Our best camera is the Canon Vixia HF G30. It is more expensive than the newer models so if you're looking for a mid-level Video Camera I would get the newest model which is here amzn.to/3htJvJE
The mic goes on the G30 and is here amzn.to/3hmMDqr
We used a Canon Vixia HF R600. The 800 is even better and here is the link amzn.to/3iAnFo5

I like to watch your channel I always learn something I manage my goats differently but still always find something that I can use on my farm thanks

[@addisonranch]

Thanks😁. You’re 100% right we can all learn from each other even though there is nobody that manages exactly like yourself.

[@thibaultb9887]

I always thought it must be so easy keeping goats this natural way. Now I see the trouble that comes with it, not to mention the stress. Good luck!

[@addisonranch]

Yes there really isn’t an “easy way” to manage them. All methods take labor and money. You just try to make a little money at the end😁

[@SJA-ox3hs]

When are you gonna get some Collies makes the work a whole lot easier

[@delsurf71]

I gotta herd two terriers when they are focused on rabbits or cats or random noises. I sure use bad words

[@addisonranch]

They definitely have a mind of their own 🤣😂

[@turnbacknow1464]

Amazing just watching and understanding nature. In some respects then act like people.

[@addisonranch]

Yes they do. Sometimes that’s good, sometimes that’s bad.

[@asacozad7209]

Thanks for this. I had same problem. Goats just don’t move like cattle. I’m thinking to maybe just set stock in a paddock during kidding season. And I’ll take the extra expense to feed.

[@addisonranch]

Depending on conditions maybe parasite issues later based on exposure during set stock time, maybe an expense also. This is why I like this community. Others have some good ideas also. The strip grazing is a nice solution with a back fence once they all move. However, I know that would be tough in your area.

What type of goat are the sir

[@addisonranch]

Spanish

[@edwinfai5910]

Are there for meat and milk sir

[@addisonranch]

@@edwinfai5910 they are meat goats.

[@scottroyer8956]

How long do you leave them on a paddock before you need to move them for parasite control?

[@addisonranch]

That’s a very difficult question that depends on a lot of variables that relate to exposing the goats to the parasite. Anywhere from a day to around 7 for me and my area and typical weather.

[@scottroyer8956]

@@addisonranch I'm struggling to find the right balance between parasite control, stress when moving babies, and labor. We're running 3 strands of polywire with close post spacing. That gets tedious through the brush

[@addisonranch]

@@scottroyer8956 yes it would. I’m assuming you’ve tried 2 strands and it didn’t work for you? I think I’ve got over the hump on the kids issues….thank goodness. Age on the kids helps BIG TIME!!
