Our goal is fifty does! We should be there in about two more years. To me it is so awesome to watch these does have their kids and have them up and nursing within fifteen minutes! We love our goats. Like you said they have personally.
130 baby goats😲😲😲, wow l just love the way they do their things. I am over here in Africa starting out but l hope to be like him someday. Thank you for sharing his story.
That was so much fun to watch! I am catching up on old videos. It was so interesting to learn about the Keko breed. Love how excited Houston gets about the babies.
God bless you and your family brother That’s what people should be doing Oh and that boy Huston? Well he is the best in the whole show. God bless you again
That's so cool. You were the first goat farmer I found on RUclips talking about a variety of things I would have never known otherwise. With that I've learned so much from you and now that I've seen this video it will help me create a diversified stronger pest and disease free breading stock once I'm ready to start a farm of my own. That's awesome you share all the knowledge you've learned as well as resources. Thank you so much.
Amazing. Ok. It was great seeing Houston having a terrific time. But, I gotta admit I was grinning from ear to ear the entire video. Please thank Mr. Rick for us when you talk to him again for letting us visit him. Gosh, such knowledge he has about goats. $1,000. for a goat! I'd faint. Then again, that stud machine has earned his keep.
He’s one handsome guy..and lucky..if I had a herd I wouldn’t make any money. I would end up keeping them all. Oh I love goats. I’m a Capricorn to. Houston is so adorable. We gave my cousin a black nanny goat. He named her saisy bone..spellings wrong. She was beautiful. Thanks for the education and fun..feel like a kid...ha, again.
Wow! Taking care of and feeding my six pet goats is a workout sometimes for this middle aged gal! I can't imagine the exhaustion involved in this operation. All those babies!!!
I understand... I'm 64 yrs old and just started a kiko herd of 5 does - 3 of which should be pregnant. I also have 2 wethers who were the experiments to see if I could handle goats . The wethers are not kikos. I'm definitely getting my exercise!
I hope you do more videos like these! There aren’t hardly any videos of quality goat farmers out there and I know a lot of people wanna see that. Thanks for sharing!
Winner of a video, I've been looking for "boer goat weight" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Chloetey Boer Goatify - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.
Stampede! lol....Adorable. Thanks for the trip to the goat farm. Love all the babies and Houston! :) Did you know the American Kiko Goat Assoc. has posted the 2018 National Convention & Breeders Showcase is in Knoxville TN in June? Wish we had the land to raise them like our grandparents did in Wisconsin. God Bless
Really working to learn all I can on raising goats because I'm learning towards that direction. I have a 195 acers . And been thinking about a 60 - 80 goat operation. I'm in process of fencing for goats and in sections as I would be using the goats to help maintain the under brush in my tree forest. That's covered in poison oak, ivy, sumac, saw briar, and all kinds of weeds. Which should keep goats pretty fat. I also have hay meadow. Thinking I could raise the goats use them to help keep property clean and sell to meat market every year to pick up a little extra money I thought I wanted the boer got but they seen a bit high maintenance. So have been learning towards the Spanish got. But from all the research I've done seems like the kiko goat is the best bet. I'll continue my education on them I've been watching the market and going to sales. And reading and watching videos plus talking to several people I know that raise goats for the meat market. Real good friend of mine raises a boer/Spanish cross. He said that's the way to go. But I haven't decided yet. Of course his place is in the hill country of Texas which is a dryer environment whereas my farm is in east Texas with an average rainfall of "36 -"48 " inches of rain per year with a lot of plant growth my thinking is if the goats can eat it and help keep it cleaned that's less time of me bush hogging. So I can be doing other things
Enjoyed the video on the Kiko goats. Turns out we live about four miles from Egypt Creek farms. They are going to have an auction in April, so I hope to talk Hubby into getting some. Love your videos!
