Enjoy your videos. Great Job

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank you Larry Forrester !!!

[@OldesouthFarm]

Tip's Dehorning looks great! Glad I could Help you all out on that one. Bring the new baby as soon as you get her and will be a lot less stress. Love your Videos!!

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank You TB!!!

[@johnnovick1643]

Looks like so much nicer weather than up here in New Hampshire.Is Alabama good for growing vegetables year round? The towns do not give people a hard time for having various animals on their property?

[@CogHillFarm]

Thanks john novick !! You can grow year round but we still get hard freezes and our lowest temps are in the high 20's, but our winters are short lived.....and seem to be getting shorter every year. And for the most part, a lot of Alabama is rural & those small rural towns could careless about small livestock....the biggest/closest city to me is Selma, population around 17,500(give or take) and you can have chickens in the city, & there are certain things & criteria you have to do for larger animals, such as a horse etc Hey thanks for commenting & asking!!!

[@marciajenkins819]

Tip, in the swing, caused me to laugh out loud. I really enjoy the way you insert quick things to compliment the story. Fun video. Great job on the shelter.

[@CogHillFarm]

Lol, Thank you Marcia Jenkins !!

[@sarahmannluker7528]

Do you ever slow down, or do you stay busy all day? I'd love to have your energy!

[@CogHillFarm]

Lol Sarah L ....honestly, I do not stop. :) thanks!!

[@lilbitatatime3763]

Another project completed ~ check it off the list. Well done! Can't wait to see Tip with his new friend. tfs

Hi..... Thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

[@fredstanley5758]

That's looks awesome! Reused, recycled and repurposed allowing you to keep some coin in your pocket. Yep, that's what I'm talking about right there! 👍😉

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank you Addiegirl's Country Home !!!! Money don't grow on trees around here ;)

[@JRCHomesteadTexas]

Pampered goats. Great job.

[@CogHillFarm]

Super idea. I loved it. Thankssss

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank you!-Jason

[@shawnfrye5987]

Looks good

[@adamdean1636]

Cool goat barn

[@CharlieFultonSC]

You mentioned a tin roof - just curious if you did a flat roof or a "pitched" one? (I know nothing about roofs"

[@CogHillFarm]

It's flat but with a slight pitch so the water will run off....sorta like what an outhouse roof would look like. I'll try to do an update and show the finished product this week! Thanks Charlie Fulton !

[@lizpurvis2386]

Great job

[@thiscottagetable3021]

Your barn sounds interesting. I would like to see a tour of it to help give us ideas about our future little homestead. ;)

[@CogHillFarm]

Great idea!! Thanks for the suggestion!!-Jason

[@onedazinn998]

Nice! Wow nice that you have all the tools too! :)

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank you!!

love it

[@CogHillFarm]

Thanks you!

[@wamplertube]

Oh that's a super fancy house, should work nicely! I'm always inspired by what you come up with! Plus I know it's difficult to do projects like this and film them simultaneously, your videos always flow nicely! Have a great day sir. :-)

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank you so much Dylan Wampler !!!

[@austinvickymoore3656]

haha love that little guy

[@CogHillFarm]

Lol, thanks My Domain69 !!!

[@muanlalsimte2689]

Sir, Your goat looks like mine😍😍

[@jackicomber8534]

Where's the four poster bed?

[@CogHillFarm]

Ha! Now that's funny right there!!!!

[@missourigirl4101]

How do you know how to build all this stuff?

[@CogHillFarm]

Just a lot of jumping in and figuring things out as I go 😊.....I have the sink or swim mentality

[@nicolafrench3977]

How much did the shed cost you?

[@shermdog6969]

3 years later still waiting for milking videos.😁

[@KeatShadows]

Where you going to put their TV ??? ,,,,lol. Hey, what state do you live in, that area looks beautiful.

[@CogHillFarm]

Lol! We are in Central Alabama & thank you Capricorn

[@MeansWorks]

This is completely unrelated, but I think you look a lot like a guy named BdoubleO100

[@CogHillFarm]

LOL, I just looked & I can see that....I was also told this week that I look like Tai Lopez too.

[@ReliableCadillacGMCSelma]

[@yeager31]

[@kingofthekoopas8857]

Rest In Peace mama sorry for your loss fellow goat person!!!

