Just a tip with the Flies, put a few chickens in with your goats. The chickens will eat the larvae off of the manure before they become Flies.

The ENTIRE reason why I first got chickens!! I spend so much $$$ on sprays and predators and what have you, then I got chickens. Just 15, but that first summer saw a 80% reduction in flies. No longer was my weepy mare wearing a fly mask that had hundreds of flys on it. She was now able to go without any mask at all! Chickens are awesome.

We already know it just depends. You have 110 acres, you said...how many goats do you have on your 110 acres? could you do more? Could you double your number? We don't need a video to tell us it depends since we already know that and we don't need a video if we just have to play with it and find out for ourselves... I appreciate the time you put into making this video, but for anyone else who wants some ballpark numbers, my neighbor has 35 pygmy goats on 10 acres with a large pole barn for shelter and some old scrap iron beams and girders for climbing. This is panhandle Florida and the goats keep the grass short 100% of the time. The herd has been self sustaining for about 20 years with little input. Another neighbor has about 20 medium sized meat goats on 10 acres and rotates them in 3 plots every week or two. The grass gets about a foot tall then the goats come in for a week, then they move to the next pen for a week.

We raise Purebred Alpine goats and have had great luck with the milk production and love the mothering skills of our Alpine does. Great video and good advice for new comers to the goat raising experience. A lot of people in our area are hooked on raising the Boer meat goats but we have found that nitch in the market in our area where a good quality goat milk will bring a good profit margin. Keep up the good work on the videos.

So 6 large, dozen small/acre, provided you have pasture to rotate and hay fields to stock up for the winter. Theoretically if all your land is airable you could get as many as 300+ but that leaves little room for error and looks like it would become a PITA after a while.

Yes, that is my priority, to control brush on over 35 acres. Another thing to consider is how many goats can you transport. 😉 I do not have a truck or a trailer just yet. So I was looking at how many goats can I transport in my Pathfinder. I think 2 is my max. So I was looking at getting 2 bred does so that I could have a maximum of 8 goats. I think that would about be my limit. Of course, what's the chances of both does having triplets?

Some folks rotate daily, but I've always been told you need to rotate at least every 3-4 weeks to stay ahead of the parasite life cycle. Most worms that goats struggle with have a 28 day life cycle so if you move the goats out of an area before the next cycle of eggs can hatch you don't run the risk of them pickup up the newly hatched parasites from the forage.

I just bought 4.4 acres half is wooded. I'm also retired not a big income tho. I'm thinking goats but at the cost of every thing now with this pandemic. Was unexpected none of my property is fenced. 6 ft t post 5.50 a pc .I've had boer goats before you need a strong fence for heavy breeds they like to rub down the fence trial and error for sure . I had the wrong fence for thoes guys I sold that place after a big divorce.. yep single now so I want to homestead by myself. Start again but hobby wise now .I enjoy animals it just plain enjoyable. Chicken pen is almost done I've gotten about 12 already got started late in the year because just got the new place about month ago. Nothing here but the small house and chicken's coop I built.. I bought some chicken's about half grown at flea market lost three already one to predator two came up sick. So working the kinks out of the flock. Trying apple cider vinegar in thier water suppose to help alot. Thing is I'm deaf so I didn't catch alot you were saying I went to the commits got ideal what you were discussing . Last time I had to buy hay it wasn't cheap I can imagine the price per bail now. Which I got pretty good stand of grass pasture .in my location about January hay is gonna be must so gonna need hay probably 4 to 5 months but I definitely want milk goats . Goat milk is the best I've tasted rich flavor. I've seen some mean o billy goats I've been chase up a fence couple times in my life dont ever under estimate a goats strength . I've tried to grab some of the big goats by horn to hold them off . I did for about 5 minutes i climbed the fence to get away. So every one heads up when you going to buy goats watch out for old billy i promise you if your a stranger he's watching you.
