They Forgot How to be Goats!

[@joanharris8057]

No farmers, no food! Our hearts go out to all the farmers and ranchers experiencing prolonged high temps and no rain. We dairy farmed for about 30 years and understand how dependent we are for rain for growing crops. One year it was so dry it reminded me of Elijah’s time and we looked for a cloud and prayed for rain.

[@luadraponies]

Drought is crushing.

[@rosawilliams9145]

Sad. My brother sold half our cows so we had less to feed. My mom cried cause all the cows My dad had when he was living are gone.

[@wadja62]

How about a water pump that runs off a PTO on your tractor. Fire hose and a line of sprinklers. Pump water from the creek. The creek always has water. Use it when you need it, like now... Get them pastures green again...

[@patcollins2591]

Hey a water pump hooked up to creek and use water for field.

[@delanomiller]

Sorry you and all farmers are suffering during this drought. Prayers you receive rain soon. God bless you all.

[@marydanen5220]

Praying for you and all the farmers suffering from the drought. God's blessings❤

[@KevinNeedham1961]

Put a pump in the creek up to a sprinkler in the pasture for your grass if allowed

[@patriciapetrone864]

So sorry for you and other farmers who are suffering from the heat and drought! I feel so sorry for all the animals! I pray fall and cool weather comes sooner than later and brings 🌧 rain ☔️ and cool weather with it. 😊

I love this content. Just a family spending time with their animals & each other, doing chores and living life.

[@nanachris7376]

It's brutal here in Utah also. Our snowpack last winter was lacking, to say the least. The Great Salt Lake has been reduced to puddles to the point that one could walk out to the islands without getting your feet wet. I'm 70 years old and I've never seen The Lake completely disappear. It is scary!

Isn't there some way you can utilize your creek for watering some of your pastures? Get a 2 inch trash pump and draw water from your creek to some sort of a sprinkler

Complete feel your pain. I'm in South East Texas in the Gulf area. We have had 2 inches of rain at my house in the last 2 months and been triple digits for almost 3 mos. I'm a small farm and my pasture is almost a dirt lot now. Praying for rain and cooler temps!

[@shelleycrouch3084]

Praying for lots of rain to grow the pastures.❤️🙏🙏🙏I also received my packages today..loving the cap.

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Things here in Michigan look the same as y'alls do.its Ben in the high 90's here and very humid 🥵. Everybody needs a week if a nice long rain👍🤓👍. Y'all stay safe. The outdoor shower probably is getting a good workout with this hot weather! Great job Daniel

[@fuzzylop9164]

It has been interesting watching Lester's goats foraging. It took them a couple of weeks to learn to forage. They still get a little grain but now it's just a snack and a small amount. Praying for all the farmers. Unfortunately many of the farms have lost animals do to the heat. It's so sad.

[@donnaelkins186]

Great video. Praying 🙏 for everyone to get rain.God bless. Love ❤ you all ❤

Praying for rain! Not thunderstorms but nice evening rains that soak into the earth and raise the aquifer. 🙏✝️💟

[@kimross6279]

Praying for couple days of good soaking rain, for every state in need. As always God bless stay safe until the next video ❤️ 😍

[@grace_wins.]

Those goats do a great job! Let the goats go without grain for a bit, they will go back to foraging when they get hungry.

[@patriciadile2353]

No worries, God Blessings will surely be at Arm's Family Homestead for being kind with all those cutees2.💘they'r all so adorably cute.🤩💖

[@NANAROSE20174]

So sorry for you, Lester &Jason. Praying for a lot of rain. I know how brutal the weather is

[@elizabethhestevold1340]

Sounds probably crazy . If you had a platform with wheels to tractor. Take the dirty water ride it over the Dead grass near, dump it over there. Once a day should do something till rain arrives. Just a thought . Feel bad for your guys , so dried out.😎👌🌷🇩🇰🇺🇸🙏

[@henrideclercq7338]

I'm praying for you guys hopeing we get rain soon and a break in the weather.god bless your family.

[@jolla9963]

38°c, luscious Aussie summer weather. Our farmers have struggled through many years of drought, and Australia being Australia, switched from drought conditions to major flooding event. I love a sunburnt country, a land of open plains, of rugged mountain ranges, of drought and flooding rains. Hope your rains come soon but only in moderation, soil needs a good long soaking, not short drenching.

[@pamelahousley7543]

Enjoyed seeing the goats out & about - copper is such a pretty goat. Praying for rain.

[@louellalittle8057]

Prayers for rain. Here in Nevada we’re used to this hot weather ( you never get used to it) 😣but we dread every summer 105-120. Our lake mead is losing so much water, it’s horrible. We’ve been in drought for years and people are just now starting to realize it. Very sad for this whole country right now, farms, animals and the people that work hard to maintain it all🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

And I thought it was bad when we stayed in the 70's at night! I am fortunate that we have had some rain. I did sell off about half my goat herd mainly because of the price of hay this year. Then my neighbor offered me his second cutting for the price of fuel, he got all he needed with his first cutting. That was a blessing, so long as we got enough rain. We just have a few more days of high heat and humidity left. The hottest yet this summer. Been debating on letting them stay out in the run in because it gets so warm in their barn. (In the process of building a paddock for them in the run in) It's just not goat tight yet. Been praying for all the farmers west of me for rain.