[@124bucket]

i cannot take that music

[@lifeastrevor6612]

Him : put together a awesome goat house Me: struggling to make a store bought bird house

[@simon.houseaccount4807]

Love the music,,its a good add on,,, great video mate.,,@marcus

[@lynordb]

cool video, but wondering what you feed them Hay in, and keep it dry, and them from wasting so much of it?

[@CogHillFarm]

I hung a small goat hay rack that you can buy at just about any feed/farm supply store...thanks Lynard Brock. I will find one & send you a link later today

[@palfrodelarsen6342]

The tin wall should be outside and an inch below the floor. Now as it is the rain will migrate inside the shed.

[@CogHillFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion Pål Frode Larsen, the video is a week behind, & I did add a 2x4 strip on the front side & sealed it with silicone caulk and I sealed the tin to floor gap with silicone caulk as well, & I think that will work, But you are correct....thanks again!!!

[@SevenSproutsFarmstead]

I love the music on here Jason!! Good work bud! Jenn Stone Seven Sprouts Homestead LLC Nicholls, GA

[@LunaticDad]

Your a busy man😎😆😎😆

[@CogHillFarm]

Hahaha, yes! Always! Thanks buddy

[@ChickaWoofRanch]

I like the rocks at the front of the building. They don't like water (even a little bit) especially walking through it. Our goats are on grass 100% of the time and the hoof trimming is difficult to keep up with when they do not have anything to wear them down naturally. Nice job!

[@CogHillFarm]

Thanks Chick-a-Woof Ranch !!!

[@lisakukla459]

What are some good things to have around for them to walk on?

[@chopwoodfarm1974]

I envy your layout. By the way, I gave you a shout out in my last video. If you watch it you will wince and tremble.

[@CogHillFarm]

If you are talking about the one where you got in a great cardio workout from moving that Salatin tractor...actually watched it LOL & gave it a thumbs up...my phone, for some strange reason, would not let me comment on it! But thank you, & I was cussing with you!

[@chopwoodfarm1974]

+Cog Hill Farm & Homestead That's the one! Thanks!

[@lynnclark4208]

Watching this November 2022. Oh my! Mary Carl is so little. I DID ENJOY THE VIDEO.

[@philipdileo3750]

I’m looking to get goats. I live on Long Island it’s in NY. What did you use for a roof? Iv been looking for a decent goat house to build or buy. Any suggestions?

[@Ungovernable74]

Nice work

[@CogHillFarm]

Thanks Off Grid Nation !!

[@LyndaAnneArt]

That was so cute!! I love it. Also the filming and editing is really well done. The family is adorable. But you are not finished - I want to see it with the roof. And I want to see the goats all moved in. Please. =)

[@CogHillFarm]

I sure will show it.

[@LyndaAnneArt]

Can't wait!!

[@dreamcrocheter]

A question. Around 3:31 you have these cement corner things that look like they came premade. Is there a name for them? They look really convenient...

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Now, that is what I call a goat house that actually takes into consideration the nature of the goat! VERY impressed!

[@jondrennan9952]

what a great video, very enjoyable to watch, now i have to go build a shelter for my male goats since they destroyed my first attempt. strong little sh>ts!

[@DL-by8el]

Music is a little annoying. Looks cozy just fed my neighbors goats.

[@sheps4hershomestead]

That Tip sure is a character!! Will he be residing in there with the other goats or will he always be a "house Goat"? He sure does like following you around. Thanks for another entertaining video. :-) Great job on the shelter by the way!

[@CogHillFarm]

Oh yes he is! He will be in there with the new baby doe we will getting this weekend, but he will still be let out when we are down there, and still be treated like a pet...and thank you!!

[@No_Offense_Brah]

Do you offer carpentry help. I can weld but can't get my carpentry skills up to par.

[@ronaldlarimer]

I just ran across your channel and subscribed. Checking your past videos you talked about selecting a breed of chicken. I do not have chickens now but I suggest you check out "Breese" chickens. Fast growing and heavy egg layer 200-250 per year. If you answer this tell me what state you are in please, I will be checking some of your past videos and may figure it out but just curious, I am in Ohio.

