That’s new to me. You have the LGD wearing the bell?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

No the lead herd goat wears the bell

[@claudegibbs9249]

Beautiful goats, good imfo.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Thank you for watching

New subscriber. Love your feeding system. Metal troughs are so much better than plastic (I don't own goats, but my friends do; and their goats have broken so many plastic feeders.)

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Thank You for subscribing I appreciate it

[@wisewoman7906]

@@BoisDArcKikos - I care for a disabled woman (wheelchair bound) who still wants to homestead - she wants to get some goats for clearing the underbrush in the forest we live in. I think she wants to get Spanish goats. Says they need nothing but a LGD to watch over them. I feel they will need *some* care. Do you have any insights to share? They will not be my goats, and I'm not keen on having to care for them, but once they get here, I know I'll step up to the plate.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

She’s pretty much right. Just make sure you have a good fence. Spanish goats are pretty hardy too.

[@FowlerFamilyFarm]

Just getting caught up on videos. Great video, great explanation of flushing. Do you get that feed somewhere in Oklahoma or do you get it in Texas? On to your next video

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Thank you. I appreciate you watching. I got it from Durant Oklahoma

[@oshanegoatfarm421]

keep it up

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Thanks for watching

[@CynthiasCraftsandmore]

Hi Josh, with leaving the bags open do you have a problem with the varmints getting into the feed? Thank you for explaining about flushing the goats. I have only seen this done with a sheep channel I watch. Thank you for sharing! Hugs and love to you and your family. ❤️✝🤗 Have a beautiful and blessed week. God Bless ❤️✝🤗

[@BoisDArcKikos]

We don’t have problems with that. We put a heavy pallet on to of the bag so that helps. Hopefully we will get a grain buggy. Thanks for watching

[@pasttime8450]

That feed does look great

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Thanks for watching

[@fredoramram4559]

Can’t wait to see you new goats 😎.,.. Can sell me 2 o 3 those?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Looking forward to the new kids too. Yea I can sale you some. Thanks for watching

[@gingerreid8569]

Good information! We have been feeding our does/bucks every other day some grain along with pasture...we want to breed in December, so we have April kids...so should we up the feed to daily 2 weeks before breeding as well? Also loved seeing Cowboy's Dad out there...Cowboy is just a great lgd...very very pleased with him!

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Good to hear. Thanks for watching

[@matthewmcdonald24]

How is your brindle male Puppy you got at the sale

[@BoisDArcKikos]

He’s doing good. Learning a lot. Thanks for watching

[@jimbuford4147]

I have a question if you don't mind. I have limited acreage and can't rotate effectively but to help control parasites would a dry lot with good hay and grain as needed work as basically nothing on the ground to eat? Thanks. Great goats and operation you have.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Yea that would work too. Dry lot with good hay and feed will most definitely flush them before breeding. Thanks for watching

[@irenemariebelanger3758]

You are doing real well , let's keep that weight going down

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Thank you

[@jaicimurcia9271]

You have some beautiful does! Are they all 100% kikos, or do you keep crosses as well? What do you look for in a doe/doeling to keep in your herd?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Thank you. Most are 100% I have a few purebreds & commercial too. I look for mothering ability taking care of kids & milking ability. I look at frame & growth too. Thanks for watching

[@monicaluketich3106]

What all is in that feed? My girls are looking a bit skinny and need that.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

It has chopped up corn pressed oats silage. We get it at hardy farms in Durant Oklahoma. It’s a 16% protein.

[@monicaluketich3106]

@@BoisDArcKikos Dumb city woman here - are you saying that it is a mixture of chopped up corn (stocks or heads of corn?) and fermented oats? Trying to figure out how I could make it. Don't know who would have it in my area.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Heads of corn and rolled oats. We also add black sunflower seeds to it ourselves

[@bigcountry4900]

On average, when one of your doe's produce only a single kid, is there a significant difference in growth rate vs one having twins or triplets?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Yes a big difference. Singles out weight all other kids

[@SunfireWoods]

Do you do anything for your bucks to prep them for breeding? Copper bolus, vaccine boosters, feed changes? I'm new to goats this year andcill be getting a few kikos in a couple weeks. We also have LaManchas I'll be breeding in the Fall.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Yea I plan on doing a video on getting our bucks ready for breeding. Thanks for watching

[@katiehester27]

Is this the only time you feed the 16%? What do you feed on a daily routine?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

Right now while the grass is green we don’t feed. We flush a month before breeding then a month before kidding we feed it. We feed a little while kids are nursing too. Thanks for watching

[@katiehester27]

@@BoisDArcKikos Thank you for the information. We are just getting started and really enjoy watching your channel.

Your welcome Glad the videos help!

What is the one long-haired nanny?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

She’s a 100% New Zealand. Yea she needs a trim. She always has long hair. Thanks for watching

[@johndoe4502]

Where do you get your feed? I am in Texas but don’t see who sells in bulk.

[@BoisDArcKikos]

I get it from Hardy Farms in Durant Oklahoma. Thanks for watching

@@BoisDArcKikos thanks for posting. Always learning from you. Soon as I get out of the desert and back south, hope to raise a trip of goats.

[@trav-meags9778]

Why not just get a 2 ton bin and have your feed store come to you?

[@BoisDArcKikos]

That would be nice
