Breeding Goats for Pets

[@karenhernke281]

Awe.....love all the new baby goats!!! We just came one with 2 pigs and 2 lambs this weekend. All new to use. It's just great for our kids. Love all your videos and cant wait to see what the updates all look like on your family farm. 😊

[@nataliem.6608]

I agree with you, goat babies are the cutest. Right up there with piglets.

[@jehsdca]

Just wanting to say you appear well ! I hope you leg is healing and not causing you too much pain. It's nice to see you home and up and about.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Leg has healed so well and I am getting around and working unrestricted

[@jehsdca]

@@SSLFamilyDad We thank God for everything he does for us.

[@ericsumnicht7829]

So glad to see you on the mend Dad. God bless your healing.

[@denisricher1349]

You look like you are doing great... Glad to see and CONGRATS on the babies

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

Be careful and make sure that your wound is healing properly ! Also a good idea to get some blood tests done again to make sure everything is in "balance" !

[@PaulaJoDavis]

Baby goats are way cuter than lambs. Lookit those little faces! Then they bounce, bounce, bounce. Yep, way cuter! Blessings from NE Missouri!

[@hectorskmetija3015]

Yep cute but Cameroon X lambs are just as cute and fun 😍 all the best from Slovenia

[@One_Crazy_Dog_Mum]

I can’t believe it’s been 12 months since you built those goat pens, I’m still trying to get my hubby to let me have some goats 😩. Glad your healing well, thanks for the dose of cuteness Todd 🐐

[@dianeb5380]

Of all the things I've seen the goat milk used for, the ice cream appeals to me the most. That just sounds like a good idea with the higher fat content than cow's milk.

[@jerrygibs8120]

Enjoyed your video brother. I'm almost 70 yrs. old. What I've observed is, people like to gravitate toward positive, genuinely enthusiastic, happy and willing to share productive, wise perspectives. Appreciate your conscientiousness and attention to detail. Colossians 3:23 KJV - And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; . ....... the Jesus in us attracts those interested in finding HIM. ☝💪🙏👉

[@kathrinekerns8398]

Those babies are so cute.

[@kaycox19]

Love your channel, philosophy and lifestyle!

[@wandaallen4340]

I am with you goats 🐐 are my favorite

[@herbhall5585]

I really liked this video and the updates on your farm. Gives me lots of ideas for mine. Thank you

[@karenkuttkuhn9696]

Sooo good to see you up and around! cute baby goats!!

[@lisabooker6405]

First I wanna say PRAISE GOD you’re doing so well!!! So glad to see that. God is truly good. Second...while I LOVE Doug and Stacy, I gotta agree, baby goats are hard to beat! Especially the teeny dwarfs. Sooooo “dorabs!” I so wish I could have goats. Maybe someday soon. I’m hopeful anyway. TFS God Bless ~Lisa

[@cdf01]

Glad to see you back at it!

[@1MSally1965]

Goats and chickens are my favorites!!!

[@casid9929]

When I first saw the milking machine, I thought it was ridiculous. But using it would keep hair and other nasty things out of the milk so it really has great benefits. Now, if I only lived on a farm instead of the city!

[@Rangband1]

Fresh milked goat milk is hard to tell the difference with cow milk but as it ages a couple days it can take on a goaty flavor.

[@RunamuckFarms]

it is nice to see you up and walking around and yes goats make better farm animals then sheep LOL.

[@muddyacres9334]

Yeah, agreed. Goats are the cutest!

[@GoRosieM]

I raise Nubians so I get a lot more milk, but you might try making Cajeta, goat milk caramel sauce. Easy to make and delicious. Rick Bayless has the best recipe online.

[@giovannibazzini1403]

Can you do an update on the horses

[@grannianni7681]

New subscriber, enjoyed the goats a lot!

[@Jax2096]

Look at all the lamb shank...so yummy

[@robertulman9239]

Thanks for the video...cute goats.

[@chance3174]

I have Nigerian dawfs 5 does 1 buck and 2 pets really fun

[@politicalpartyagnostic268]

Goats are actually pretty cute😃

[@chevy6299]

Agreed goats are cuter than sheep.

[@andrewsarles3520]

Planting peas and beans,spinach in the ground tommorow if the rain holds off? When possible those panels are the way to go mine are over 10 years old if they bend they can be heated up and bent back, weld them if they break! That woven wire is not good! Cattle destroy woven wire as well as horses and hogs!

[@darlajames674]

All baby animals are cute! But my house is partial to lambs. My daughter was in FFA and showed lambs

[@SSLFamilyDad]

We may end up with some lambs also over here next year

[@darlajames674]

@@SSLFamilyDad I think the 4H/FFA kids in the area would like it

[@audfam2011]

I can’t decide. Haha. I already have goats so maybe I’ll have my daughter show a lamb for FFA so we can try out both 😍

[@OakKnobFarm]

You had 666 Likes. I was glad to bump you up one :)

[@daniellecarling1694]

Like that white one with the spots though she or he was cute looks like a cuddle bug

[@hardymarshfarm7843]

good advice, get a head of the plan. never enough space/ stalls for the animals.

[@carlboehm3858]

We had 7 kids born from 3 does ... Ours are Nubian/Toggenburg Does crossed with a Kiko Buck. Looking for milk as my wife has a goat milk soap business and also Red Boar bred to the Kiko for big body meat goats. I lost a set of twins this year and the doe also had retained placenta. Researching this I found that the problem could be mineral deficiency. I should be feeding free choice loose minerals. I am feeding them now and after 3 weeks I notice that their coats are getting shiny and they are picking up weight and filling out. Check out "The Goat Spot" online. Some very knowledgeable people who are willing to help ... God Bless from South of You.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

that is great advice. You are right about the minerals, we mix some in with their feed often or use a free choice mineral block for them

[@Zahra141]

Where do you take the dead animals too

[@SSLFamilyDad]

They are buried on the edge of our property

[@Zahra141]

SSLFamilyDad Oh okay thank you for your reply.

[@lbsmith83]

Where do you live and have you sold All your babies?

[@SSLFamilyDad]

We are in the flint/Lansing area and have not sold the goats yet

[@williambell8875]

what happened to the ducklings that you had in your barn with their mom

[@SSLFamilyDad]

We still have two males and a female. 3 of the other ducks were lost last year to a fox.

[@jimlashbrook5429]

If they are a pet can they be house broken?

[@SSLFamilyDad]

I do not think goats can be house broken. They go whenever and wherever

[@DaybirdAviaries]

I have Nubians for milk now but am thinking about Dwarfs for pets.

[@rosejafari8917]

The dwarves have sweeter and creamer milk. I milk both Nubian and pygmy goats.

[@WetPaintBostik]

Man, English is not my first language and you are really confusing me on the correct use of good and well. 😵 "It's been working really GOOD" or "it's been working really WELL" "they've been doing pretty GOOD or WELL" 🤔

[@HerHealthyHome]

Both are correct, they've been doing well or they've been doing good.

[@HerHealthyHome]

It's been working pretty well.

[@Spencersofduffield]

English is my first language and I use them well interchangeably. Maybe you'd be frowned on in a good formal setting, but most people should be able to understand you good without issue. Hope that was well and helpful.

[@lechatbotte.]

No thank you lol. Nubians for milk. No goats otherwise sorry. Nope lambs rule, besides the shepherd says we are his lambs. Goats belong to the other guy. Time for a sermon on sheep vs goats lol

[@billfischer6464]

Very interesting. I didn't recall the mention of goats but you are not the first person I've heard say that. Thanks
