I have 2 dogs I am usually feeding, unless a granddog is visiting. I think the containers I use last about 3 days which I felt keeps it to having fresh, not spoiled food. So when one is getting low with a day left I take another one out of the freezer and let it thaw. I don't warm the food, just keep it in the frig. The dogs love it. If you do warm, I suggest not to use the microwave - destroys much nutritional properties of the food. Hope this helps! Just takes a bit to get into a routine with the whole thing.

@@goatsgardens thank you for responding. By mid September, I’ll be bringing home 2 puppies. Kiki will be 12 weeks old, Lula will be 9 weeks. I’ve been told both as adults will be 15-20 lbs. They are different breeds but it will still be nice for them to have each other along with me & my hubby. 😉 I did cook for my dogs in the past, but I have learned since their passing at 13 & 14 I did not know enough about added nutrition. It seems in the last few years the rage has been raw but, not sure that’s for me. I’m a suburban mom so grocery stores will provide the food ingredients & on-line for additional supplements. Thanks again.

I would love to have them free range, but there life would be short. We have hawks and eagles that hover and random area dogs and coyote that pass through. I do give them scratch, dried larva scatter and garden veggies to peck at. At some point I would like to expand the run to the grassy area behind them a bit and have a gate so I could let them in there sometimes but also keep the grass alive. Yes the mesh on the top helps to keep those prey birds out! All a learning experience for sure!

So glad you found it helpful! My girls are doing so well. I gave them a copper bolus recently. Had not given that previously but they were showing some signs of copper deficiency. Another thing to add! I also just keep learning! I am going to do an update video on the goats health and what I am doing for maintenance soon. Sorry for your loss, Hope the other two goats become healthy!

Thanks for visiting! The garden is a wonderful thing to work hard and recieve the gifts of food!

They have become very special friends!

I feel very blessed to have the Greenhouse! Have wanted to add that for years! It is also a cheery place in the winter.

Thank you so much 😊

So fun to watch it all grow!

Great idea on the freezing in ice cube trays! You are right on the organic, I also here the non organic is now using Apeel. I bit of prep and preventive helps us to stay healthy! We also take vitamin C, D and zinc as preventative.

Nice! That Castor Oil is good for so many things!

I have a small herd and I refuse to cull. Mine are happy at moment and no active cysts. There is so much biased information against livestock since the government does not appreciate us raising anything we could possibly eat that I do not trust it. I think we can heal them entirely if we try thinking outside the box. I can always put them down, so why cull if I don't rely on them for my livelihood and they seem happy?

Also, there are studies tht show that it is mainly spread by the goop in the cyst and not much via aerosol. Even NIH is pretty clueless about CL though so who knows.

So far they just keep getting healthier. I had an untreatable autoimmune disease in my early 30's. would have died if I didn't dig into it and try to figure out how to heal my body. I Have a very full and active life now in my 60's! So I think along the same lines for my animals. Fern has had only one small cyst in the last year. The others have been clear. I do understand it can be internal so I keep cleansing and detoxiong them. I seperate when the cyst is open and clean them up good before they return to the herd. I have a small group of only 6 goats so I feel this is manageable and these are pets, not for meat. I will keep posted if we have return of a problem, right now it is on the up side!

Well I brought in 1 animal that had it spread like wild fire, while I was still thinking was just a tick bite. Horses cattle,deer , people eat can get it. I decided for me ,after the struggle, that I now vaccinate and cull at first sign and parted with my older animals. Got it 2 years ago. Seems like I got rid of it finally? Hoping

The animal I brought I found out was extremely In fected in its lungs. Assume that why spread so fast and far rapidly. Was an emotional experience! And now that I can spot it, I see utubes where shearers are hitting it and people buying contaminated animals at auction. On e guy on utube knows his whole herd is contaminated. Says he doesn't care as long as he gets lambs to the sale barn? For me that's immoral. Certainly not anything I would want to spread.

Great idea! Thanks for the tip! Sounds like your 8 are very lucky!

So glad you enjoyed the video. I agree, the home made food with all the natural healthy ingredients make all the difference with the dogs health and vibrancy! Just had my pups to the vet for their spring check up and the doggy chiropractor. Both were amazed in Max's transformation over this last year, from 25 lbs with difficulty walking to 13 lbs and running all over the place, walking for miles. It is a lot of work but I will continue to make the dog food as well! Hope your pup stays very healthy!

Thanks for watching! Good food for the woofers!

Glad it was helpful! It was quit an ordeal but I really feel I have a handle on it now. I think key points are having a place to seperate the goat when the cyst is going to rupture or get opened, cleaning them off before returning when it is done draining and scabbed and treating the goat in a whole fashion to get them cleaned out and more healthy.

Molim odgovor jel pijete mlijeko od zaražene životinje? Jel kozlić bude isto zaražen mlijekom hvala.

Freezes up really well too!

I do keep the driveways graded fairly smooth which helps minimize high points but I do snow-blow trails around the yard and back around the barn. last years pipe worked great for approx 30hrs of usage, I'm careful not to drag backwards with snow-blower down, but no issues with it coming off going forward. I have the pipe and the skid shoes at approx the same height so the pipe acts like one big skid shoe which helps as I put the 300lbs snow-blower in float mode while using.

You dont want to lower them to much, that will cause the machine to want to climb, adjust the skids just enough to clear and obstructions you can foresee.

thats a good thing to note, I have the shoes as low as they'll go and with the ABS pipe installed over the blade its a snug fit between the pipe and the ground while sitting on the shoes. While blowing I run the snowblower in hydraulic float mode and I'm getting a nice clean pass.

Thank you! You too!

You should!

Thank you, can't wait for next year's garden season!

Thank you! It was a beautiful fall season. I just viewed some of your videos - great info - always like to learn more!

Thank you so much for watching! @@goatsgardens
