You have the most informative small ruminat videos of anyone I've found on RUclips.
Thanks. Glad you find the channel useful.
Graham crackers - my goats are not happy if they don’t get a Graham cracker treat, or at least a sliced apple or banana. And a good brushing and head massage. Great video. Goats are a great animal. I love mine, as challenging as they can be at times. They also need some kind of entertainment - something to climb and jump on to keep from getting bored. They are very intelligent creatures.
Thank you! Please keep posting content, it’s very helpful and has given us confidence in raising sheep.
We appreciate your sharing and the orderliness. Your good shepherd your animals are always smiling
Thank you!
We live in north Michigan and apsloooootly love love your tips. We have sheep and goats. Learning from you.
Thank you!
Hello fellow Michigander! Northern Michigan is my happy place, though my home is on the west side. I hope you enjoyed our spring weather last week as much as I did!
I've used that automatic waterer from ebay. Works great. East to clean and it's stainless for better sanitation. Even froze completely during winter and didn't break
Thank you very much for this informative video
Great stuff as usual. Blessings!
Thank you.

Nice video
Thanks
Thanks Loni for this great video.
Been watching your videos lately. Its very helpful and informative.
I noticed your goats are peaceful than mine.
They always hit and horn one another. Is that really normal or there is need to be done? Thank you

Thanks for watching the channel. I would guess your goats behavior is pretty normal. Mine regularly have little fights too. Some are meaner than others.
Thank you Lonnie. I'm watching all your videos. Can you suggest a source that is more specific about small herds of 3 or 4 sheep, just for grass mowing? I'm in Colorado so also wondering about winter. And building "sheep tractor" that will allow me to do rotational grazing on a steep hill? I'll keep perusing....
Thanks for watching the channel. Unfortunately I don’t have many contacts in Colorado, so I really can’t point you to any sources to obtain a small flock there.
When you're doing meat goats and moving them on pastures, how do you provide housing for them for protection from the elements?
That is my biggest challenge with goats and rotational grazing. I just have to link the paddocks to the barn in the winter. In the summer, sometimes they just have to get rained on.
Check, check, check, check, and check. I do free range my goats, but I have a pen to lock them in at night and they have a "bodyguard" that protects them when they are roaming. I know the majority of people can't do what I do. I do find that they tend to do a circuit around "home base", so they are pretty much sticking to my property with just a little overlap at times. It's not a problem for my area.
Sounds like you have a good system.
Love the name “Honey Hollow Homestead “ very cool, I trust its a pleasant orderly farm, pass on the joy!
@@Jamesjghome Well, it's a goal to get it that way. 😄
@@HoneyHollowHomestead our farm in north Michigan was born 1901’ suffered immensely neglected and disrepair. We owned it over 40 years and very now proud of it. Slow and steady wins the race. Have a good master plan, avoid temporary stuff, increase as you can debt free. Don’t be afraid trust God’s supply
@@Jamesjghome Thank you! 😊
Just give mine water and an area to graze that’s it
We have goats and have found they always run for the woods to get shelter from rain and stuff. Would you say the sheep handle the elements a lot better than goats?
True!
Maybe unrelated but hoping you could help. I'm in southern Québec and we have used dried leaves as bedding for many years. This year however we've lost 1/4 of our lambs so far. Vet thinks it might be urinary infection related and asked about the leaves, thinking they might be causing or be part of the cause. I really doubt it myself because when outside in the fall I often see our Dorset sheep eating fallen leaves.
What do you think?
I have no experience with this, but I would not think that would be a problem, but I don’t know.
Thak you very much for getting back to me so fast. I'll let you and everyone else know how this all unfold.
Whers is your farm located country?
I’m in Alabama, United States.
Is there anything that can be done to limit ticks
I don't have any personal experience, but I believe there are repellents that you can mix and spray your herd/flock. I think it would have to be done fairly frequently though.
We use guinea hens sounds terrible but love to eat ticks
Is it okay to keep 2 Dogs in Goat Farm? Does Dogs Barking hurt or feel anxiety in Goats.
Pls advise and explain
If the dogs are harassing the goats or sheep, it is probably not good. Too much stress.
However if the dogs are calm around them, they can be good. Often dogs can be a good source of protection from predators.
Horse hay is more course.
What breed of Goat do you have?
Mostly Kiko and Boer.
@@rollingofarm do you personally think Kiko are that much better than Boer? Everything I here about Boers from Kiko Breeders is that it's impossible to keep from dying, or that they stay wormy.
Anyone interested in Christian homesteading communities???