[@lindacandee7740]

I feel so bad for everyone I feel bad that I am happy the rain stopped two weeks ago we got 110 inches of rain this year I would send it to you if I could. Love your family.

[@sondrastearns1662]

Prayers for weather to turn. I remember back in 66 104 and rain it felt like shower water. God bless you all

[@pamelahouser3487]

The weather in Central Michigan is terrible for us as well, but not as bad as Texas and Oklahoma. We’ve had the 90s with heat index of hi 90s and continuing for another 2-3 weeks, but at night it is 70. The humidity is what is bad. It is at 60-96%. So, I pray God sends the rain and some refreshing temperatures for you and the animals. Water is necessary by all. Keep hydrated, fed, and safe. God bless y’all.💕🙏🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

[@joeg.6785]

Hey Daniel, I've been watching the channel for a couple of years now. I enjoy the videos but have never commented. However the "talk to me goose" line made me almost fall out of the chair laughing. You can't go wrong with a Top Gun quote. Thanks for the laugh.

[@opalmoon6667]

I wish the water thing worked for our goats when I was growing up. We had a couple of goats that would go up the mountain (which meant crossing water) and go into the deep woods and pricker bushes and have their babies.

[@tjjewell4115]

Great Video Daniel, sorry you don't have any rain, maybe it will come soon.

[@matthewmcdaniel8846]

Drop you a (trash) water pump 3” discharge in the creek and flood your pasture 😁

[@robertshrewsbury4241]

According to permaculture, eating a pasture down and then rotating to a new area is good basic management. Interesting that the goats adapted to being fed and you are working to get them back to normal foraging. Nice illustration of how the trees help cool things and keep grass growing. If you ever can get bulk soil amendments to work with, about 50 years ago, Butte Junior College in CA ran tests between built-up soil and regular soil and the rate of grain production difference in just a few acres was astounding. I've never forgotten.

[@LOUISCLAY01]

you ever think about taking water from the creek and watering the pastures? I don't know the law there but if you take that drumb you use for puting out fire and go one or two times a day you may see some green.

[@debraelliott8371]

Most off the last month its been some 99°+ but over 100° most of it. UHG. DRY! No rain sinceend of April or very early May. We won't see any till November or after. Avg 11" a year and 10" of snow.

I am from Mid-Michigan & going thru the same thing with our pastures!! Plus we have had to make new pastures for our horses!! Even that is mostly overf grown weeds, cause the grass isn't growing..It's NOT 106 @ 7:39 on your watch degrees here, but we haven't had hardly any rain either. "Always" goes around us!! I have mowed the front yard I think twice & the back yard 3 times all summer. I have several you tube channels I watch, along with your at night & they are all going thru the same thing. I "PRAY" for rain for all of you..Hope we all recieve some soon!!

[@davidcockrell5683]

How's the water level In Creek? You could pull water from there for some pasture land. U water it and it will grow!

[@feathersky860]

Thanks For the Update 🦅

[@alicewistrand210]

You can see how much the donkeypoodles like the cold showers. It’s a good thing they got sheared in time. This summer will be one for the record books as far as heat and dryness. Even here in Wisconsin we’ve had many days over 100 and the rains are light and far between. This morning we got 0.05 inches. My small garden is stressed. I water it but it’s not the same as rain. Maybe you can get a mister set up for the animals. You probably still have hot temps in august. July is our hottest and gradually decreases after July. 60 s in September, 50 s and 40s for October , 40 s and 30 s for November with snow beginning. Stay cool.

[@CCRider5312]

Cut their grain feed way back so they’ll have to browse graze. Mine do the same thing. The lady who has a goat 🐐 in with mine who’s the caretaker at my barn and pasture was feeding 3 times a day. Then my pasture was over starting to get overgrown . I finally told her to stop feeding 3 times a day so they’d eat the pasture down. She went to just 4pm feeding once daily & they went back to grazing again. But my pasture was starting to get sapling trees becoming overgrown in bramble and weeds, things a goats 🐐 love ❤️! But they wasn’t touching it because they was getting fed so much.

I think it's great that ur putting the goats out to graze maybe it will help this way they dont eat as much grain and hay. I know that prices of hay are up and pastures are not giving the same amount of bales ya'll are used to. I pray every day that ya'll get a soaker at least a whole day of rain. I would love to see ya'll get a good week. Thanks for sharing Plz stay safe and hydrated

And I thought we were hot here on GA. We've had days near 100°. Some days are a little bit over 100°. We aren't getting much rain dut the last few days we have pop-up thunder showers. It rains really hard so quick and then it is gone. The rain doesn't even leave any moisture because it will evaporate before it can be absorbed. We are experiencing very high humidity.
