We rent our goats out for events, bday parties, festivals etc. We do 2 to 4 shows a week and pull in between $800 to $2500 a week.

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

Oh wow that’s impressive. How many goats that usually

[@williamk1452]

I had dairy goats, and sold kids. I raised heritage hogs also. I sold the hogs before taking to the processor and delivered the package with added process fee. My friend raised Boer goat s and sold at a market. The tastiest meat ever!

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

Yes we tried goat for the first time about a year ago and it might be my new favorite meat.

[@kathylayton765]

Hi Myke and Tonia! There is actually a shepard that has a herd of goats out here that goes with the goats from field to field to help clear them. He has a little trailer he stays in and has three dogs that herd the goats. I see around them around every so often. God Bless and Take care!

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

Yeah there are some people around here that do it as well. It would work not sure what they charge but its probably worth it. Thanks for watching

Awesome! We are fairly new in the world of goats. We have 2 (1 years old) boer does. They are full-blooded but not registered. I really want to grow our herd but also make some kind of income with them. All this info was great for us moving into the future with goats! Thank you

Good morning Myke and Tonya. Oh my goodness those puppies are beautiful little fluff balls. Are you able to rent the goats out to functions for a petting Zoo ? Those goats were determined to knock over the tripod... Glad that your camera survived. LOL Blue Cactus dairy goats (another KZbin channel) sells registered goats show goats and top milk line goats. And if I remember correctly they sold some kids last year for $5,000 that came from good milking lines. Thanks for sharing this information with us Myke and Tonya. Stay Happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you, your family and your adventures.

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

Yes the puppies are adorable. I watch Blue Dairy all the time I love their channel. They do an awesome job teaching people about goats. Thanks Margie

I want to use goats to clear brush and poison oak and then later for meat. But I'm not sure if I can just change the diet a few months before butchering for the meat quality. Is it a good idea?

[@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead]

Great INFO…going to save this! What breed should we get? Hoping to get 2 MEAT goats to start? GBL-The Ole Church 5 Acre Homestead!

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

Yes make sure you at least get 2 goats they are herd animals and do not do well alone. In Canada I think Kiko goats would do well. You can always do Boar goats but I think Kiko Mommas do a better job of raising there kids.

[@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead]

Can the Kiko withstand the cold….-10 to -20c

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

@@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead yeah we got down to -12°F last winter and stayed in the negative temps for about a week, and our goats did fine. We did lose a couple new born babies tho. As long as the goats can stay dry and have a wind block they can be fine

question. Why not hire farm hands? Everyone that makes good money with goats say they have their "farm hands" do the load. Im so confuse at this point. My wife and I are starting to get nervous with this dairy goat, chicken, duck, geese, and turkey farm idea. *gulp

[@marsogreen2411]

Thanks for the video. Do you have an estimate or some numbers on the going rate for renting out a herd for clearing brush? Thanks in advance

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

I did some research about 2 weeks ago and came up with weekly rental rates for 3-5 goats at a time to clear 1 acre. It came up to 200 per week plus 100 set up fee and it was a 3 week guarantee, plus any additional fees for extra fence and such. I was wanting to do something larger lime 30 to 60 goats for a day or two at a time. Not sure im gonna research some more and ask some of the people in our area that are doing it. Maybe make a video out of just thta down the road

Its funny you ask that… I have a goat 101 video coming out in a week or so, its actually a collaboration video with two other channels that raise goats as well. I think it will help you a lot and answer a few of the questions you may have. Thanks for subbing and watching we appreciate it

[@everydaykhan8446]

Depending on the state you need to be state inspection to sell meat off of a farm I know in Vermont you can if you are state inspection.

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

Yes some states do require inspections. We cant sell our goats unless the are ear tagged so that the can track the goat back to our farm if need be.

[@creekviewhomestead]

We have 5 acres in Oklahoma, 3 acres of which is being used already. Thinking about raising goats for profit. We have three pygmies right now and looking into other breeds, but we are wondering if 2 acres is enough for a profitable goat farm?

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

it could be a profit but it will limit how large the operation could be.

[@andrewjordan4480]

short answer is no. if you put 6 goats per acre x 2 acres = 12 goats...all does, that all had twins = 24 babies to sell. 24 x 350$ = $8,400. there is not enough in it to think of it as a money maker until you hit around 50 goats or you find a niche market be it the 4h/ffa/show/dairy etc. avenue. It all depends how great you are at marketing and how great you can get your farm name out there. pygmies x nigerian dwarves will sell around 150$ a piece around here so you are 24 x $150 = $3,600 and then if you were to take out hay, feed, mineral, time spent you are not going to make a profit.

[@henmaidstale]

Thank you so much. I need goats to clear brush on 3 acres of swamp and prickers in Massachusetts. How do goats feel about streams and water? Do their hooves do a lot of damage? How often do you trim their hooves?

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

Our goats are Kiko goats and we don’t ever have to trim hooves but most goats do need their hooves trimmed. Goats don’t really like to get wet or even walk in water so they typically stay clear of damp ground

[@henmaidstale]

@@FowlerFamilyFarm Thanks so much for the info! I have heard Kiko goats are what I should get to clear the poison ivy and prickers. Maybe the wetlands will act as a fence at times, problem is it dries up end of summah. Cheers!

[@loganlin6109]

How much money do you get per pound of goat meat? Either in live weight or weight of processed cuts. The prices seem to be all over the place from 5 dollars a pound to 16 dollars a pound for processed cuts. If raising goats without pasture grass then you couldn’t make any money off the meat if it sells for any less than 13 dollars a pound. But if selling milk in theory I could?

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

My price is usually 3-5 dollars per pound before processing, and they are about 4-6 months old and I have no money in them, so I haven’t fed grain to them. You will usually get your best price at about 35-55 pounds
