    Great video! Anyone wanting to raise goats and sheep should watch this. We raise goats. Anytime someone approaches us about wanting to raise goats, I always tell them the most important thing to survival is rotate, rotate, rotate.

    You could try Joel Salatins chicken tractor method to use birds to help clean up the cattle/sheep/goat poop on your pasture.

    How often do you have bloat in sheep? Im not sure if what I’m seeing is normal swelling or bloat.. still new but what research I’ve done has me worried

      I’ve only had a couple of cases in the past 20 years.

    We rotationally graze a flock of sheep and goats. In setting up the next couple of paddies, we came across a fox den. We’re going to graze around the fox den, but are surprised as to how the fox got in the pasture since we have six and seven strains on electric high-tensile fencing. Our fence is very hot, 8k volts. In any event, do foxes tend to be a problem with sheep and goats, especially when these small ruminants are birthing? Also, we’re concerned about dogs barking at night with neighbors close by. Any suggestions as to how we might find a guardian llama or possibly other livestock guardian animal? Thank you for your help.

      I have never had problems with foxes, but I’ve heard others talking about them be a problem for small lambs and kids.
      I don’t have any experience with llamas. Donkeys may make more noise than dogs.

    If you have a rotational grazing grind and other paddock fences touch can you have multiple fence chargers on it would it do the same as multiple ground rods making the bite of the fence sharper

    • @rollingofarm
      @rollingofarm  Год назад

      I’m not sure about that. I don’t know how multiple chargers would work on a fence.

    How long show I keep it my goat in that piece of land?

    • @spoolsandbobbins
      @spoolsandbobbins Год назад

      We do 3-5 days depending on parcel size, number of sheep and how rainy it gets.

    Hi - Do you have any recommendations as to how to provide shelter for goats if implementing a rotational grazing system?

    • @rollingofarm
      @rollingofarm  10 месяцев назад

      If you only have a few you may be able to rig up some kind of portable shelter. But if you have a large number, I don’t know any other way then to have all paddocks connected to your barn.

    what do you recommend to give goats that have a cough? I bought some at an auction noticed one with a cough now all 3 are coughing

    • @rollingofarm
      @rollingofarm  Год назад +2

      It is not uncommon for them to get “shipping fever” (cough, snotty nose, runny eyes) anytime they are moved to a new environment or mixed with new animals. Most of the time it will run its course without problems, but you can give a shot of antibiotics (oxytetracyline, brand name LA-200, or Nuflor).

    I have 45 acres and plan on putting goats on it and doing rotational grazing. How many goats in your opinion can I put on the 45 acres?

    • @troygarrett7735
      @troygarrett7735 Год назад

      What I understand from watching your videos is 4-5 goats per acre but I’m a little confused is it 4-5 goats per acre on each paddock you’re putting them on or is it 4-5 per acre figured it on 45 acres?

    • @lonnieoldag9011
      @lonnieoldag9011 Год назад

      I would figure 3-4 goats per acre (3 goats x 45 acres = 135 goats) if you have good browse or pasture. You may divide that 45 acres up into smaller paddocks and run all 135 in a 5 acre paddock for a few days before moving them.

      That is the exact information I was looking for that will help me to get started. Thank you so much for your help. Also, thank you for all the information on all your videos. Please keep them coming they help a ton.
