Great video. Our 11 yr old son and I have been wanting goats for so long, he just watched this and said well it doesn't make sense not to have them LOL. I had a pet one as a kid so I do know the effort involved but I think my husband just lost the battle ;)

Lol. I’m noticing the use of pallets for the food holder and the goat accommodation. Such useful things.

I have no interest in keeping goats (at this stage of my life anyway) but I just love seeing your connection with the animals you keep and your garden and kitchen!

The Good Life Permaculture KZitem channel most definitely deserves a much wider audience. So, please encourage your friends or fellow permaculture enthusiasts to subscribe! I’m also highly impressed with the quality of videoing, which always shows interesting angles and very good close-upshots. Thank you for a beautiful insight into urban goat keeping!

I have 2 girls, kept in a bigger pen, that are feed with oat and chuff, stock pellets and a collection of brush from my 20acre property every day. This is not enough. The difference between a healthy goat and a maintained one is letting them graze naturally. When I did this their coats became silky... Now that's a healthy goat

We let them graze in some of the grassy areas os our property as well. They've got they're winter coats on at the moment and are in the process of malting. Over summer their coats are super shiny/silky :-)

I love the videos, Hannah, but your mic clips heaps in each video! Turn the levels down :)

Love these videos too. But yes, please turn down the mic volume to prevent audio clipping. You can increase the volume in post and/or use a compressor to make the audio stand out again in the video.

Why is tree lucerne classed a weed please… I have brought seeds from Diggers to create a wind break in central Tassie….is this not a good idea?
@GoodLifePermaculture

It spreads vigorously. It has been used in land restoration across Australia successfully, but it can compromise other species becoming established as well. It's always a good idea to see what local natives can do a similar job. In Tassie, we have lots of Acacia species that are great pioneer plants :-).

What are the saanen breed like for bleating? I have just got some very loud and neighbor annyoing nigerian dwarfs. Thinking maybe the saanen would be better for us

Great video Hannah. I always wondered about the small area they live in. Now I have no doubt in my mind that we can keep goats on our small 2.2acre property. Deep litter ftw.

Love this video Hannah! We milked our little mini goats for years, but each one would only produce milk for about 6 months, and all those kids go find homes for didn’t sit well with me. Would love to milk again, but I need a great long term mullet like yours next time! (Our minis are still here, just being gorgeous, eating all the things and producing manure for the garden 😉)

Tim Woodward, goats are herd animals, it's always best to have at least two.

You always need at least two - if you only have one they'll become very sad/depressed/stressed.

I am so in love with all of this!!! How much space do you think would be the minimum you could keep a goat in? I live in a small suburban block. Trying to make a mini farm on my 440m2 block as much as I can. Chickens, veggie garden etc. thank you for sharing such great info!

I have a couple of questions.. do they need to have young every year to stay in milk? How do you manage things if you can’t milk them for a day or are going away on holidays?
