed sacks , to hold the heat in,

I came back to see how you guys are getting on, i was a loyal follower of the sailing ironically you are building a boat ! you too are an inspiration and i will be sailing myself once I've saved the money. do you miss it troy?

Mirrool is photo bombing in another clansman yacht for sale in Greater Hobart, her name is Kestrel

It is heart breaking to lose a furry buddy💔 We lost our little friend that you see on my profile picture over a year ago and we still cry a few tears.

Greetings from the PMW Trailer Sailor: Fillet tip; a set of “ball punches” work great providing perfectly radiused corners of any size. Just press in and drag along and they cut the filler where they make contact. Inexpensive sets available at your local China tool Warehouse (assuming you have one) like our “Harbor Freight”. Sorry if the tip is a little late. Never know quite where you're at in your build in real time. Please let me know when you are looking into chain plates, rigging and such as I have some suggestions I'd like to pass along. Now that you have a little one of your own, I'm sure you have a new appreciation for just how precious and valuable time is. With that in mind, please remember my advice that literally anything and everything that you can do in your build to speed up the setup and take down time of your boat will pay you dividends for years to come. Seems like a good time to remind you to keep your eye out for a drop axle for your trailer or even better, a trailer already equipped with a drop axle. Such things are generally easy to find until you really need one. Then they're virtually non-existent. Frankly, if you put the word out that you were looking for one I wouldn't be surprised if someone reasonably close to you had one they would part with or better yet, have one buried in the briars that they would be grateful to be rid of. Don't underestimate the debt of gratitude from your followers. Please know that if you guys are ever in need, all you have to do is ask and you will “feel the love”. It's not a sign of weakness to ask for help. Truly having the support of those who care about you is a great strength. In fact when you are ready to start looking for a liverboard to go out on your next big adventure, just do nothing more than put out the word that your looking for a boat and see what happens. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised with multiple offers from around the world. If you prefer to do it on your own, twice a year a dozen or more impounded boats are auctioned off locally by the marina to cover mooring fees when the owners could no longer afford them. These boats are in much better condition than those hurricane/typhoon damaged salvage boats and are available at bargain prices. I would think it is the same at marinas in your corner the world. I am sure every one of those owners would have preferred to have given their boats to someone who would use and care for their boats rather than to have them taken by the marina. Like many others, I can't thank you enough for the massive wealth of information the two of you have provided in your entertaining and educational sailing / homesteading videos and will be forever indebted to you. Please know that in the sailing world Free Range doesn't just have celebrity status. Free Range is much more. You two literally invited us into your lives entertaining, educating and befriending your followers like no other KZbinrs. I have been actively searching, unable to find anything even reasonably close. Unlike most sailing channels Free Range was never the “look at us, we are amazing people in exotic places on our extraordinary boat” channel. Free Range was (and still is) the “You Can Do This - Here's How” video channel with an ample splash of “Epic Beauty - On, Off and Under the Water” along with the much appreciated though seldom commented on “Well Researched History” not to mention the muted but always present “Epic Love Story”. In short, excellent content with quality editing. Respect. Lastly, if you are looking for content for a video, may I suggest more of the things you do anyway like making hard cider. Sure I know there are many hard cider videos already out there but consider that with the onset of covid there were countless videos on sourdough. Many people (myself included) truly appreciated seeing the Free Range take on sourdough episode. With that in mind, I'm looking forward to your upcoming videos on Hard, Sparkling and dare I say, Jacked Cider. Much more I'd like to say but once again I fear I've been quite long-winded: Tim

I wonder if you've enough rocks for your goats to climb on if that would help with the hoof trimming. I've heard from other goatkeepers that immedeate milk chilling is key to keeping the goat taste out of the milk.

With Syntropy, what happens when you run out of land? I've always wondered, you end up with a big jungle, which is amazing, but surely harvesting in that environment is difficult?

A big ✅from me.I admire your standing on knocking back paid sponsorship and not having ads during the videos. The best of luck to you mate and I wish you all the success in the future.