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank you Ron Larimer !! We are in Alabama...and I know that breed well...we actually only can get the American version here...the original is from Breese France, which is illegal to export....an amazing breed and the French claim it is the best tasting chicken in the world...and are they are actually the colors of the French Flag, Blue Feet, White Body, and Red Comb....and I also have incorporated the way the French feed the Breese in the last 4 weeks, with our own meat chickens, & that is adding lots of goats milk to their diet. And I do appreciate you suggesting it with me...I may actually try the American Breese sometime in the near future. Thanks again!!

[@ronaldlarimer]

I had just heard of the breed and looked into them myself I plan on getting a few chickens again this year just to teach my grand kids where eggs and chicken nuggets come from. I have only watched a few of your videos so far and enjoy them. Had I watched more I may have known better than to think you had not heard of them but I hadn't. I will be watching more of your past videos soon. Thank you.

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank you for the kind words!! And It really is not a very well known breed here in the states, but I've seen its popularity starting to grow, & of course the French claim the American version is an imposter and is garbage. LOL Thanks again!!!

[@ronaldlarimer]

As I understand it they can't be called Bresse unless they are from Bresse region of France? They must think it is some kind of wine.

[@CogHillFarm]

Yes! They are very very proud and very very protective of the breed...you should google a dinner in France with that as the main course and see how much it would cost....very expensive!!

[@intentionallymade]

How is this holding up now? Is there anything you would change?

[@erikjohnson8193]

looking good! You are an energizer bunny LOL and that pig is not! LOL! loving the vids

[@gxhdhshhsjshsjsj]

LOVE IT!!! & Peaches!!!

[@DaybirdAviaries]

Very Nice! "Super Fancy!" I love Tip swinging. I need to make a video of our George.

[@CogHillFarm]

Thanks Daybird!!!!!

[@driverkpk]

What do you about predators at night and when your away?? Thanks!!

[@dalebaker9788]

The floor will get wet because tin is touching floor. Tin should be on outside so it runs off.

[@SethHall117]

Awesome video! I just found your channel and thinking of getting a goat or two in a few weeks. Are all your goats the smaller ones? Your fence didn't seem very high and that's one thing I'm concerned about when I start building my pin. I don't want to be goat chasing because it's too low lol.

[@CogHillFarm]

Awesome The Hall Hobby Farm &!thank you! Yes, our goats are the little ones, Nigerian dwarfs, and my fencing is 4' high, & I don't think they can get out of it...just be cautious about any corner braces, bc they can climb very well, and do not hang any type of feeder on the fencing either. Also, the only reason that I used the split rail wooden fence, is just bc of the location of our pen...it's just for looks really....if the goat pen was somewhere else, I'd prob use, no climb-goat fencing instead. Thanks again & good luck!!

[@_mrv_]

Subscribed specifically because I like your video editing.

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank you O. Hartigan ! I really appreciate that!

[@sultanofthesands1]

you sound like jamie kennedy in Malibus most wanted

[@jeromealbarina1421]

This is my dream thank you of all your ideas

[@CharlysGardenSchoolg]

Trying to create a chicken-duck-goat house where the ducks are safe from my sweet but energetic Saanan wether, and everyone has their own entrance/exit to the safe-zone (predator-proof pen). Hoping to get a good start from your ideas... Thanks.

[@CogHillFarm]

Awesome!!!! and thank you, good luck....pls come back and let me know how it came out!! y'all take care-Jason

[@MickSupper]

You must be cajun with your accent.

[@ashleyb5706]

Lol peaches giving piggy 🐷rides! Great job on the goat house, they'll love it 🐐🐐

[@CogHillFarm]

lol thank you Ashley B !!

[@MommyMoneyMatters]

Did you put anything down on the wood floor, or seal it, to prevent urine soaking into it?

[@CogHillFarm]

I did not do anything special..I just used treated plywood & put old hay down in the bottom, but I am guessing you could put something down like a polyurethane maybe...I hope that helped, but Great question though, & thank you for asking! -Jason

[@javmichel2068]

Thank you so much!! Loved your video

[@Rattlerjake1]

So it's been three years, how much water has leaked in because the metal siding doesn't overlap the outside edge if the floor?

[@CogHillFarm]

Zero leakage 👍

[@FernHillOhio]

Ha ha! Another great one. I think that is going to work out just perfect for them. Great use of space by opening up that fence AND even using those fence boards in the project! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the inside of that barn. Thanks for letting us tag along!

