    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!

    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.

    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!

    • @SilverFlame819
      @SilverFlame819 Před 9 měsíci

      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!

    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! 😇😎
