Watch before You Get Goats! (10 things you need to know about owning goats)

[@phillipgroom9187]

My daughter teaches at a school and showed them one of your videos for kids and they were silent for Several minutes. They had a farm day at school the other day and one of the students asked her if she knew farmer Jason. Thank you for what you do.

[@darksarcasm4835]

I was at the Linden stockyard to assist with paperwork. A guy came by in a stock trailer and dropped off about 20 goats. It was in screaming hot July. Within 20 minutes of the goats being dropped off, 95% of the goats were on the ground either overheated or in labor-or both. It was a nightmare. The vet came by to check the cattle, and helped us get the goats in a more comfortable area. We hosed down the goats that overheated, and moved the laboring goats to a better location. However, the person that dropped off the goats disappeared-nowhere and never to be found. The goats did not sell. We were able to find homes for the goats, but not all of the goats made it through the experience. When Jason gives advice about their animals, I take it as the gospel.

[@funniful]

Yea…..I don’t see myself having goats. My husband wants goats, but I’m the one who does everything for the animals (chickens and rabbits) and I don’t think I could handle all that. Plus the expense! Hubs thinks you just let a goat eat the weeds and don’t have to buy feed. Regular vet visits, medications, feed, etc….we can’t afford it. He is disabled and I am retired. My 30 yr old brain thinks I can do all the things, but my 60 year old body has other ideas.

That is some good information that y'all have just gave I have been interested in getting Dairy goats for my own personal use and everything you told us today explains why you need to be very cautious on buying goats I love watching your Channel I have learned so much I'm from cattle ranchers but I ain't getting into cattle I'm 64 years old and I just won't like two or three days and a buck just for dairy products only

[@lindagoble7724]

Your husband sounds like my brother-in-law who told my husband that he was going to put a couple of cows out in his pasture so they would keep the grass down and cows didn’t require any attention. My husband was raised on a farm and had a good laugh.

I pass a pasture of beautiful lil goats and lots of babies. Its rained for 4 days in a row. I mean really hard. Those poor little goats gathered in the corner together. Not even as much as a tree to give them shelter. IT BREAKS MY HEART. I feel so very sorry for them.

I don't have plans to get goats. I can't have animals where I live. I watch them virtually by watching yours and other farm channels. I do appreciate you sharing your wisdom and experience with them.

It does bring Us More Appreciation on what Jason & Brooke has to do to bring us the enjoyment of watching their Goats!!

It’s so wonderful that you have such a beautiful farm family. Thank you for teaching us about so many things…not just goats, but birds and gardening and even frogs. You are so positive, so upbeat, so fun but consequently, people who’ve never had the privilege of living outside of the city don’t realize farm life is not a walk in the park. You work so relentlessly, but you make it seem joyful and easy, and I for one love your channels! I grew up on a working cattle ranch. I understand the ups and downs, the obligations and responsibilities, the joys and sorrows. We never raised goats, and I had no idea they were so challenging, I only had the knowledge they were escape artists and many were ornery, and I didn’t want them. I still don’t, 😂😂 but you’ve shown with proper planning, care and love, they’re wonderful hobby farm pets. Thank you for educating, explaining and sharing your farm life. You are a beautiful family. ❤❤❤

I've added a cup of white vinegar to the wash for pet beds, etc. Some people add baking soda with it. But just the white vinegar got pup pee out of the bed he decided to hike his leg on. I've also heard from a friend a cup of vodka takes smells out as well. But I think I'd be like you on the buck rut smells. There is nothing like a strong urine smell. Plus, it's been out fermenting in the sun. Whew weee! That's got to be rugged. Lol 🤣

[@victoriabaker4400]

Plus, unlike with dogs or cats, male goat pee, when the hormones are raging, is itself just smells way stronger, then they pee on themselves for weeks on end. Friends of ours had a buck goat and I reached out to touch him-- yikes just sticky, gooey feel and like Jason says, impossible to wash off.

[@Lauras2shy]

Good morning. I love my goats. I also have Nigerian dwarf and Nubians but I also have mini Nubians. When you were talking about snacks and bananas…it is so true, some love it and some don’t care for it. Have you tried feeding the peel as well? Mine love eating the peel.

[@jodiedwards2634]

lol..neighbors just might object! 😂😂 Maybe a loving kitty or even a bird would suit your lifestyle better. Animals are great companions. You just want to choose the right ones for your environment and circumstances. Do your research first and I’m sure you will find the perfect fit! 😊

[@flychk1229]

@@jodiedwards2634 I’m a long time dog lover. I lost my best buddy a couple years ago and at 69 I just don’t think it would be fair to have another. I love all animals really and have been fortunate enough to have all kinds in my life, including two baby skunks when I was around 8 yrs old. They had been orphaned and my grandfather found them and brought them to me much to my mother’s dismay. But I mean, who would NOT want a donkey??? 😊😊

I have goats and haved raised them now for 8 yrs. Everything Jason says is 100% correct. They are alot of work for sure but to me, well worth it. I have nigerian dwarf goats as well. Only other thing I would say is to research your area that you will be keeping your goats to find out about the soils and the water and the land they will be grazing for unwanted poisonous plants or trees.

thank you so much for this very informative information. about 5 years ago, i was handed 5 newborn baby goats that had been born under horrible circumstances. i knew nothing about goats. we knew enough to no the babies had to have mamas first milk, so we did manage to get it down all of them. to make a long story short, i bottle raised those babies, and yes, they did all survive. one had a birth defect in one of his hind legs, so he became known as tripod. i loved those babies and they loved me. i started learning quick on how to care for them, but of course, i still have so much more to learn. im not young, but my husband and i try hard to make sure they are taken care of and the love continues. we have lost a few thru the years, and it is heart breaking for sure. we live in a rural area, and even after all this time, we have yet to find a vet that will make house calls. yall are very fortunate. i wish there was more doctor d's around. once again, i want to thank you and brooke so much for all you do. love watching all of you and your animals. your fan vonda, from texas
