MOVING OUR SPANISH GOATS TO THE HAY IN THE BITTER COLD!!🐐

We’re moving the goat herd to a new spot that’s closer to the yard and the frost free water. I’m getting kind of sick of hauling water so we decided to haul bales in to this farm and keep the goats here. The wind block from the cold and snow isn’t as good here where the bales are but it works. The goats followed behind my truck pretty good for the half mile hike they made through the snow and wind. It’s been below zero temperatures for over a week now and will be nice looking forward to next week!

That's impressive goats look in really good shape curious what breed

[@WholesomeFamilyFarms]

We have the Spanish breed. Kensing line.

Your goats are wintering well. Anything to break the wind for the livestock sure helps.

[@WholesomeFamilyFarms]

Yeah this wind break on the edge like that isn’t the best. I need to move em a little further east but something to move the bales further over would be nice! Have a great weekend!

Hi Jordan, hope that you are feeling better from your winter cold. Enjoyed the Thumbnail of the goats parading behind your truck. It is funny to see the goats eating dried out leaves and twigs instead of the fresh hay. It is good at least that they know what they need. Looking forward to a little warmer temperatures next week. Take care until next time and have a great weekend.

Thanks Ben! Yeah it’s pretty cool to see the goats selecting browse over the hay! We’re definitely looking forward to the warm temps coming too! Thanks for tuning in! Have a great weekend!

Very nice! You must be back to mild weather already?

[@WholesomeFamilyFarms]

Yeah it’s very mild! Getting muddy even in spots. One extreme to the next it seems like. How’s the weather up by you?

[@french-canadianfarmer5049]

We will get some melting this week. I think the ground will stay frozen though. I prefer it stay frozen until spring.

[@georgeheller2281]

Warmer weather on its way. Goats are looking good, it is amazing to see them go after those dead plants in the woods before the hay. But animals are smarter than us when it comes to eating. Have a great weekend Jordan.

[@WholesomeFamilyFarms]

Thanks George! Did you have a good meeting the other day? Heard you were there. Have a great weekend!

[@georgeheller2281]

@WholesomeFamilyFarms wasn't too bad, would have been nice if they talked more about grazing management. I guess there isn't too many folks trying to do what we are. Looking forward to meeting up in a couple weeks.
