It all depends on your farm and what you are raising them for. A lot of the show folks are wanting to lamb or kid in November or December for the Midwest, so they can have the right sized animal for show season. Other locations want to have January lambs to hit the right weight for Easter….. pasture raised and birthed animals are generally born in April-May. It is what it is. Different strokes for different folks.
@@LinessaFarmsGoats are for milk and meat. Can't imagine being wealthy enough to raise goats just to show them to other people. Guess that makes sense though.
We had the Dr give a 2 day talk last month in Canada. He talked about this issue as well. He had asked a number of us when we lambed and the vast majority lamb in Jan and Feb to get a head start on the development of the lambs. The bigger the lambs the more they weigh when we take them to be processed. This is why we lamb as early in the year as possible. 2 to 3 months makes a huge difference in weight. His idea on this would work well if we keep the lambs over a year.
Great clip. I will have to watch the full interview when I am able to.
Thank you!
it's good to learn from you! from Philippines, my own Boer and Nubian goats
Thank you very much. We appreciate you watching!
"65~75% budget has to do with feed" That sounds reasonable Idea. Sir
Sir thank you for good information!!!!!!^_____^
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching.
Don't forget the accelerated programs
Correct. If dealing with an accelerated program such as the Cornell star system, this all goes out the window.
January? They'd freeze to death here. I kid in April when the temps are higher and pasture is starting to grow back.