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank you CopingWithTheTimes !!!

[@michelleccutler2690]

Showed this to my husband. He really liked it. We will be using this plan for ours.

[@CogHillFarm]

Awesome!!!!

[@thebabygoat4503]

You should buy a sawmill so you can cut your own logs

[@john2smith1956]

dude, I love your videos & style. this was excellent! love it and I know all your goats will too. so glad I found this channel. keep it up and lol at that pig

[@karlenrose]

Your Rock Dude !Thanks for going to the trouble to share this ...

[@anybodydarling]

I’m going to try this. What are those cinder blocks called that you use for the floor and frame?

[@CogHillFarm]

Think they are called deck blocks

[@sheepyhollowhomestead1873]

Question, Do you have a video showing the construction of your barn? Our farm is in the process of building our barn, and we can settle on a design.

[@CogHillFarm]

I sure wish I did, but, I built that almost 10 years ago.

[@mohammadafroz8833]

Very good condition with the new York

[@Mom2NNK]

Love your channel! Keep up the great work! You are about as crazy as I am, so I am always dragging my daughter over to watch your videos. "Look! He has a goat in his house! So I am not the only crazy one out there." She thinks I am nuts cause I have our pig, rabbits, and some chickens over wintering in the house. Lol

[@CogHillFarm]

LOL!! Folks like us are not crazy....we are just gifted!!! ;) Thanks you!

[@kerrieg.2121]

luv. such a gr8 house and video. thx for sharing

[@kOiGuh]

Do you have to worry about predators?

[@rhondamontiel3827]

Nice job. Sure wish I had a handy guy around my place! Lol

[@tcs5256]

Omg your goats have it made LOL, and so does Peaches 😂

[@CogHillFarm]

Thanks you TC S!

[@CharlieFultonSC]

Hello we loved your video - going to build this for our two goats - two French alpines.

[@CogHillFarm]

Awesome Charlie Fulton !!!!!!!

[@usakiwi5222]

LOVE IT - Goat palace! BUT WAIT...the roof...what material are you using on the roof??

[@CogHillFarm]

going to get metal roofing..I go to the salvage yard at the hardware store & hopefully they will have so mis-cut pieces that no one wants & I can get Cheap! ;)

[@usakiwi5222]

That sounds like a great plan!

[@davem145mxr]

What did you use for the roof ?

[@fiveacrehaven]

nice work! I really enjoyed the video!

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank you Becker's Backyard Homestead !!!!

[@francislambert5189]

Wow...3 years ago..! You Have Done Well...All Of You;Tip, Peaches, Rod, JP,...Peace :)

[@peggylindenthaler6503]

LOL that is something else! A cat rolling around on a pig, lol. I have never ever seen anything so cute!

[@CogHillFarm]

LOLOLOL

[@50shadesofgreen]

awesome job Jason !! what are them concrete blocks called as i need to buy some for a job i am planning in my garden 👨‍🌾👍🎥✝

[@CogHillFarm]

Not quite for what you call them, but Lowe’s or home Dept have them. Even our lil local place called Marvin’s has them, so they should be hard to find.

[@krisbastian]

[@turboparks8387]

Yo I was the 2k like 😀

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti1663]

...so THIS is what the IRS was talking about!

[@ruthraybarrett1266]

Love it! Hope Tip makes the transition. Do you plan to let them out to forage, or just feed hay all year? How will you keep them out of the garden?

[@CogHillFarm]

Good question....and I am sure, when they are older, we will let them out as long as we are out there with them, but I do have fences around my gardens, so I am ok there....the main thing I would worry about them destroying, would be our roses and blackberries. Thanks!

[@colleenrodamer6230]

Great idea just make sure rain does get to u n the goats God bless

[@genevievegreene1595]

Looks great. It would get too hot here though. I might go with cement blocks up four feet and then wire above that.

[@CogHillFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@jimbocena6898]

Would you recommend a dwarf or pygmy?

[@CogHillFarm]

We absolutely love our Nigerian dwarfs!

[@carolutley6523]

🐐🐐🐐

[@TexasRoadrunners]

I would love to see a video on all things "Tip". He's so cute.

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank you!!! 😊

[@lisakukla459]

That looks so so nice!! Good job, friend!!

[@helenhelps9619]
