Goats VS Ditch!
Our goats have to take on jumping across a ditch to reach fresh pasture where they can browse on endless fresh grasses, unwanted weeds and shrubs.
Goat Farming in Thailand is a rewarding agribusiness in so many ways.
Goats are an excellent versatile livestock animal that can help transform the land.

So according to fish language 101 ha ha ha the red Tails have been starved almost to death. Tell them we steak fish. They are not starved. My dish are the same I walk out the room and back in and the are like feed us
Very true Gav. I've seen some irresponsible people intentionally overfeed Redtails so they balloon like puffer fish. They just can't say no to a snack!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks Dan, much appreciated👍👍👍
This woman cannot boast of telling the truth as manny comments here baselessly claim. Absolutely everything she tells here is related only, but only to money and about the penis that for older men no longer works like it did in youth. Nothing about those feelings that she too, not only that "old farang men" should have, feelings that for as long as this planet exists are the basis of a serious relationship between a man and a woman, regardless of the geographical area they are coming from. Her tone shows an almost morbid aggression against foreign men who do not agree to support the Thai woman and her family consisting of at least 15 extra relatives. She also shows aggression against the traditions and cultures between Thailand and other geographical areas outside this country, including the West, saying that whoever wants to marry a thai woman MUST adapt to that thai way of life and accept that the foreign man must sleep together with the child(ren) in the same bedroom because the thai woman does not separate, not for a second from her child...meaning they in Thailand love each other so much that they never separates from each other (no really?), in other words, as I said earlier, for the foreigner it is mandatory to take care and support with a normal salary (since he is not a millionaire) a family consisting of husband-wife-child (1 or 2) plus extra 15 more relatives, parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, aunts. It's an aberrant pride to claim that the mother-child and other relatives love relation is stronger in Thailand than anywhere else in the world. It's an really idiotic idea that has no basis, because those feelings that express love cannot be measured. The devices for this purpose have not yet been discovered, plus there are billions of people in this big world whose family relationships are at least as close if not more so than those in Thailand!! These old farang men as you call them come to Thailand because they need love, because they feel the need for human (women) warmth, feelings which for various reasons they no longer have access to now in their countries. Unfortunately, you and the vast majority of thai women only see them as ATM machines, misjudging them because you don't care at all about who and what they are as people. You see them as matusalemic vampires and that´s it! If you and the other thai women were first of all honest with yourselves and secondly with these "old farang men", you should stop a relationship with them from start, explaining that you are not interested in such kind relationships (unequal in all point of views in your opinion) and you (THE THAI WOMEN) wouldn't do everything possible to twist their minds, going over to their house, jumping in their arms, getting into their bed, making them dependent on false premises and feelings, giving them the hope that they have someone by their side. Shame on you! You have no right to spew venom and judge anyone by generalizing and labeling people you don't even know personally. However, these foreigners that you, thai women laugh at, considering them naive, even stupid, have the advantage of money, meaning they can always go to one of the streets of Pattaya, where thanks to that live meat market (read 300-400 bar girls only on one street) put up for sale by a society where the lack of respect for women is more than obvious, so they can choose 2-3 bar girls per night if they please so, with whom they can satisfy any sexual fantasy for a handful of dollars. Thai women should not blame the "old farang men" for anything, but should hold the Thai gov. responsible for creating a society in which women can be sold (with her will of course), to earn a small amount money to support herself and her big family.
Get ready I think they’re just about to have a growth spurt,, a few more shrimp nets maybe required 🤣🤣
We're giving them 3 lots per day & they still want more!
Are they better tasting than the common catfish ?
@@keithhowell4138 these stunners are all destined for the fishing lake. When released in about a year we'll continue to hand feed them in the same place each day. They're so timid it's unreal.

Yes indeed, but there's no going slow in flip-flops down that slope. The goats have turned it into a Black Run ski slope!

@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand gone right off her to be honest 555 just jesting mate 👍
It seems that you love them . .How can you eat them?
We rarely eat them. All the boys are sold off once they reach a maximum of 20kg. The only time we do eat one is if there's been an accident and the injury is too severe. Other than that we did eat some when the herd numbers were too high because the Thailand goat market had stagnated. Amazing tasting meat.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand awesome my man .thats what i wanted to hear..i can understand that ...GREAT JOB!!!!
Haha....I loved how the goats follow you - and showed their jumping skilll - I can't believe you know all their names, cute how they all have a name, -thank you so much for the video it kept me in good morning mood... - stay healthy and happiness be with you and Toon...
That's a lovely comment. Thanks for taking the time to post it.
I could watch that all day 😊
I could easily lose several hours a day staying with the herd just watching and chatting to them. Years ago, before we fenced the whole farm, I used to be out with them twice a day for 2 hours at a time. I absolutely loved it, but we're way too busy now to do that.
Twiggy looking well. Poor old girl doesn’t even get a mention these days 😂
Twiggy? Lucky (the Rake) left us on the last sales day. Do you mean her?

