Baby Goats on the Farm Update

[@deborahsmith5721]

Hey some of us like it when its just you cause there is no interruptions and we can listen to you. You are so intelligent and love the way u care for your animals.

[@mikemiller8440]

Thanks again for another awesome video I really appreciate it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video

[@wykeishacraft6820]

The Babies 🐐 are so amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@mpedmar9701]

I'm still finding videos that I missed somehow ! I love the fact that when I find a video featuring an animal update that they are always family friendly and I can send them to my son for my granddaughters to watch. They love animals. Thanks for having a 100% clean channel always . I'm not concerned with the occasional live birth, that is life and we can decide if we want to use your video as an educational tool. Stay happy, healthy and safe. God bless

[@bettyjones8558]

Love your videos thank you.Take care and be safe

[@Ken0604]

The babies are so cute. Looks like you have your hands full with so many. Have a great weekend and be safe out there working.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Yep they are doing good and growing fast. Thanks.

[@JosephNieboer]

So cute, love the babies.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Thanks.

[@thatotherdebra1834]

Wow, they're growing fast! They are so cute and you can tell they're well cared for. Great job! Have a blessed day :-)

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Yeah they grow like a weed for the first month or two.

[@bannlaughlin3544]

I love watching your old videos of the babies. Great

[@CherishHopePhotography]

If I got goats.... I don't think I would ever go back inside!!! Nothing cuter than baby goats!!

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Yeah they are so much fun when they are babies.

[@elizabethpendleton3421]

Good golly Goat Wrangler... that's a lot of goats!

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

lol, Well I actually sold about 15 last summer so I had even more.

[@faithhomelife6500]

Your videos are awesome! Makes me miss our goats.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Thanks, I'm glad you like them.

[@NewYorkandDisney]

Awww! The baby goats are so cute!

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Thanks.

[@usakiwi5222]

Oh No The John Deere is down. Bugger. At least we got to see adorable baby goats. Thanks Daniel.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

It's not a big problem with the tractor so I'm not too concerned about it.

[@usakiwi5222]

Arms Family Homestead Good to hear!

[@pamjones6465]

I hear you. Being a trama nurse takes up a big chunk my time. Unfortunately I miss some stuff. Cute as a button. They grow up so quickly. :)

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Yeah I suppose it's just part of the price of having a job outside of the home.

[@bigmamma6946]

Loved watching this episode

[@darlenepowell5948]

Your baby goats are adorable!

[@boomersudden6257]

Anyone see that duck fall into the feed bucket at 7:41 it pushed the baby goat away from the feed bucket when he fell in. LOL.

[@wandaallen3971]

So cute love them

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Who's hungry? "MMEEE...HHHH" :0) Baby in the feed bucket has the right idea

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Yeah they dang sure don't mind telling you they are hungry! lol

[@timkamholz1009]

Great vid thanks

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Thanks.

[@georgevaldez1449]

Good Video

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Thanks.

[@glenokla2588]

They are so very cute and healthy. You make a good second over Houston. LOL

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

lol, thanks.

[@Bunny-sm1hx]

It still cutie

[@paulastorm4213]

I'm in Kansas but have not found these type of goats local

[@Michael29160]

Love the videos so I took the plunge and bought 3 goats. 2 of them are pregnant and one is open. Here is the problem I now have, one of the pregnant goats has a broken leg as of this afternoon, the front leg above the knee and it feels like a bad break. she is due sometime in January so I would hate to put her down. I have seperated her from the other goats and will wrap the leg but I don't think it can be set. I plan on letting her kid. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks Michael @ Too Many Oaks Plantation

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

I don’t have many suggestions other than what you have done. As long as the other goats can’t hurt her I bet she will surprise you at how fast she recovers.

[@Michael29160]

@@ArmsFamilyHomestead Thanks she is strong and safe from the other goats so we will let nature do it's thing I checked with the vet and he agreed I have done all that can be done. Thank for the help

[@loidaloida8902]

waw

[@jackpicard3735]

did the little brown baby goat make it! wondering if he got better...the brown one with its left leg that wouldn't straighten out

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Thanks.

