My Guide to Keeping Goats - Things to Know Before You Buy! - Adam Henson - EP8

[@yatta747]

I like how he shows the love and respect for his animals but at the same time doesn't shy away from the fact that is a farm and they are also used for their meat.

[@Paulco67]

The presentation here is equal to a top class professional outfit. Superb! Thanks

[@DaxterAs]

Great video! I would love to see one dedicated to sheep.

[@mare7829]

Wow, love your explanation and care of the goats. In America we can buy any goat any time with no license or knowledge of their care. We register our farms if we want with the goverment. We do have to have a scrapies tag when changing owners is all. We have a Spanish goat breed that the goverment keeps track of for it's purity because they have good genetics. Thanks again for ur compassion of the lost breeds.❤

Very interesting & informative. My Mum loved feeding the goats with grass nuts on our last visit, and we couldn’t stop laughing when one of the golden guernsey’s took a bite of the paper bag while Mum wasn’t looking!

[@CotswoldFarmPark]

Fantastic! Aha, they are such cheeky characters!

[@lindamarshall8279]

Hey Jeremy, how blessed you are to live nearby and be able to visit with your Mum. Enjoy the farm and feeding everyone for me! Australia is a little too far for me to be able to go to the farm! However, I would definitely 💕 to.

[@The_Dee_Jay]

@@lindamarshall8279 Hey Linda yes very lucky to be just 2.5hrs away from the place by car. I’m sure if you ever make the trip over the goats will STILL be hungry! Although on the flip side I’m sure there’s many amazing places in Australia I’d love visiting too 😊

[@CotswoldFarmPark]

@@The_Dee_Jay can confirm... they'll still be peckish!😅

Brilliant video. Well done. We have 12 goats just as pets, golden Guernsey, we started to breed them but during selling the kids the weirdos saw that we never had the horns removed (which i think should be banned) so we never sold any. After realising that we stopped breeding and kept them as pets, complete with horns. Never looked back. Fortunately we can afford it but it can be hard work sometimes especially in foul weather but you take the rough with the smooth. You didnt mention how bad the male goats smell 😂😂 unlike the wethers. We gave our male goat away to a breeder and crossed our fingers it would be looked after. Meanwhile our pet goats continue to live it up. Wasnt aware of a liquid for the mites i have to confess, im going to look out for some now, that would explain the walking along the wite fence pushing hard to scratch themselves, although no bald spots on any. Also we have a problem keeping in their eartags. A lot of our goat's have torn ears became they stick their heads in the wire fence and catch the tag. If i ever buy any new goats, which i doubt i will now at my age i would go for Anglo Nubian, its their long floppy ears i love about them. 😁

[@CotswoldFarmPark]

We'll probably mention the billy odour around tupping time 😂 Love that you keep pet Guernseys, we don't tell the others but they're our favourite ;)

Wonderful video, lovely goats.

[@lindamarshall8279]

Hello from Australia, I love 💕 your channel. I think your Father would be VERY proud of you and how you have managed his legacy. It is wonderful to see all of the conservation work you have done and are still doing. I also love Fran’s Friday talks. Today’s talk was excellent, a very clear introduction for anyone considering keeping goats. We live in suburbia so it’s not possible for us. However, they are such friendly gregarious creatures that I would love to have some! Thanks for today’s video, it’s always fun to see around your farm. 😀🦘🐨🇦🇺

Bless you, thank you so much for your kind words 😊 hope life across the pond treats you well!

[@anyaignatieva8325]

Very informative and entertaining, thank you for this!

[@CotswoldFarmPark]

A pleasure, do you plan to keep goats?

[@anyaignatieva8325]

@@CotswoldFarmPark yes we will be moving onto an old farm next year and goats and ducks have always been my dream but I've no farming experience, so am starting to learn. I've watched a few of your other videos and they're all really helping me to recognise the ebbs and flows of the year and how it all works. Thank you!

[@CotswoldFarmPark]

@@anyaignatieva8325 Fantastic, best of luck with it, how exciting! Do let us know if we can be of any other assistance, always happy to help!

