Haven't you figured it out yet? This is Bear's show, you're just in it.
Go Bear ..go Bear !
How did you train bear to stay with your goats?
Get on with it ..!!!!
I don't know how homesteaders buy feed and no return investment I don't eat got and I don't drink Milk
Liked your point about selective breeding. I know squat about animals, but I select seeds in my garden, and its crazy how much a variety can improve in just a few generations when you choose the right genetics.
Low copper is one of the primary reasons for parasites. It's critical, though, to keep the goats that are parasite resistant. It's so hard to send on does that you love, but aren't really suitable for your breeding goals. I'd add that the #1 reason for chemical wormer failure is treating the entire herd instead of just the ones that need it. FAMACHA is imperative.
Are you saying you should only treat the ones infected, or that it is a mistake if you do?
@@cornpop6969 Treat the infected but don't keep them. Keep your herd strong and eventually you'll have a parasite resistant herd.
Doe selection was the number hardest lesson we had to learn here. Culling hard is vital. And it is hard. We loved them all.
Good info! I’m glad Bear let you get through it.
We have a nice small goat herd but last year all of our does aborted pretty further along. Vet said it was leptospirosis. He said it’s common in cows and in school they were taught that goats can’t get it but he swears they can. That was a very hard lesson learned. Anyway, this year produced several beautiful babies!
I love Bear. He should have his own show.
I agree with what you've said though I don't have a guard dog. They are in a good high pen at night and when it's raining. I was lucky as the doe I started with literally had her first two within five minutes, with no trouble.. She has passed the easy birthing on to her daughters who have passed it on to their daughters. Love my goats!
Bear's Family Homestead
I am so glad your number one was responsible breeding that is not based on color or how fond you are of an animal. I absolutely agree that so many of our problems with popular breeds is simply irresponsible breeding.
🤩 when you wake up and all your favorite homesteaders collab it's going to be a good day! Better to get along than fight, like some other homestead youtubers we all know!
I am just now getting around to watch everyone's & this was such an awesome collab! Thanks guys!!-Jason
Yes it was an all around good collab!
As long as your hand is on the dog, in his mind, you are petting him. He is being rewarded for pushing up on you like that. I think I read that in The Working Retriever. Great book, btw. Tom Quinn.
110 acres!!!!!!!! Wow that’s amazing. Where I live your lucky to get one acre.
Where i live (London) u are lucky to have a garden LOL
@@IrenaDeacon one of the most expensive cities in the world... who wouldve thought... 🤷♂️🤣
@@liamquinn1981 Hahaha ikr that's why i made a joke LOL it's not only expensive but it's overpopulated so if u have a garden its like a penthouse hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
We have a spot that my best friends Grandpa let’s all of us ride 4 wheelers and dirt bikes and its 160 acres
Masen Creekmore that would be perfect. :)
Bear thinks you're going to crazy town talking to people that aren't there.
Nancy Fahey I thought the same thing... he’s trying to stop what he perceives as unusual behavior
Haha. Yup, that must be it!!
Awwwww that's so spot on I think!
He's super worried his human is not okay & talking by himself 😆😂
You're a good Person! You love You're Dog and You're Goats!
That dark brown/light brown goat you pointed out as a pretty goat really is incredible, I was staring at it behind you and then you said what I was thinking, lol. Looks like ice cream!
Just noticed that my "smart" phone changed Hambone to Jawbone. I was referring to his photo bombing nature.
Wow, I've never seen an Anatolian that sweet. Must be the mix.
I raise Boer goats in Alaska, I love the breed. I have been very fortunate and have had good stock. I have found for us breeding for spring kids is healthier for the kids. Winter can be tough on those little ones and there is nothing cuter than a batch of spring kids jumping all over the yard. We have a Border collie that runs the yard and keeps the bears and other predators away. Worming is on an individual case, usually spring thaw and fall freeze. Sometimes I get an animal that needs a little more. Selenium is a biggy our soil is so depleted. So they get a dose before breeding and before kidding so those babies are strong to start. Thanks for sharing how it's done on your farm. I do agree that you need to cull heavy to make the breed strong. plus have a great buck "always breed up".
We just joined a 4H group in our neighborhood and that's how they do it. Every spring there's a bunch of babies born and people are buying their show goats. Winter weather isn't an issue for the babies at all.
Our goats get a pretty big area in the summer, but get closed up in a shed at night, and sometimes (depending on the pasture rotation) our two horses are in the pasture with the goats. Our two wethers (we have three goats, and will breed our doe hopefully) are tough little crappers. My wethers both have HUGE horns and definitely know how to use them.
