Been raising goats for many yrs the best video iv seen so far . I'm near St. Louis Mo. This past yr it's been hard finding my grain . Just want to mention that should find a brand and mix and stay with it , goat dont like diet change .Just like Pam's hay it screwed her up . The only feed that I can depend on is Purina . Young lady your a bundle of imformation and will have a large beautiful herd to show for your hard work . That's the part we all leave out when talking about goats all the hard work and heartbreak .

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

Thank you very much! Excellent point about sticking with a grain mix to avoid rumen issues!

Great information on Nubians....everyone seems to be all about Nigerians but like you I like the Nubian!

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

We love their floppy ears and sweet personalities!

[@chrystalsabin4091]

I am in love with Nubians and Nigerian dwarfs. The Nubians I have seen are bigger/taller than yours and I don’t know why that is. Within the next 2 yrs I plan on starting my own homestead and both breeds will be there. I’m so excited that I found your channel. Thanks so much for all that information. ❤ oh, new subscriber here.. ❤😊 P.S. Northern Michigander as well.

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

The bucks we currently have are still growing but did the intended job. The does were young as well which might be why they look smaller. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️😄 usually the camer adds 10lbs lol. Thanks for joining!

[@Photonutubia]

Very good. Especially appreciated all the questions from the cameraman, even though I'm sure he already knew all the answers.

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

You are on to us lol. Thanks for watching!

[@robertd3564]

The more I learn about people, the more I love goats

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

The goats don’t usually argue with you😄

[@GoRosieM]

Thank you for the great video. I too have a Nubian herd, I'm in Central Oklahoma. Love my girls and guys. They are wonderful goats. Best of Luck....

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

Thank you! Nubians are the best!

[@michelletate5546]

I recently bought a Nubian goat, and his character is something else.

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

The boys are a blast to watch 😄

[@danlomanalo4161]

Does he become a god with 7 human souls?

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

Finally...a goat farmer interested in the same qualities in a goat that i am. 50 years ago i had a very big nubian/ alpine cross..a mistake in fencing i presume. Mother was #1 @ nys fair for years ..great milker..loved the cheese and milk..other goats milk went to feeding young till sale..milk from them never came into house. Would love having goats again but isnt going to happen, daughters to busy developing properties and members only pub ( mostly all about the food) good luck..its a great lifestyle and place to raise children.

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

Thank you for sharing your own goat story! I know I’m very lucky to have them now, but they’ll have a piece of my heart forever ❤️

[@robinjosephson]

This was a really helpful video. I am a newbie to nubians (an goats) and there is so much I do not know. This video addressed and explained a lot of things I have questions about.

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

Yes send us an email at [e-mail] Kelsey has a list going. We absolutely love the office we have: Pam, Phylis Vance “Vance refrigeration”, Jimothy aka Can I call you Jim, Karen Philipeli. We had Jane Levingston Gould, Angela, and Andy. Our breeding sows are mostly named after 80s/90s talk show hosts lol

So should goats have baking soda freely or every now and then?

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

They should always have access to clean baking soda. Mine usually get excited when I first refill it but then only seem to use it when they need to. Baking soda acts as a buffer in their gut to prevent excessive changes in pH.

[@cristobalv]

I am new to the world of goats. After milking the goats, do you treat the milk or use it immediately afterwards?

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

We run it through a milk filter and put the jars in an ice bath to get it cold quick. We have pasteurized it as well with no change in flavors.

[@rushellealexandra5243]

i have alfalfa orcard 3rd cutting bale fresh in sept . atm

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

I know the feeling!

[@aspotofturquoisehomestead153]

Actually Boer goats come in all colors as well. They do have the traditional color as stated but they have all colors

[@AZ---2024-w7p]

Can you make a video that breaks down the genetic testing etc

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

We sure can! In the mean time...Here is a video discussing some of the diseases we test for and why. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIiokI2ErtKGmbc

[@AZ---2024-w7p]

@@SweetBriarFarmMichigan Thank you!

[@josedelariva1806]

I’m interested in buying do you sell any?

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

We do. First round of kids due at the end of March.

[@yourRoad1]

How often do you change or refill your baking soda feeder?

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

As soon as they poop in it we clean it out and refill lol. It usually gets pooped in before they empty them.

[@sultanzafar4662]
