Love your video! I really appreciate your tip about doing a smaller amount of work every day instead of putting it off; I just started working for a horse boarder and I instantly thought about how it’s easier to shovel one days worth of poop than it is the shovel two lol. God bless your family, you’re doing a wonderful job up there :)

[@beckyprebeck8787]

I go out in the morning and let out my buck and 2 wethers with our great pyrenees and 2 cows. I feed all of them, and my 2 does. Then in the afternoon, I put the boys and great pyrenees back up, and let my girls out and feed everybody a little snack. Lastly, I'll go out around 4:30-4:45 and put up the girls for the night, and feed everyone. And of course, make sure they have water through out the day. We are setting up another pen and building for my boys and bull, so I'm super excited cause I won't have to switch them out in the middle of the day. So they will get more outside time😁💜.

[@DelcifromALifeofHeritage]

That is exciting! It’s so nice to make progress and life a little bit easier! Lucky goats!

[@whoevenasked3136]

[@stefanivanderstappen39]

My daily routine is very simple I give them grain and hay in the morning and the same in the afternoon but adding water! My favorite part is seeing the frost on my two Ladies backs!

[@DelcifromALifeofHeritage]

That is so cool! And when it’s really cold but the sun is out and they have steam rising off their backs. Amazing how they stay warm!

[@Samuel_Gerner698]

beautiful, I love the simple way of life, being in nature/country is amazing. Its funny I told my dad im a city boy when growing up but after living in the city there is nothing more I want but to be out in nature or in the countrysdie

[@DelcifromALifeofHeritage]

We'll be getting our dirt two Alpine goat kids this spring/summer and I'm SUPER excited!! It'll be awhile until we can get any milk but I found your video helpful, especially since you said you homeschool and from my guess, you're also a SAHM like myself. We will be starting schooling this year most likely so it's helpful to see how you do things!

[@Erebdai]

Cool video, we have a homestead in Wisconsin. We have six goats we want to raise dairy goats too. Our girls are full grown, but boys are still growing. We have 45 hens who lay every day. Any more will be tought to manage with both of us working full time.

[@ecobluefarms223]

I’m inspired Once I work out some unexpected details I’ll share with you how God used your video to not be discouraged And change my mind about getting my goats ❤

[@stevefarms7494]

I love having goats because they are fun to watch and have around and I never have to buy milk from the store and there's so much that can be made from goats milk and it's a lot healthier compared to cows .. great video thank you for sharing

[@joannemercado6561]

Hi Delci, I love watching your videos, in fact I started my little goat farm confident because of you. Right now, I have 3 Wethers I will be getting a couple more over the next few months my plan is to get one in milk. Right now, my routine is pretty simple I clean out their shelter by removing any wet straw or hay clean out their water and feed bowls. Fill up the hay feeder outside with hay and give them their morning feed. Evening routine is a place their feeder tray inside refill their water for the night give them fresh hay. I will be putting a bench outside of their paddock so I can sit there in he mornings and watch them eat and roam my property, I find it to be my therapy and love being around them. I watch all your videos and have your GOAT BINDER.

[@rainbowvixen1429]

I’m going to be getting some does soon actually. Looking forward to it! My husband has a friend nearby with a buck and I knew as soon as I met his wife that I HAD to do it. Finally I was able to talk him into it with their help. 😹 We’ll be sharing the dairy, and if we decide to, the meat as well. We live in a cookie cutter neighborhood with very little space, but plenty of people around us have their own livestock; chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, pigs and even a cow! We keep ducks. Eventually, I’d love to find a place with some acres. Then I can really make a more cost efficient mostly self sustaining homestead. But I’m getting my practice hours in. Thank you for sharing your experience! I can’t wait to start my dairy goat journey. ❤️

[@highroad3580]

My routine looks very much like yours. What type of pellet do you feed? My favorite part is milking, but playing with and watching the kids is pretty fun! Like you if I don’t keep up with the shed clean out, it builds up. I use a potato rake with an old license plate zip tied to it and scrape up dusty loose stuff. Then use a regular potato rake on the hay and for deep cleaning a potato fork works well. Last winter we had a big build up of hay and poo in the shed so we used the small back hoe on the tractor. 😀

I don't have goats yet, but my favorite part of the morning (and evening) is going out to take care of my chickens. ☺️ So I'm sure I will LOVE taking care of the goats too when they come. Also... How fast do goats go through their minerals?

I spend my days kid sitting, And take them out on the farm for exercise. Till there big enough to join my other goats.

They hadn’t had kids on them for months. I weaned them back in July or so. And it’s totally possible to milk once a day in routine. 😊 Once they were weaned that’s actually what I started doing till I stop milking altogether in the next couple weeks

What are the trace minerals that you give goats

[@nikkiharris3333]

Hi! I know this video is old, so you may not see this… I find it hard to let 1 goat in whilst keeping the others back? I have them coming in the same order each day but they push and shove a d the wrong one come in then trying to push her out and get the right one - how did you get yours going to calmly in order? It ruins the time as it’s stressful. Last year we had one in milk so it wasn’t so bad though still hard to let her in and not the others… this time we’ve just started with the 3 last week. Maybe it will come in time? Xx

How much do you feed them when you are milking them?

[@DelcifromALifeofHeritage]

I have a scoop I'm using. Some of the girls eat all of it and some of them don't. Don't do more than a 1.5 pounds a day. And if you aren't feeding grain yet and then start giving it to them, start out with a very small amount and then increase it slowly to get them used to it 😊