We have a 9 month old jenney thats been pretty rough with our sheep. She was 5 months old when we brought her to our farm. She was with both parents along with cattle when we picked her up. She was wild and never been handeled. She is gentel now towards us and pretty much like a dog now. She had been alone on our farm for a few months until we bought the sheep. We used woven wire to seperate the barn in half. She was on one side freely able to come and go. Sheep were fixed on the other in the barn. All seemed well the first few days she licked them through the fence. I turned the sheep out after 5 days she started stomping and chasing them. I since now have divided the paddock with 3 strands of electric fence right down the middle of the barn. So now she can see them out in the pasture, but wont attack them because of fear of the electric fence. She is now 9 months old. I noticed her bite my ram and a ewe through the woven wire in the barn this evening. I immediatley smacked her with my hat. What should i do? I need her to protect them and ti all be together. I heard coyotes tonight when i left them. Shes there only hope of survival. Would you recommed a shock collar for her aggression/training?
Great video. I've been working and around purebreds since I was 9. So very 40 years. If you look at the pedigrees on goats there are referred as does and bucks light rabbits and deer. If you go to a dairy show and say Billy. Most will think your a city person not knowing to much. Just a word for thought. But j did really enjoy the video.
Wow he's got one potent buck getting that many does serviced in 8 days with way over 200% results! How many years can/will he use the same billy since I'd assume each year he has to keep back a few doelings to replace aging and culled does? Houston is just too cute, he was having quite the conversation with the turkey. Good luck with the bottle baby!
So he's spending roughly $10 per service (60 does x 2 yrs=$1200 paid for billy), or $5 per kid - After he's done with the billy I'm sure it has more fertile years in him, maybe he'd be a good purchase for another Kiko breeder needing to replace their own billy...
What an awesome farm! We have thought about doing some goats and I appreciate you sharing all of your information on raising goats. I will have to check around and see if anyone near to us has Kiko's, because I live in North Carolina! But I think if I do get goats I will certainly look into Kiko's because of how good you say they are. The only goats that we have had thus far has been a little goat named NaNa. She was a miniature goat that we kept as a pet for four years until two old mean coyotes killed her one day in broad daylight at our barn. Unfortunately at that time we had no idea that we had coyotes in North Carolina. Now we know! Thanks again for all of your great information and I really love watching Houston on his adventures. He really loves his animals and especially his baby goats. Super Video!
Hi , love goats, milk is great for us as we're lactose Intolerant, and the meat is the only red meat we can eat but it's difficult to get where we live in England
Oh my Huston with having a bottle fed baby 🍼😂😂😂 great video again what a great farm thanks for sharing have a great day from you’re friend in Australia 🇦🇺 Corey 👍
Houston sure loves the baby goats. If I was going to pick out a bottle baby I would have picked out the one Houston got and it's a good thing we are not set up for goats or I would be up there getting some of those cute babies.
My husband said when I heal from my surgeries he will go on a road trip to Oklahoma to get some goats from you guys. It's 22 hours each way from where we are in MT you where you guys are. So 2021 =) if you are still selling.
now that's a lot of goats I can't believe how many mom's he was talking about that had that many baby's In eight days that's crazy daddy definitely love his woman
Arms Family Homestead wish we’d see more folks in the states like that. Make your job a lot easier in my opinion. If criminals know there is a chance home owners are holding be less attempts, of any crimes really. Thanks for your service by the way. I’ve got family in Oklahoma.
This is my uncle and aunts farm! This is where I deer hunt and this is where I grew up, great to see them on the channel!
That's cool.
You inspired me to live my dream. I just quit my job to start raising Kiko's. I am in the process of buying a small farm. Your videos are addicting.
Our goal is fifty does! We should be there in about two more years. To me it is so awesome to watch these does have their kids and have them up and nursing within fifteen minutes! We love our goats. Like you said they have personally.

