Goat Care: Trimming Hooves, Giving Shots, Pregnancy Tests // Homesteading

Learn what you need to know for healthy goats!
One of my very best friends Kate, the Modern Day Settler, came to visit Nashville from Boston and I asked her to help me make a video about trimming goat hooves and basic veterinary care for goats. Using a goat milking stand, or stanchion, we can clip or farrier our goats using an inexpensive tool kit. As part of my homesteading 101 tutorials, hopefully this can get you on the right track with your goats and other small dairy animals!

Your goats love to climb. Have you thought of build them a climbing platform made of rocks or concrete? Then your wonderful goats will take care of trimming their own hoofs by climbing over a rock structure. Natures own beautiful way of taking care of itself. And yourself and us get pleasure by watching you filming watching you watching them.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Maybe one day! They do so much wandering and climbing already that their feet really don't need much maintenance at all here. Just a checkup to make sure everything's ok and a trim if they need it.

I know this is an old video, but I was at the “Modern Homesteading conference and really enjoy and got a lot out of your presentation. Thank you so much! Gig Harbor, Washington ❤

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Thank you so much for coming today!! So glad it was helpful, especially amidst all the chaos 😉

[@WattsWoodenWonders]

Please keep doing exactly what you are doing! I love how clear cut and informative your videos are. The humor is great too. I also love the scratches and blood on your hand, not because I want you to be hurt, but it proves how hands on you really are and that you truly are doing it yourself.

[@EricWillis77]

Probably late on this but welcome to Tennessee! You will fit in nicely 🤠😎

[@sheiladuncan1027]

Hi,Anne, love your show. Here's a tip you might like to build for your goats. Build an angled climbing structure for them, similar to a doghouse roof, or ramps to a higher platform. Cover it with roofing shingles. As the goats climb and play they'll sand off their hooves naturally, like they would on rocky ground. You still need to check them, of course, because some might favor one angle over another and causing an uneven surface, but it works really well. With all the rain we are getting the ground is too soft to cause natural wear. Having concrete platforms, like garden benches, for them to jump on and off of works, too.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

That's a really great idea!!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Good video Anne! Thanks for sharing with us!💖👌👍😎JP

Aw, you had to make her a special goat stand! I can't wait for bouncing baby goats!

I'm SOOOOO excited too!

Woohoo, there's going to be happy bouncing kids on the farm!👍🏽 That little step for midget goat made me chuckle.😂

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Me too :)

[@jackiegammon2065]

Love the fact that you already have connections there to make contact with and maybe offer a landing hand. KUDOS for keeping your channel moving forward along with all of the other tasks that you have at the moment.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Thanks for the info and smiles! 😁👍🏻🐐🪒👊🏻

[@BryanTheGravedigger]

Just wanted to say thank you for this video, I have been thinking about getting a few goats for my property and this answered a few pressing questions I had.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

oh awesome! So glad to have been able to help!

[@SteveC38]

So Happy For You 👍

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Thank you!

[@garynovak7977]

Just to be clear, are we going to have baby goat videos in a month? I LOVE BABY GOATS. (They're the best.)

[@danaowen9014]

The goats are so cute and jental

[@thehamlinwoodshop]

Thanks Anne. Great video!

[@reforzar]

I might use some of these tips! 🤚🏻🦶🏻

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Hahahaha gross

[@Grunt49]

Good info as always.

[@CooperFamilyHomestead]

Awesome info Anne! Great video

[@StillmeadowFarmAndrea]

Excellent video ladies! Love following you both. This was timely, I'm planning to trim my goat's hooves tomorrow :)

[@hippoandbearmakes3416]

I want some goats 🐐 😃

[@brucehutton2089]

Hi Anne cute animals. We never had goats but just seeing them it like them. Nice video. My husband Bruce said "Ash don't get any ideas about using his shaver"😅🤗🤗🙌 Ashleigh 💖 Ashleigh

[@minnesotaboy]

Thanks for showing the Preg-Tone in use on your goats! I work at Renco. We have been manufacturing ultrasound products for animal use for over 50 years right here in the Minneapolis MN area. Nasco is one of the companies that sell our products for us and they do a good job. More info on all of our products can be found at rencocorp.com. Thanks Anne!

What type of Video and sound equipment was used for this video. Great Quality and crystal clear picture.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Sony A2 camera and a Rode shotgun mic. My new videographer Entertwine Media is really incredible!

[@jim1550]

How dare you not use a goat chair. They are the most funny looking contraptions ever.

[@leebarnhart9725]

I've said it before but I'll repeat myself. If reincarnation is real I want to return as one of Anne's pets or livestock. I'd be one well taken cared of and happy old goat that's for sure. I'm surprised there isn't a line of animals out side the fence waiting and hoping to be in.

[@MrLeventdelamort]

Tip! Save the goat hoof trimmings, they are delicious sauteed with butter and garlic.

[@YaYaLee]

I’m subscribed to her KZbin channel, I wished she would make more videos. Do you happen to know if she’s planning on doing so?

[@GibClark]

Cool 👍👍👍👍

[@teresaschroepfer3695]

Could you do a talk about the difference between cast, forged, and dropped metal? Or I may just be dumb....everyone else may already know.

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

Oh wow it is so much harder to trim Horse hooves. I wish my father in law did goat rides now and get rid of the horses.....lol

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I know! Trimming the donkey feet is way more work too. But alas, I don't know of any goats you can ride haha

I had NO idea you are supposed to do this with goats too, might be because here goat ppl just, have like 1290312390123 goats on a hill somewhere and only see them to. Well. Move them to green land or pick some for the knife. I had never seen someone doing this, nice to know.

[@wbcc3388]

What happens to wild goats? Do they all get hoof rot?

[@AnneofAllTrades]

No, they are climbing rocks and walking on all kinds of unlevel ground and they get naturally worn down. We have to trim domestic goats because generally they don’t get as much opportunity to get natural wear.

[@PappyJag1]

Great job Miss April, can you please send me her info thank you

[@stevenflanagan6504]

Your trimmers actually look a little dull with practice usually they end up taking a little bit more sole off making them sorta flatter Yes you can use a rasp works well but slower

[@AnneofAllTrades]

yeah, somewhere in the move I lost my new pair. I don't really like using a rasp because it's too rough on their pads, but I dod know lots of folks who use them.

[@stevenflanagan6504]

@@AnneofAllTrades I just mentioned the rasp because someone asked about it in the comments I have a bunch of them horse-sized which I think it is probably best some goats like it at least more than the shears you're doing great thanks for sharing your stuff

[@TheBigMclargehuge]

In medieval times misbehaved goats would be stuck into goat stocks like this, usually in a public forum.

[@just_beardly6674]