@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand must be a few years ago but you referred to the lone tree as twiggy due to a striking resemblance to long legs and a furry front bum 🤣🤣

Bloody hell Leigh ,i know ive more or less said it before but ,i'd walk every inch of your waters and throw a line in 🎣 .Could have done with more Greenery on the land though🙄 Mate ..I just wish i had the time 🤦♂Love to meet you and Toon and spend time with you both ❤Thanks for sharing as always 🙏
Thanks Geno. The island will be the last part of the farm to develop and then green-up. Hard to believe that seven years ago the whole land was exposed soil (if you could call it soil!) Fingers crossed that you can get to visit us some time in the future. You'd be welcome to explore the farm & cast a line where ever you want.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand I'd love to 🎣
Not easy for foreigners to do without some modern conveniences like electricity for Airconditioner, Running water for toilet and bathing brushing teeth. This lady is also very beautiful in her own way. Youth is not everything in a relationship when looking for a woman. You Madam have very good attitude. You lucky found each other.
Thank you Eduardo, that's very kind of you.
Take that! Bloody moody wheel barrow.
Flippin right, how dare it fall over! Outrageous state of affairs.
Does the concrete retain water or did u do anything special to seal it
The cement is mixed with fine sand and then buffed repeatedly during drying until the surface becomes shiny & waterproof. Works a treat!
Golly eeeee. I prefer crunchy frog by Kellogg for brekky or a rum and coke or a bloody mary.
Were they the native honey bees?
Yes both are the smaller species.
Loving this mate, what catfish is it that are spawning? Tiz a cracking Koi pond mind!!
Just the Malaysian walking catfish, frisky buggers. Did you see our short video where Toon hand fed the tails? It's my favorite part of the day!
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand No way, thats awesome mate having fish breeding like that, be interesting to see how many eggs and fry make it past all the hungry fish that much on the eggs. Any way you can get the eggs out into a tub or lake with very little in it to give you a good chance of a better success rate? I didnt see the video of Toon feeding the tails, will try and find it. Vibes
@@Fishing_in_Thailand we let the other lake's inhabitants munch on the eggs & fry because there's about 30-40 in there, which is enough. They're not one of my favorite species but there's a fair few over 15lbs & they're great fun on the Pellet Waggler. Siamese are over 3lbs now in a stock pond. Gonna leave them to about 15lbs so they're safe from the Chaos & Giant Snakeheads (which have began breeding again but the Hampalas smash their fry to bits!) The Toon hand feeding the Redtails was two videos published before this one. I think it's called "Hand feeding Red Tail Catfish by hand." 🤣🤣🤣
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand That makes sense, fairly self explanatory video title then!! lol, been watching fantasy football videos a lot, you will be happy I have loads of Man U players in my team... naaaaa not really I do have TAA, Salah and Szoboszlai. I think they will hit the ground running this year. Brilliant on the Siamese, I was thinking with the walking catfish being so sought after by the locals for food, rearing them to around 1.1.5kg in numbers you might be able to sell them for food if you had a wee lake just for them to thrive. Im hoping to get involved in a small lake here in Pattaya, will be a waggler, cage and pole lake with fish to 2kg, fingers crossed vibes!!
@@Fishing_in_Thailand chuffed to hear that mate. I've always thought that's what you should do. Brilliant news. If we were near you we'd be buying some puller kits & nagging you to run a match club! It's easy to see that loads of expats are bored of catching 100lbs Mekongs & Siamese. I shit you not, I'd choose catching a 10lb Black Shark Minnow on the float rather than any size Arapaima. I really miss fishing with a bit of finesse. Top Secret Heads-Up for you....we're just putting the finishing touches to a swanky lakeside fishing lodge. We've built it in the Glory Hole swim. Patio doors open right onto the swim. Toon & I will be moving in when we don't have any Farmstay guests & anglers booked in!
Everything is looking great with the wet season. The chop and drop is working a treat.
Thanks mate. Yeah it's taken time to really get going, mainly to do with having to let the herd out on pasture areas more than we'd have liked. Luckily, soon as the herd leave an area after giving it a good haircut, it improves massively. Still got a lot of areas that are chopped n dropped after cutting the Napier grass. The Moringas are doing great to & we've managed to get all of the goats to eat it 💪
On a different note, I'm finding it hard to get past the red belly pacu, I've done 20 wire traces this month... at the moment I'm using crushed pla duc food with bread crumbs and raisins to get to bigger fish.... even hot dogs, ham, beef is getting me into the 1/2 kg fish, any tip you may have to get into the bigger fish,I do have pla buk etc:, and I've been catching pla sawai up to 3kg.. but no luck on anything bigger, I've tried fly fishing in the evening, I have no predators introduced as in pla chon pla chado or pla duc... but i did catch a Malaysian catfish a few days ago, it must have came with the bag.
It's tricky sorting out the bigger Pacu because they're so flipping greedy. I've had some of my biggest take fish pellets that we feed our tilapia with. Might be worth trying a small fish on a single large hook. We've had quite a few on that when trying for snakeheads.
net or dynamite.
Whats happened with the aligator gar?
We stocked both of them into the lake. Unfortunately, one got killed by something! Luckily, we still have the other one in there & it's easily big enough to take care of itself now. Super easy to spot when it comes up for air for chases a Java barb near the surface.
Excellent video as usual. I really like the ones which focus on your water management practices. My favorites!
Thank you Alfred. I put a lot more time into the editing of this video, so I'm really chuffed to hear that you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking time out to let us know 👍
On you tube you rarely see people come across snakes or mean bugs. Looks like a good life to me, once you get it dailed in might be smoother sailing. Could you clean up that water? 1K for a pound 🤯 could you shoot ducks on it?
To date, I think we've managed to publish videos featuring pythons, monitor lizards, scorpions & wasps lol. It certainly is a good life in our opinion. Lots of setbacks & hardship, but the numerous highs are certainly worth it. It's currently the rainy season so the lake always carries more colour. 1K for a pound???
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand I can handle lizards & normal wasps. Demon spawn like giant spiders, scorpians or big snakes inside or in my garden while Im working, not so keen. I meant to say pond/lake, can you duck shoot on your land? From memory you said it cost $1,000 USD
Love the farm stay commercial at the end!😂
My favorite bit to mate 👍
😊❤
Cheers Nate 👍
How do you aerate the lake?
No need (for now). We've purposefully not heavily stocked the lake & have a good head of various predators to help control breeding. Fresh water coming in through the sides & up from underneath all year helps to. As far as future stock goes, we're planning on introducing our 40 Siamese & Redtails in about a year & various smaller species to keep the predators fed (if required.)
White finger not strimmers finger 😂
As long as it doesn't fall off, it's my favorite finger!
Fantastic mate , a wonderful time to be on the farm, looking lush ✅👌
It sure is mate. Apart from the mozzies, it's a joy to see all the rapid growth of vegetation. We'll soon be planting up LH2.0 😉
Isan gets cold from between November to February especially first thing in the morning
Ours shut down for about 2-4 weeks per year. They don't eat, molt or move much but they're fine. You can top up the water level in the tanks which may help or if you're still concerned just add a small water heater.
Start of small is that a good idea ???
Definitely. We started with about ten young adults, then scaled up.
How many weeks from hatch to eating ????
You're looking at around a year for them to reach 100g.
@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand thanks very slow process then
@@user-tg6nm2tm1h it is indeed. I think that's why all the suppliers we've seen harvest their crayfish at quite a small size (60-100g.) We like to give them a bit longer so they're perfect for the BBQ!