Goats, no matter how big they are or how big their horns cannot defend against wild dogs or coyotes, esp a mama coyote teaching her pups to hunt. You're following yourself on that. We've had a 379# Boer buck that was killed by roaming domesticated neighborhood dogs defending his girls. Do not do this. Get an Anatolian and save your friends.
Smh.
Bear looks exactly like Ol' Duke, my best friend as a child/teen....the friendliest and chillest dog you could meet. A very sad day when he died at age 17.
He looks just like my boy, who I lost in May at 13yrs. I got him when he was 8wks. My boy, he put his paw on me just like that. Same, coat, markings and ears. I just want to pet bear♡
Know thy land and what can and can't be raised.. We recently closed our goat business in North east texas. Wroms and vet care was to much. The land was to humid and wet and parasties killed 310 goats out of 425. We auctioned off the rest
Daniel I believe Bear loves you more than life itself.😃Good informative video.
Good job "Bear" you are a awesome dog. Good to see you in another video
Really appreciate these tips! Perfect timing for us new goat owners! Thank you! 🐐
Follow me to tennessee added ya! Mine is outdoors and travel. Watch the goat mistakes pretty cool!
Our goats ate the bark off every tree we had in their enclosure. It killed them all. We had pygmy goats. I was sick about it. I lost one to worms.
Goats peeled our trees too
Dang! That's too bad! Did you keep minerals in with them, and/or a salt block? I just automatically put a good strong wire barrier between the goats and the trees, as i didn't want to lose the trees.
Why goats and not sheep?? Isn't there more money in sheep ????
THANKS FOR SHARING (BEAR).🇺🇲🌞✌️👍
Love y’all, my son is addicted to you Daniel.. I may have to ground his phone. I can’t get him to stop watching you.
Get him goats he has a mentor already.
Now, after being “critical” of what I called “commercials”, this is getting back to what I love about your site......being yourself. BTW, tell Houston he has “major competition.....BEAR. Being a dog lover, Bear is a real ham.....enjoyed his appearance.
You got my thumbs up. Parasites are the #1 Problem in goats & other livestock that creates a #2 Secondary Infection of Pneumonia, & #3 Eventual Failure of the goats or other livestock animal's Intestinal Function. Billions are spent yearly by professionals on this alone. I feel if they had a cheaper way that was actually effective, like the all natural methods, they would have been using them decades ago. Money is king where professionals are concerned. Which speaks for itself that they do not use them.
How in the world do people give you the thumbs down? Here ya’ go...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏿
Great job Bear!!!
I hope that you pass along the info on your does to the new owners, if you sell one...I think you seem like a honest person..and you would tell the new buyer why you are selling that certain doe...🙃🙃🙃
Great Job. Heard about the collaboration from Living Traditions. Watch several of you videos and had to subscribe. Go Bear.
The constant, unending interruptions are like watching someone with ADD. Solution: Put the dog inside or on the other side of the fence and make your videos uninterrupted. You have very good content. That southern drawl is relaxing and sounds very trustworthy - very easy to listen to. Just let that good content flow!
I just watched Dutch. Thanks to him I found your channel. Subscribed and bell is rung. Put it out and I'll watch. Parasites... Round worm, hook worm, whip worm and tapeworm then, there are stongyloids. Bear is a blessing. Puppy love
I’ve been watching y’all since I was 5 I live in keefkeeton
I thoroughly enjoy your goat videos. Thank you. Best wishes to you and your farm from beautiful Melbourne Australia with love.
Awesome video, could not agree with you anymore, we are having lots of problems with our boer goats.
I guess Bear thinks you're talking to him... cuz noone else is around in his mind! :)
I bet what he's thinking is... "Idk what you're saying to me.... BUT I LOVE YOU!"
“I picked her because I liked the way she looked even though she wasn’t a very good momma” - sounds like a classic male problem… 😳
Wow. Look at that baby face😉. Thankyou Daniel for sharing your wisdom. I have been trying to get a couple goats since spring and have been scammed twice. I don’t know who to trust about getting them
Bear, basking in the glow of praise! What a good boy. Reminds me of my dog, Nikki, when I was a little girl.
Thank you, this is great info. Our guardian dog reminds me of Bear 😂 I live in California, but have family in Sulphur (my mom is from Reagan). We want to get 2 little pigmy or dwarf goats so doing research on how to keep them and then finding a reputable breeder. There are a lot of backyard breeders but they are breeding mostly meat goats and selling the kids for slaughter (very popular among the large Hispanic community in our area). We also want to keep chickens but they are hard to find here because of Newcastle and we have to buy them locally. 🐐 🐓 🐕
Less stress watching you guys
Looks like Bear is excited to have a little interaction and love since you are in his territory where he usually is....looks a tad affection starved from humans and not goats...