God bless you and your family brother That’s what people should be doing
Oh and that boy Huston? Well he is the best in the whole show. God bless you again
When I saw all those goats running, and I'm like "Oh My, look at them all!" I never saw that many goats in one place before. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah they have quite a few.
I just happened upon this video today while searching for something else. Fun to see Houston as a little guy and now I know how he got Skip.
Great video man, I love seeing other people's operations. He really had a good one going on there.
That's so cool. You were the first goat farmer I found on RUclips talking about a variety of things I would have never known otherwise.

Surreal.
Houston steals the show, Great video.
We are going to be breeding our Borer Nubian cross does to my neighbors Kiko male. To create our own breed of goats here for our homestead. Good video
That should be a great cross.
Just spoke with Rick, hoping to catch any stray does available but too late. Kind person and generous with his time.
Stampede! lol....Adorable. Thanks for the trip to the goat farm. Love all the babies and Houston! :) Did you know the American Kiko Goat Assoc. has posted the 2018 National Convention & Breeders Showcase is in Knoxville TN in June? Wish we had the land to raise them like our grandparents did in Wisconsin. God Bless
No I didn't know that but I'm not a member of the association since we've never really had registered animals.
I love goats my dream is to have a small farm of goats one day. Thanks for sharing your experiences

Is Rick the goat whisperer then? lol. That little black bottle fed baby is adorable! Inky, blacky, midnight, malficient, lol.
That is so sweet, your little boy is adorable and he's going to love that little doe :)
Houston is a great part of your channel! Thanks and keep it up you do a great job.
Great to finally find a large goat farm video, thanks! Keep up the great vids
That was 2 cute all running past like the kids say hey, very enjoyable thanks
I am impressed by all the goats and Huston is adorable.
Thanks
Great video at copperhead farms. Full of great info. Thanks
Goats are so fun to watch. I can't wait to get out of the city.
Great video. I started with Boer in north Georgia but transitioned to Kikos for all of the same reasons.

Ok....that settles it......we're going with Kiko. Thank you so much for this video!
Awesome.
Holy goats...wow. That billy was one busy boy! 😄 Houston's bottle baby is adorable. He has good taste.
The Tinkerer's Wife Z
Thanks for sharing, was really neat getting to see the big heard like that.
The first time heard about Kiko goats, love this video.
Precious little ones. Beautiful farm Sir
what a great video! now I have the info and phone number when I'm to the point of getting my own goats! thank you... :)
Hi...... Daniel, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐩🌱🐐🐄🐠🎥👍👍👍
I really enjoyed this video. That’s a big goat herd.
wow triplets and quads.. I was wondering why you would be avoiding boers as they get top $$ for meat.. but extra goats make extra money.
Enjoyed the video on the Kiko goats. Turns out we live about four miles from Egypt Creek farms. They are going to have an auction in April, so I hope to talk Hubby into getting some. Love your videos!
I love those goats. I would never have Spanish. I had Boers & Kikos. Only had one loss & no bottle babies
Great video Daniel. Thanks for sharing some light on Kiko’s. Especially one from Mississippi. Now I know of a farm here in Mississippi. Thanks
They are so cute ! 🐐 🐐. Thanks for videos!
Thank-you so much for the all the great information. Great video 🌼
Thank you Daniel for taking on this tour! Hope Houston is not mad that you didn't buy him a baby goat!
Oh we brought one home
Love those Kiko goats, wish I could find some in my area. If you all were closer I would be on my way over to get some.😬😂
Goat compost last about 10 years on the soil, best fertilizer I have seen...
Serious?
Thats amazing
Great video, I do appreciate the time and effort you took to make it. Great info.
I just found this video. 1-29-2021. I would be in goat heaven!!!!
Amazing. I now know what breed my childhood goat was!
Great video. Planning my own goat farm shortly here in Nagaland, India.
Goat City. Younguns everywhere, including Houston. Nice. 😁🇺🇸😎
Lovely farm my friend. The landscape is similar to my property in outback NSW, Nymagee, Australia.
We have a 9 month old jenney thats been pretty rough with our sheep. She was 5 months old when we brought her to our farm. She was with both parents along with cattle when we picked her up.

