Very interesting, I learned a lot! It is great to see a young man who is so passionate and hard working in the line of work he is doing. He would have to love what he does to work those long hours each day and do it SEVEN days a week.......I can't even imagine doing that. Thanks to him, his family and all the farmers who work so hard to feed the world!

[@NASTYcraftX]

He sounds like he is extremely educated. Pls do more tours like this.

[@Isgerrior1]

Interesting to hear him talk. The new generation farmer. Imput, output, variables, sounds like moneyball for farming! Good stuff!

[@JGMc23]

This was oddly enjoyable to watch. Goats are such an amazing animal

[@dennisdownes9319]

Great video! Hardworking people; very dedicated. I love to watch the baby goats.......they jump around like crazy! DD

[@frederickwatson557]

It never dawned on me how crucial is was to make sure animals are 'milked' religiously and on time. That's got to be a more challenging vocation than I ever thought. Good luck to all those Vermont farmers. I'm glad somebody is willing to do it.

[@paulopalhano3679]

A great goat operation. Hope be able to visit it personaly some day and even learn more about these enchantig animals.

[@markfredericks9892]

Great tour, thanks Jon! This guy has the right idea about the carbon sequestration benefits of livestock. This idea of ‘regenerative’ agriculture is the future of agriculture. Thanks again.

[@thejack9178]

Nah mass animal farming is bad for the enviorment no matter how you do it.

[@Lisa-bh7kk]

@@thejack9178 are a complete moron!!! Are you currently trying eating the disgusting bugs right now that are toxic for your body?

Stop drinking the globalist kool-aid. Those narcissistic psychopaths eat the best beef, foul etc. while they want you to eat crickets.

[@mohangupta9712]

Thanks Jon. The person is very knowledgeable of what he is doing.

[@DJSOLTI]

This dude is a very good teacher. At least for me

[@ericerf6837]

Great exposure to a different part of our country’s life and the people in it.

[@bfattal]

Seems this goat farmer knows what he’s doing! Very well spoken as well!

[@fesclusa1]

Admirable man...!!...amazing. His balanced view of nature is what we need..Jon, thanks for this content. I recommend you do a followup with Miles..I am sure he has a lot more to teach. Thanks.

[@mayurikadam320]

Very very good goat farm

[@oakleyjack7600]

Miles is very dedicated and passionate about his business as is easily seen. All the Best to him in the future 👍🎩

[@NomenNescio99]

We have to few men like him left in the western world today.

[@Lisa-bh7kk]

No, we have many great men and women working farms yet our global narrative does not allow them to be heard or seen.

[@Mr.raduhang]

Really impressive work i watching from Nepal.

[@Thom4123]

Very informative and educational. I’ll tell ya I love goat meat, at several different ethnic restaurant and several ways it’s cooked. Awesome video. Take Care

I can’t tell if this is a goat farm short documentary or a Miles Hooper character piece. And I mean that in the best way! 👏👏👏

[@kevinfitz9026]

Jon, great video as always. I found you through woodworking a long time ago, but now I look forward to all your videos regardless of subject matter. Your make it in Vermont videos are great as well as the local businesses and people you focus on in your videos. Miles seems like an intelligent and sharp guy. I wish him and his family the best in their farming business. If anything, the next time I buy a block of cheese I will reach for the Vermont made or at least know of the efforts of the goat farmer and his milk. Keep up the good work! Thanks

This is one of the best goat farm

[@markpringle7678]

Very interesting Jon. I learned a lot about goats today.

[@kondaveetichinnarao5170]

Excellent presentation and practical knowledge!

[@theanimalmuppet]

Very cool farm. Thanks for another good video, Jon.

[@sapelesteve]

Terrific video Jon & Miles did a really great job of explaning how a Goat farm is operated. I wish that he had explained more about the milk production. I am curious as to how the females are inseminated. They obviously have to be pregnant in order to lactate & produce milk. On a cattle dairy farm the heifers are always artificially inseminated & he is correct about the time spans for milk production. All in all, a really interesting video. Thanks!

[@dakshyadharuaofficialsong8427]

Amazing

[@clindust]

hey Jon! great video about great people! thanks

[@timsievers4588]

Very informative. Thank you

[@oatmeal63]

This was very interesting. I've always wanted to to try goat meat or should I say chevon.

[@robertmoore1123]

It's really good

[@markbryan9989]

Love Chevre (goat cheese)! It is interesting how he explained the efficiency of goats versus cows. The goats are cuter too! Thanks Jon!

[@Lisa-bh7kk]

Only efficiency is that goats will eat anything yet he feeds his high quality food just like dairy cows because twigs etc do effect the milk and meat. You are what you eat.

