Farm living with goats...
Here is a series of videos I took from two days ago on the farm. Had 3 goats get out of their enclosure but thankfully they have no interest in wandering away... they stay right by home.

Most of them are fainting goats with the exception of one.

I hope you enjoy the following presentation. Hit the right arrow to view the next short video.

I’m new to owning goats… these was my goat adventure from yesterday.

It is fun until you have to do it 6 times a day for the first week. Last week it was 4 times a day.

As of today... I'm starting them on a thrice daily schedule.

8AM, 4PM, Midnight

It is a little early for this but I don't have much of a choice because there are 2 days this week where I need to be somewhere for 8 hours and they aren't gonna get to eat so trying to acclimate them to this a touch earlier than I normally would.

If you ever want to load em up and visit the area, you can stay in one of our cabin rentals while your goats eat everything

Philly and Hoshi are 6 weeks old. Philly weighs 11.5lbs and Hoshi weighs 10lbs.

Grilled Cheese is 3 weeks old now and weighs 7lbs.

They are starting to spend half days in the goat pen with the big girls and, damn, I am glad for it because I am tired of having to clean out the pen. The pen that lives in the kitchen because I don't have another space where it will fit easily.

Had to go do my side-gig today so they spent the entire day outside and they were VERY happy to see me.

Goat babies chasing me!

What happened to parting out old wrecks? Goats running around just isn't as exciting

Serious question… why do farms keep goats? Do you eat them? Do they cut the grass? I get cows, horses, and chickens utility, but are goats just for fun or do they serve a purpose?

Yeah I'm curious why you chose goats over more traditional stock like chickens or pigs, Janx

I know some people like goat meat/milk, but wouldn't something more traditional be more profitable?

I'm a huge fan the Homestead Rescue tv show, and I'm always surprised when the homesteaders prefer goats over other options

I chose goats over cows for several reasons.

1) An cow weighs 600 (miniature) to 2,200 (standard) pounds while an angry Myotonic goat weighs 150 pounds. I can tank a sneak attack from an angry goat far better than I could a cow. Especially as I'm out here, basically, on my own now.

2) Myotonic goats will produce an equal amount of meat to cows (meat to bone ratio) on 2/3rds of the food... so it costs substantially less to keep goats than cows.

3) I have the ability to grow a lot of my own food here but meat based protein is skyrocketing in price so I wanted to be able to be more self sustainable. Since these are meat goats... they meet my needs.

4) They actually do keep my lawn down. I mowed twice all of last year and it was glorious.

5) Mine faint... and it is highly amusing.

6) Goat meat, price per pound, fetches a bit more than cows do at auction.

7) Grew up eating goat and it isn't exactly the easiest meat to find short of going to a specialty butcher... where you will pay specialty butcher prices.

I honestly had no idea there was such a demand for goat meat/milk in America, always knew there was a niche but didn't think it was that lucrative

Always thought chickens, eggs and whatever else sold better

If you personally enjoy goat meat it definitely makes more sense, but I've never had it... what would you compare it to, lamb maybe?

Tastes more like beef, to me, than lamb. A lot of ground goat meat that you can buy includes meat from bucks (especially when they are in rut) which massively changes the flavor profile because they are stinky ****ers and that stink transfers to the meat itself.

I've kept meat breed chickens but they are, to me, a far bigger headache than they are worth. Dare I say that slaughter day on my last batch of chickens led to a lot of release of hostility towards them and I was happy to do it. I don't have the patience for egg layers. Gotta keep them bitches around for almost a year before you even see an egg. I also disliked the confrontational nature of roosters and honestly felt bad putting my foot into them like I'm taking a corner kick in soccer. That may seem contradictory to my last statement but I did not want to injure an animal that was going to keep living.

I don't **** with milk goats because I have absolutely no desire to spend 2-3 hours of my mornings squeezing goat tits. That said... goat milk is an excellent option for people who are lactose intolerant. In fact, back in the day, some people would feed their human babies directly from goats because they were frightened by a spread of transferable diseases from "wet nurses".

Not that I have kids of my own but... the quality of the milk is excellent for people.

Another two babies born at 9PM tonight. Another first time momma that had no ****ing clue what to do with the babies.

Two more bottle babies living with me in the house. One boy (Meatball) and one girl (Nyota). Pics later when I snag them for their next feeding.