Jerk face is doing his thing lol love t way he looks up at t camera like he’s going “really, I need privacy with my lady!”
Stay focus and stick to the point of discussion 😅
You seem great, but I subscribed for bear😉
Hello, Daniel and Bear. Great video❤❤❤❤❤.
Great,video I love your sweet doggy.and all your,beautiful gorgeous goats I love them all thank,you friend stay healthy and safe 🐅🐆🐐🐐🙂🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😋😘🙄😎🐐
Thank you so much I’m thinking about getting goats and your vids have helped a lot
Channel should be named Bear's Family Homestead. lol Great vid.
Glad to see your doing the collaboration this year. I had goats a few times but your right about the Boars goats. They are so stocky and a beautiful goat, but you have to worm them. We have non-climbing horse wire across the front of our property, but most of it is barb wire. Wished we were younger I would love to fence the barb wire with non-climbing horse wire and get some goats. There are weeds that the cows will not eat that the goats will plus I love goats. Anyone new to goats that want to raise goats find someone that has goats. See if they will answer questions and help you get started. Most people that have livestock is more than willing to help newcomers get started.
Please how often do you worm them from birth. Thanks a bunch!
@@whyistheworldsowicked It depends on the breed of goats. Some like the Boar goats need to be wormed more than the Kiko like Daniel has. He has some videos he made explaining the care of goats including worming.
I have downloaded several homestead sites but you are by far my favorite site to go to.
Mistake number 4 touch a working dog like a pet, the working dogs are adicted to work, the pet dogs are adicted to atention.
Check all spelling
LOL!! The sound from your goats are hilarious!!! Love it!
Bear: "Hmm...I think I should have my OWN RUclips channel."
You are 100% correct. you have to make notes every kidding seasons. If a doe needs help birthing or thir kids a breech, off to the auction she goes. Same with ewes and lambs.
Man your dog is so cute I love it.
I've raised kiko and kiko crosses. Now we are raising show boar goats and man is there a world of difference from kiko to boars.
Bear looks just like my dog Wrinkles! She acts like him too!
Good record keeping is a must all good animal programs. Enjoyed the video, love the goat meat, but really like mutton.
hey this is helpful I am a cattle farmer and getting a female goat and gonna use my friends buck to breed her I have to get her thought
I have a couple nubians and my cattle dog is named bear too.
it seems that when you focus on the camera and talk, Bear starts to think, “hey buddy, I want attention too!!” 😂😂
Thanks for the information
Yesterday i bought my first goats. Two 13 week old does as i explained how they would be used to help clear the land i also explained the next steps to increase our flock. I think 10 nannies will be my goal and any bucklings will be sold for meat. I will only rent the breading buck. I belive they are keko. Butvthen again they could be Nigeria dwarf
i didn't know sef mc farlen, the creator of family guy and american dad (spelling) leads this kind of life :)
thanks for sharing
Are you guys the ones who did the ad for the walk-in talkie phones
Hi..... Daniel, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
I'm New and I Appreciate yall for these Videos. Respect.
Bear needs a birthday party. With a cake and hats and the whole family. Make it so. Thank you.
Bear thinks you're talking to him 🤣
your guardian pup!! So cute !! And
QUESTION - I know you got Bear to be a herd dog, protector of the goats - He's some cute by the way...; just wondering if you have ever thought about having a donkey ? I heard here at home in Nova Scotia they are great for keeping away the predators like coyotes . MY husband and I are enjoying watching your channel daily (Kinda addicted to be truthful) , thanks for doing such a great job at sharing with your viewers. Very informative
I've thought about it but that's another BIG mouth to feed.
I love a person who takes the time to talk to dogs..
Thank you for the advice, I have a couple questions , How do you know if there are parasites inside of goats and also what kind of dewormer do you recommend?
Google famancha scoring. You can tell the color of their eyes. You can also take fecal samples to a vet and they will tell you what kind of worms you have and how to treat them.
@@ArmsFamilyHomestead good info, but what do you mean, by the color of their eyes? My husband used to tell our smart alec teenagers, "You're so full of crap your eyes are brown, hahaha!" But I'm pretty sure that's not what you're talking about here.....
Good video as usual! One thing I would ad, if you have Boer goats or a breed that is very likely to carry worms rotate the type of de-wormer you use. That was a lesson I learned the hard way when starting out.
Keko?
Iceland I would rotate dewormer regardless of the breed.
Thank you first time goat owner learned a lot
Parasites are huge. We goat kids for the first time this spring and one came with unknown Cryptosporidium. He ended up dying at about 3 weeks old, but he passed it to us and it went through the whole family, not a good time by any means!