Shelter goat forming and outside like this video type of form which one better ....

[@rogerrogers7393]

Just wondered if you could do a video on a guide to keep sheep ?

[@CotswoldFarmPark]

Sounds like a plan to us! 😊

[@zonedoutentertainment4778]

Paperwork for owning goats? Sounds like a control thing.

[@Farfromhere001]

You need PERMITS for goats in UK? Wow! Glad I live in USA/Peru!

[@jase123111]

Yep Uk has way too many laws and regulations. No freedom. They are making us register our chickens now 😅

[@YOYO-ew8mp]

can you talk about severe bloat? My vet filled her full of more water and meds till she was so full it kill her. didnt let the air out of her ruman and i had no idea how so asked him but he didnt. she died screaming, we are truamatise

[@CotswoldFarmPark]

Great insights, thank you!

I enjoy goat cheese…stronger the better. In the. Southwest USA goat meat can be found in various Mexican dishes…also very fond of that too. Goats are quite intelligent and mischievous, which makes them a lot of fun. My former mother in law and her husband had a small herd after they retired, which I could spend a lot of time watching.

[@Rin_Evans]

I thought male and female goats where called bucks and does like deer

[@Pixie3p14]

Do any of your farmparks have English goats? I'm interesting in starting a small herd of rare breed goats for cheesemaking, and as much as I adore the bagots I don't think they produce enough for that sort of venture.

[@CotswoldFarmPark]

We don't have any English or Old English Goats unfortunately, we do however have a strong Golden Guernsey breeding programme. They're great for milk production. If you'd like either of the English breeds, we'd advise contacting the RBST, who can put you in contact with reputable farmers/breeders. 👍

[@samanthabrookes3604]

Hi, can you keep full size goats with pygmies or do they need different paddocks and shelters

[@CotswoldFarmPark]

We've only had positive experiences with running them together with other breeds of goat. A neighbour also runs a few amongst a herd of 40+, so you should be fine!

Can someone help please. How's the best way to get land.. looking at rent. But can't seem to find any.. majority of land is for sale.. way way over my budget x

[@donnacosta5633]

Many people are buying farmland in countries where prices are still low, such as in Portugal, plenty of land for sale for less than 1 Euro per square meter. Check these KZbin videos: "Alex Farms Off Grid" and "Farmer for Fun" as examples of what's available. You may also be able to rent land very cheaply, there's a lot of abandoned farmland in Portugal, owners would be pleased to rent it to anyone wanting to farm. My family has some.

[@annedonnellan6876]

Maybe also in interior spain deserted villages around soria

[@gentianvandewerken929]

The ancient goats are wonderful/the ear tags and conventional goat keeping meh!

[@andrewkoehn6619]

Sounds like you need to demand your government to get off your back with the protection fees, I mean permission slips, I mean licensing. It is none of their business what you own, it is your property.

[@dahof2789]

Hahaha need a license to own a goat!! Too funny.

[@tregennafarm187]

[@robertprice6758]

All that paperwork and licencing is gross

Someone give me this goat breed 🥲

[@CotswoldFarmPark]

Which one, the Bagot?

[@virtual_finger]

Yup😊

[@mariaelenakennedy]

We don’t need to do this in the USA

[@DE2borknot2b]

Don't need to do what? I'm in the US & my state requires if I bring in an animal from another state, I have to fill out forms. Buying in state, no. I'm glad it was pointed out about the rocks as goats jump/climb upon the rocks it wears their hoofs down.

[@adamtholander8214]

This sounds like a pyramid scheme. You buy a goat from him and then try to sell more goats to other people in order to get your money back.😂

[@chantelletaylor3430]

I have seen goats kids separated from their mums when they are 7 days old, the look on their little faces were very sad and their cries were the saddest thing I heard 😭😭😭 Goats dairy Farming are an abomination.

[@Paulco67]

It seems against the laws of nature to separate a mother from its child…
