  • I get the chance to leave the row crop fields and head to a goat farm. My friend Marshall takes me around on his familys Goat (among other animals) farm for a day.
    I learn about daily chores, the process of raising goats and how to work them.

    Thanks Marshall for showing your livestock, I’m thinking a livestock farmer is busier than a grain farmer most of the time. 24/7/365 animals have to eat and drink. Thanks for showing your operation

    @Carolinagroundskeeper Před 4 lety +2

    The sounds of the goats bring back memory’s for me. My daughter couldn’t drink cows milk cause she would break out in hives. We found she could have goats milk so for 6 years we hand milked 10 goats twice a day just so she could drink milk. Both my girls were raised on goat milk! Thanks for a great video!!

Where do you find the tubing to feed the milk down on the kid when needing help? Also, what type of heat are you providing the sheep while indoors?

    Not sure how I landed on your channel but I really enjoyed watching this. Day in the life of a farmer... I call this a funny farm! Every animal you can think of. Looks like our home in Wisconsin, except we don't have sheep! All he needs is some pigs and he would be set.

    Maybe I missed it, but what are the primary ways that raising goats produces income? (milk?, meat?, raising to sell to other producers?, goat hair?)
