Hi! Please please please do a playlist for all your goat stuff. I'm trying to do as much research as I can before I get dairy goats. Need to learn from those who do it best. It would also be amazing if you had a video about feeding and caring with supplements and such or a video about daily care. Thank you kindly for your time ❤️

Any animal that lives on your homestead is so lucky. They get good care and you can tell you love them all. Can't wait to see more babies. Baby goats are so much fun.

Kevin, You and Sarah make such a wonderful team. I can see why you thrive so well homesteading. Yin and Yang. Also both of you are extremely brilliant and full of ingenuity. It seems that your ingenuity has rubbed off on the baby goat. That was brilliant finding the hole in the wall. I loved it and I love your videos. Thanks.

Sarah, If I had met you guys 20 years ago, my life would have been totally different from what it is. I'm 55 now so I basically live my life vicariously through You guys and others that I have recently met on KZitem. You two are wonderful people and you help others in so many ways. I am sure they don't even realize all the work you put into making the video's that help enrich their lives. You gotta admit though, there are many that truly appreciate you even though they use small sentences when showing it. Just keep that in mind because there is a lot of love and camaraderie in your chat rooms. It's my pleasure always when giving you a thumbs up. I love your whole family and what you do to help others.

Just a heads up, I see you have a pallet there. 6 yrs ago my favorite alpine girl was playing on the play build we made out of pallets, she ran off when I came home to run to say hi to me, both front legs got broken. Worse day off life. Had to put her down. Since then I have sworn off pallets anywhere near goats. Just experience.

My Grandpa kept goats as far as I know all his life. He milked between the back legs...not sure why and when my daddy was a kid they had a goat that pulled them around in a cart. He said they used carrots to keep the goat pulling. That's one of those good stories one tells his children. Dont know what kind they were but they seemed big to me...I was about 3 or 4. Of course I followed Grandpa every where he'd let me, but he'd never let me go into the goat house. Probably a wise decision. Good memories long time ago in the early 50's.

How many weeks or months do you wait after breeding one batch before breeding another another batch???? Plsssss Sarah kind help by responding to this question. Also can you plsssss put all your videos on Nigeria Dwarf goats together in series just like you've done for Rabbit. Thank you so much from England.

With the title, "The Best Dairy Goats for Homesteading," I thought you might be addressing different breed comparisons, techniques for working with them, milking or milk comparisions, something I might find useful about arriving at the conclusion that something about goats had been compared and evaluated. But, it really just seemed that you are introducing your goats and how you got your numbers. I'm glad you are happy with them, but I didn't feel there was anything here of benefit to me. You might consider changing the name to something that fits your presentation better.

That is a brilliant idea. Putting a whether with a Billy. Question though if you obviously don't want a wether for anything but company for your Billy does it matter what breed it is so much as long as the personality fits with your Billy. You could even get a mixed breed whether.

Good ideas, Double A Ranch Allen. Breed choice is really just personal choice. We prefer Nigerians because of the sweet flavor of their milk, their small size which we find easier to keep in fenced in areas, and their gentle sweet demeanor. My good friend prefers larger breeds because they have longer teats and produce more milk per day. For me, larger breeds are stronger and harder for me to handle. It's just up to each person to determine which is best for them. Thanks for watching!

I love goats. Great weed cutters. We were thinking about getting one for milk, but what do you do with goat milk other than cheese? I guess there's no other use for them right? Like we looked into some of the smaller cows, but even those make way more milk than we could use. So I guess you sell it or something?

Sarah.....Do you prefer Nigerian milk over 'other' breeds? I've 'heard' it is 'mild'. I like the idea of the 'mini' breeds of just about every animal. I'd prefer to have my own milk rather than barter or get a mini Hereford, but I haven't been able to develop a taste for the goats' milk and cheese I get locally. (mostly Nubian). Thanks.

+singleman Yes, I absolutely do. Nigerian dwarf milk is very sweet like cows milk. When we switched over our daughters, we didn't tell them. After one week of drinking it without noticing a difference, we finally told them. They admitted that they were surprised at how good it was and that they couldn't taste a difference.
