I liked the good practical advise with out going into the preachy organic, herbal medicine, rhetoric. Just well researched nutritional information which is hard to come by on you tube. Thank you.

Such a nice compliment thank you! I very much feel we can achieve a balance between holistic and typical western medicine. If we close our minds to either pathway we miss out on so much. Both schools of thought have a lot to offer us

This is incredibly detailed and well presented - you're a great speaker, and I think it's really cool how integrated you are with your youtube community given how busy you must be! I'm really enjoying soaking this information up. I am curious about loosely planning a "goat strategy" for myself, in the future. What I'm thinking is that I would have goats serving two purposes: milk and as pack carriers for hunting/trekking. From what I've gathered it would be good to start with two females. Are there any breeds that you would recommend for this dual purpose? How would you approach expanding the population given these goals? I realize the answer is likely "it depends", but I'd be very grateful for your perspective! Hope all is well with you.

Very true! It depends on a lot of variables. I would like to reserve a male as well and wether him to use as a pack goat at some point I think it would be a lot of fun. I am biased towards LaMancha as they are big sturdy goats and produce HEAPS of milk so for the dairy aspect not many breeds beat them. As for packing that much I am not sure but one advantage is that LaManchas are famously very quiet animals which may lend some usefulness when out and about especially for hunting

I’ve had horses for 35 years most of those providing their care myself. I have always been a feed,nutrition and husbandry nerd. I think we are going to get along. 😉

Loved the video! I have one thing to consider. Horse quality hay = treated hay that has been sprayed with herbicide to kill all broad leaf plants that goats love. Same for the legume hay unless organic which is where your higher protein is. So cow hay if it has not been rained on or musty/dusty is a great hay for goats. Cow hay means not pure types of grasses but mixtures including some weeds, horses won't eat it but goats love it. I letting you know all this because this season we got some horse hay and all out compost/manure goes to feed our land after the goats get done with it. The poison in the leftover hay killed a row of tomato plants, so it is no good for nothing. These days you just have to be real careful with hay. Again thanks for the video I will be looking for the Purina brand from now on. Blessings

Hmm, I wonder if maybe it's a regional vernacular thing. I was always told that cow hay = rubbish hay that has been out in the wet and sometimes is even partially fermented sometimes. Horse quality hay has always meant for me that it is fine of stem, low dust, and in general the highest quality. Spraying and if its organic has always been a separate metric that I do also look for in my own hay selection because like you I use my wasted hay to bed down crops and use as a weed barrier as well as in my compost. Thanks for stopping by i am so glad you enjoyed the video ❤

@@TheNamelessHomestead oh no, the fermented hay is the hay wrapped completely in plastic, it is called haylege and is suppose to be like that. No farmer let's their hay get wet on purpose, but mother nature has her way sometime. Even that hay is okay if dried out again properly but the quality and nutrition goes way down. Normally cow hay is a mix, but it and every other type of hay should be checked. Glad I found your channel. there are a lot of homestead channels with goats, but not much goat knowledge. Blessings

Do you have a scur removal video? I need to address this soon. Love your information presentation. Where do you get your knowledge/ information?
@TheNamelessHomestead2 жыл бұрын
No, I don't at the moment I haven't tried to remove them ever. I am glad you are enjoying the videos! My education comes from a mix of hands-on "the hard way" experience, lengthy chats with wiser people that I know IRL, online research, and really good animal husbandry groups on places like Facebook.