I've never owned a donkey so I'm not much help.
I love the revolver in the overall pocket!
photojones1 is a must have tool around the farm bet it’s a .410/.45 cal Judge or nice little lethal guns .
Great video. I've been working and around purebreds since I was 9. So very 40 years. If you look at the pedigrees on goats there are referred as does and bucks light rabbits and deer.

Houston is just too cute, he was having quite the conversation with the turkey. Good luck with the bottle baby!
I think they switch out bucks every two year.
So he's spending roughly $10 per service (60 does x 2 yrs=$1200 paid for billy), or $5 per kid - After he's done with the billy I'm sure it has more fertile years in him, maybe he'd be a good purchase for another Kiko breeder needing to replace their own billy...
You are correct. I'm sure they sell him and make back a large portion of what they spent.
Thank you so for this video. I wish someone had Kiko's in Alaska.
I have never seen a revolver in bib overalls before.
Thanks Daniel, now I feel like ive got a kiko honey hole!!!
love the revolver in the front overall pocket
What an awesome farm! We have thought about doing some goats and I appreciate you sharing all of your information on raising goats.

Thank you! Do some searching online. I bet you can find some closer! I know there are quite a few scattered around Mississippi.
Such beautiful babies!
Hi , love goats, milk is great for us as we're lactose Intolerant, and the meat is the only red meat we can eat but it's difficult to get where we live in England
This story was great
Huston, what is your new baby goat name? Lovely presentation. Huston is the KING. Love his turkey talk too. 😁😁😁
really enjoyed this video. very interesting. Thank you.
They look so amazing
Daniel there is a difference in weather in different places. That's why some people would put them in a barn.
Oh my Huston with having a bottle fed baby 🍼😂😂😂 great video again what a great farm thanks for sharing have a great day from you’re friend in Australia 🇦🇺 Corey 👍
In the US 100 years ago we ate lots of goat but now ?
I lov em yummy
Great video brother, wish I could find Kiko's close to me. Love the drone footage brother!! Dan
Thanks Dan
Excellent video!
Love the video love how skip looks.
Very nice herd, and Houston is a scream!
Houston sure loves the baby goats. If I was going to pick out a bottle baby I would have picked out the one Houston got and it's a good thing we are not set up for goats or I would be up there getting some of those cute babies.
Goat heaven! 🤗❤️
It's official! Houston needs a treehouse. Preferably down by the creek.
I was there yesterday ordering 26 goats
My husband said when I heal from my surgeries he will go on a road trip to Oklahoma to get some goats from you guys. It's 22 hours each way from where we are in MT you where you guys are. So 2021 =) if you are still selling.
Holy goat goals ! 🐐🥰🥰🥰🥰
What's up Daniel keep up the good work
They look fantastic
It looks Beutiful I love goats

Great video it was great watching it
Thanks.
I can repeat his story with my experiences with Boer vs Kiko
Really? I was looking at getting Boers
Now, that billy is getting him some action for real!
Omg Houston is just so darned adorable
Loving it all!!
Good video great folks!
Question: For a strong buck, how many does can he reasonably be expected to breed per season?
That was great. But I'm still not getting goats. I'll watch yours 😊
Good ol boy with that J frame 👌🏻.
Yep
Arms Family Homestead wish we’d see more folks in the states like that. Make your job a lot easier in my opinion. If criminals know there is a chance home owners are holding be less attempts, of any crimes really. Thanks for your service by the way. I’ve got family in Oklahoma.
Thank you so much. Exactly what I was looking for. What a turkey, um I mean that feathered thing not Huston.
Awesome! I'm glad it was helpful.
Love the goats
thanks for sharing i might be in the market. in a couple months
Don't hesitate to give them a call. I know that received several calls yesterday.
Omg, Huston is too cute!
very practical video
