    About Sweet Briar Farm
    We are a small farm located in Central/Northern Michigan. We farm every inch of our 6 acres. We breed Registered Dairy Goats, Dexter Cattle, and Heritage Hogs. Clean healthy food is important to us and we like to produce the majority of our food on the farm and we grow and raise enough to sell to local customers. Producing our own food also means we forage for wild edibles such as mushrooms and tap our maple trees in the spring to make maple syrup. In 2019 we added honeybees to the farm and have had as many as 30 active hives producing honey for us.
    Our goats include Nubian goats, Mini Nubians, Fainting Goats, and Nigerian Dwarf goats.
    Our Heritage Hogs include: Registered Kunekune Pigs and Hereford pigs!

    A valid and valuable comparison for people to consider . I am considering getting the Nubian for an entirely different reason. We have horses that at one time were boarded where they had Nubian. Our horses seemed to mingle and hang out with those goats while other horses did not. It seemed an odd bond was developed between them but it was very pleasing to watch. I find the Nubian pleasing to the eye and possibly a companion animal.

      The only down side is the girls scream when they want their daily ration of grain😂 We are used to it though.

      Ha that I can handle....trimming hooves was the downside when we had goats.

      Having a milk stand makes hood trimming much simpler.

    After you get done making cheese or what ever you can take the whey and spray your pastures with it. It is awesome fertilizer. I learned that from my friend we are getting milk from. :)
    Happy 4th of July!!

    I'm buying a goat that's half Nubian and the other half Nubian miniature, how much milk do you think I will get

    • @SweetBriarFarmMichigan
      @SweetBriarFarmMichigan  8 месяцев назад +1

      Depends. Are the dam and sire from good milking lines? 3/4 of a gallon a day would be a reasonable expectation.

    Can you imagine having to walk with that lump between your legs? LOL. I used to hand milk our goats as a teenager. It was powerful, I'm pretty sure I could hit a target from 30-35 feet. Now as an old lady I seriously have Popeye arms.... hahahah. Get those kids working on their forearms!!! Love your channel!

    what makes them so skinny

    • @SweetBriarFarmMichigan
      @SweetBriarFarmMichigan  5 дней назад +1

      The dairy breeds invest more of their energy into producing milk than meat. They look skinny but are in good condition.

  • @doubledranchmi01
    @doubledranchmi01 Год назад +1

    I think it all depends on the goat. Now my purebred Nubian doesn’t give me anything close to my minis.

  • @7kinhomestead
    @7kinhomestead Год назад +1

    Awesome!! I was just wondering about this. Someone offered us 2 minis and I wasn't sure if they would produce enough for the family. They are from proven milk lines but now I think I will take another look. Thanks for the video.

    • @SweetBriarFarmMichigan
      @SweetBriarFarmMichigan  Год назад

      A half gallon for once a day milking is not bad for the mini. With our family that goes quick!

    • @doubledranchmi01
      @doubledranchmi01 Год назад +2

      I do get a gallon from a couple of my minis. And just a quart from my standard Nubian. It all depends on milk genetics.

    • @SweetBriarFarmMichigan
      @SweetBriarFarmMichigan  Год назад

      Yes! The minis are supposed to produce almost as much milk as the full Nubians but require less feed to do it. Minis are definitely a worthwhile way to go.

  • @highroad3580
    @highroad3580 Год назад +1

    We milk Nubians. We found that what we feed makes a difference as well a conditions of the day. Milk drops after thunderstorms and hot days. What helps your does produce their best.?

    • @SweetBriarFarmMichigan
      @SweetBriarFarmMichigan  Год назад +1

      Kelsey uses a mix of sweet feed, kalambach goat grain, alfalfa pellets, and if we can get them cheap enough black oil sunflower seeds