What did you guys take to get rid of it??... Sorry this happened to you
I work on a goat farm here in Madison county NC. We make goat cow and sheep cheese. Im the farm hand i do the cow feeding milking and also feed the goats n sheep the hogs and ducks lol and the dogs. I do it 2 times a day Monday through sunday. I work anywhere from 76 to 83 hours a week n get paid $15 a hour which isnt bad and no taxs are taken we do W9s so even though the checks are massive come tax time alot will go to uncle sam lol... But anyway me n my fiancee bought two Nigerian dwarfs kids. There only 4 weeks old and so sweet lol. We have had em for 4 days now and there a blast. I love watching them play they bonce around and jump onto walls n bonce off them lol. They are full of energy i love em to death they are so cute. But thanks for the video man it deff helps out.. Even though i care for our 700 goats here at the farm im now a proud daddy of 2 kid Nigerian dwarfs. And now im learning alot with feeding bottles of milk and the feed and the alfapha hay n grass ect
Can you do a morning routine with your animals
Thinking about goats for brush. Fantastic videos, great host and Bear is off the hook. Fatal mistake not mentioned. Bear not having a canine back up. Dogs are very good in two's and three's. But they are very vulnerable alone. Coyotes, cougars, rare bobcats and rutting bucks will take a dog like that out, if it is alone. He needs a back up, even a beagle ....it is that distraction factor, but another large herding dog would be good.....in my LO.
Very true. He actually needs 2 more for herd that size. Really not fair to him.
found you a great video.the new goat rush in austrilia.big ferel goat round ups.people getting rich.
Good job Bear😷👍
Every time Bear barks in your videos, my Pyrenees, Brie, goes nuts. I love your videos.
Thanks 😊
New to the channel we have a small goat herd (about 15) I have a few friends who also have goats and I know a few of us have had problems with fence, it could be in my top 5 mistakes I made when I was new to goats, a good goat fence, if there is such a thing, anyways love the channel, keep the good videos coming!!
Thanks
Its hard to concentrate when all the animals are up to shinanigans ! I keep having to rewind to hear what is said ! These animals rock :D
Yeah I think I am done boar goats I lost my share to worms this year I think I am going to try to stick with the kikos we had very wet it hasn't been goat friendly but I think we are over but I like your in put
We don't have goat's. We have never had goat milk, meat or cheese This is good information if we decide to get some. What do you raise them for? Some raise them just to sell.
How is Bear doing? Watching this in 2021. He was confused because no onw was there and you were talking, so he thought you were talking to him.
yo that billiy goat got his mojo workin'
He's a buck, not a billy goat.
One of my pigs got out and broke the goats out. My dogs were out. Alone the dogs are fine. But together they seem to get some pack mentality going and things go south. One of my goats were roughed up by my dogs and I had to put the goat down due to his injuries. This has been my most fatal error now. I never thought my pigs would end up breaking the other animals out. Lesson learned.
Agree. Only get your goats from the same herd. Good stock from a good breeder. Do your homework. Don't buy goats here and there from different breeders. Choose your breed that serves your purpose. Everyone has goats from different reasons.
Any chance of a video on how you train livestock guard dogs?
there's really not much to it. make sure you have a livestock guardian breed of dog, example: anatolian shepherd, great pyranese etc. and keep them in the barn/fence with your livestock right when you get them, dont pay too much mind to them of course feed, water and check up on it everyday but its instincts will catch on. puppying and babying it will make it into a house dog.
@@ginawrzosek6879 its clear that Bear gets plenty of "puppying and babying" as you put it. Your advice may not be on point. It was just clearly stated that Bear does a good job. So who is giving bad advice hare? I think the original question was for a possible video on training a guard dog for livestock. Not ask Gina's opinion.
'
S Smith but did dan ever get a video or other advice on training a livestock guardian dog? no, he didn’t. i wasn’t giving bad advice, i gave friendly advice any other person who knows what they are talking about in this subject would give.
i never said bear did a bad job, everyone does everything different and i’ve known for years you shouldn’t baby your livestock guardians because they’ll be hanging around your house/barn more than they’d be out roaming with the goats.
@@ginawrzosek6879 I know almost nothing about raising livestock guardian dogs, but everything that I read supports what you said. The dogs should have maximum exposure to the livestock and limited human attention. Some owners give their dogs almost no attention while others give as much attention as Bear gets. I think due to Bear being young, he wants more attention. As he gets older, I assume he will seek less attention.
Gina Wrzosek No worries, you gave great advice and it sounds like you’re talking from experience.
Excellent chanel. Thanks.
Nice video and nice friend ( bear ) . Thanks for the tips.
Did u ever think about a Great Pyrenees?
*o wow I spoke 2soon!!*