I know wild honey is cheapish & readily available but have you ever thought of getting a bee hive setup with wild bees ??? or are u a bit like me & it err mmm not sure on that lol
We love wild honey! I have looked into it quite a bit Gary. Thing is beekeeping is done quite differently out here and there's no one near enough to us to learn from.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand that is very true and we have loads of ppl here collecting wild honey(brave soda)
How's your crayfish ?
@@johnlemuelenverga7084 doing very well thanks John. We recently stocked another 1000 or so juveniles into the grow out pond and we have 10 females currently hatching their broods.
Its looking very green. I think I have a mixture of cat fish and snake head in my dam in Ubon Ratchathani, lucky us was the dam was full of fish when we bought the farm. But U want to increase my dam depth and size as well. Is that big fish in the photo a good eat?
They are but striped Catfish (same family) are more popular amongst locals. Pacu are ok but tilapia are better IMO & snakeheads are by far the best.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand Cool then I have the right snake head in the dam, my mother inlaw pulled a snake head out of our dam this morning and she said it was as thick as her lower leg lol
Farm looks awesome Leigh! You & Toon make a wonderful team together at the farm & wishing you both all the best😊 Thanks for sharing this video:)
Thank you Marietta. It was a tough couple of months when Toon was bedridden. The farm isn't the same being on your own. We count our lucky stars that she's now back on her feet and working her way back to full fitness.

You only need a return financially when you still owe the man. Put simply, get rid of all of your debt and it's surprising how little you need to get by and survive. Second, it's only work when you need to pay the man at the end of the month. Hope that makes sense. 🍋🍋🍋🍋
Totally agree 👍