[@stevecollins9450]

Thanks for the video, Jon, I learned a bunch.

[@kevinbudke8438]

Very informative clip. Thanks

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Watching this video I'm thinking what 23 JA's disliked this video?? The info., the scenery, & baby goats c'mon man!!! Fantastic video Bud!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!!I love goat meat. Been eating it in Greece for over 25 years!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Mike! 👍👍

[@SilverFlame819]

Probably vegans. Lots of AR folks just troll the animal videos to dislike them.

[@cyobytm]

very nice farmer

[@GrahamOrm]

Another great show Jon.

[@arielalejandrito]

I enjoy watching these kind of videos. It is so nice to learn from farmers. I will own my farm in the next five or six years I’m working really hard to get there. Thanks for sharing this awesome video Jon.

Good video Jon! Thank you for sharing the adventure with us and Merry Christmas!👌👍😎JP

[@rickculpepper709]

Wow John very interesting

[@roberthodge7802]

No one had pointed out the twin phenomenon so succinctly. Saving one twin from each mom is a low cost means to build a herd. I assume you do not want dads breeding with daughters, so renting a dad is best yes? Excellent vid you two!

[@SilverFlame819]

Many breeders will line breed, but then outcross after a generation or two. Linebreeding isn't bad, but it will highlight the best traits and the worst traits in your lines pretty quickly, so if you aren't breeding quality, you definitely don't want to line breed. It's all about bettering your lines with every generation!

[@jakekeller4092]

Awesome vid Jon!

Love seeing the Whale Tails in the intro shot. I went to college in VT. I heard they moved them from their location near Williston off I-89. Is that true?

These ones are new ... just this year. Same artist the other ones were moved from this spot about 20 years ago

[@edgonzalez4191]

Very cool

[@cliff5240]

Very interesting. I never knew that goats and deer are first cousins. However, when you look at them the head of the goat looks like a deer.

[@dougprentice1363]

I found this incredibly interesting. Especially when he said goats always have twins. I never knew that. My uncle was a dairy (cow) farmer. I have a bunch of questions for this guy. Comparing the two operations. Ive Neve had goat meat, I'd like to try.

Baby goats!

Very nice very interesting. Beautiful Farm You should sport a goaty ;-)

[@zacharybleu9294]

He kinda sold me on the twin kid production. My dad was thinking about cows but goats might work better.

[@michaelmilton4427]

Interested. Thanks Jon

[@Singaporepangali9787]

Any vacancy is there goat dairy,I am Indian now working Singapore

[@tweek857]

What happens when you miss a milking? Ask a lady that's breastfeeding and hasn't breastfed for a day... pressure builds up and they become uncomfortable and leak milk...goats may be more efficient but it has no where near the market dairy cows or beef cows have

[@SilverFlame819]

You see some breeders bring their animals into the show ring that they've purposely skipped a milking on, in order to give them a fuller udder, and it INFURIATES me. Poor things can barely walk, look miserable, and have milk just spraying out as they're standing there. You see it more with cows than goats, but still... totally wrong.

[@coreyacre6070]

Do you feed baleage or just dry hay?

[@vincenttsang4640]

how often the hay on the floor is changed?

[@sam-qm3zn]

Hi I see your nice and big farm I need some advice from you. I am going to retired in 2 years and I bought the farm land about 20 acres. Can you please let me know how to build or whim to hire to build the farm house. I don't have and barnes in my property. I have to do my self. I wanted to start with 100 goat for meat not milk. Please let me know. Thanks.

[@mikedavidz6161]

A goat walks into a post office and says to the postmaster, “I need to send a telegram.” The postmaster replies, “OK, what is it?” The goat says, “I need it to say, ‘Maa maa maa maa maa maa maa.'” Counting the words, the postmaster tells the goat, “Well, for the same price, I can put four more ‘maas’ for you.” The goat looks at him and scoffs, “But then it wouldn’t make any sense!”

[@ghostbuster8377]

🤣🤣😂😜 nice one

[@mrupholsteryman]

So many unanswered questions....but wow! Very informative! So... Do goats farts compare to cow farts? 😇😎 Just kid(pun intended)ding. I like the notion of a quicker turn around as far as return on investment as well as a better outcome for breeding! Had no idea the amount of time that is invested into a single cow before any potential reeping for what was sown. I wonder how much it costs to start a farm like this and is most of their customer base from the internet or word of mouth? Much competition for this or fear of over saturation due to the breeding outcomes? Or is it that it takes someone special to actually do the work? Also... What time does the workday end? Seems as though you can stay in shape. Nutrition benefits of goat/cow/deer? Maybe I'll get on their website. Thanks for the vid! 😇😎