[@kan-zee]

Sound like my family when dinner is not made at 5pm sharp..LOL, but it sure gets quiet when they got there food. LOL How many goats do you have ? Do you get any predator problems (coyotes?)

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

I have 25 grown goats, some of the does are just a year old and were not old enough breed this time around. And so far I have 8 kids from this season.

[@kan-zee]

outstanding. Can you put in one of your videos, some more tips on how you live sustain ably , with a Homestead family...from a male perspective ? thank you.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Well I don't mind at all, but I don't really know what you are asking me to show. I have lots of videos where I talk about where our food comes from: gardens, high tunnel, deer, rabbits, ets. What are you wanting to know more about?

[@kan-zee]

My boys were curious as to another homestead man's perspectives are to the challenges , successes, ups and downs you have faced in your years in the field. Your videos are awesome on showing the materials of the homestead, but they wanted to know more about the inner mind developments of the homestead. The mental developments and benefits, of the homestead man.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Okay, I bet I can do something like that. I'll do some thinking on it and see what I can come up with. Ohh and I just realized I didn't answer one of your first questions. No I have never lost any goat to predators. We do have lots of coyotes and bobcats in our area but, I have a Great Pyrenees dog who watches over the goats. She must do her job pretty well because most of the year my goats are out on pasture and they roam all over about 100 acres.

[@annkruml]

awww they're so cute and growing quick. does the momma get mad or try to bunt when you mess with their babies?

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

No the momma are pretty comfortable with me around the kids. Sometimes if a new person comes around they get a little more defensive but its not too bad at all.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

I don't keep aggressive goats around long. I like for my kids to be able to play with the goats and not get hurt, so aggressive goats get sold.

[@shannonb6110]

What type of grain are you feeding? Is it a mineral pellet?

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

I usually feed a 14% creep feed but last winter I started feeding a 4 way blend

[@candicechristensen1753]

That's a heck of a lot of goats! Holy cow! I didn't know you had so many. What breed/breeds do you have? Do you use them for milk, meat, or both?

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Candice Christensen here is a link to a video from the other day that tell about our goats. We raise mostly Kiko goats and they are a meat goat. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2HUcoytbcidY5Y

[@candicechristensen1753]

Thanks!

[@silverbackc7818]

At how many weeks do u deworm them or give any type of medication

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Most vets recommend the CD&T shot at 5-6 weeks old and then just once every year. I usually only deworm kikos when they look like it's needed.

[@earlbelcher2615]

did you turn on the fuel?

[@mick3805]

What are the ear tags for?

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

I use them to allow me to keep records of all my goats. I like to track which does birthed which kids. It helps me in deciding which kids I will keep and which ones I will sell. Every goat also has a health report in a notebook so I can keep records of worming, shots, or any kind of health related issues.

[@mick3805]

Arms Family Homestead that's a great idea, thanks for that

[@terryjones8588]

Will you be selling any of your new does?

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Probably so, I kept back 6 of the baby does last year and sold the rest. It really just depends on how many kids I end up having and how many of my older does I decide to cull.

[@timkamholz1009]

how do you wean the babies

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

I usually just separate them from the mommas once they get over 90 days old. If they are on the small side I will leave them together a little longer.

[@earlbelcher2615]

the OSU meat goat boot camp guts say don't put feed on the ground.the barber pole worm lives there.

[@paulastorm4213]

Do you sell your goats

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Yes, I sell the kids once they reach about 50 pounds. We have several sheep and goat auctions in Oklahoma and I sometimes also sell them to local people on Craigslist.

[@michaeljoseph258]

U have any goats for sale

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Not right now.

[@paulastorm4213]

I'm in Kansas but have not found these type of goats local

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

They might not be very popular in Kansas but they are out there. I did a quick Google search and found few breeders. I also found a few on Craigslist.
