Goat Wise | Meat Goats, Feeding Goats, Goat Fencing, Livestock Management

Hi friends!  Today we’re talking about does, different options on when to breed them, and I’ll give you a strategy to use to determine whether your does are ready to breed or not.  I’ll also be talking about replacement does, expected replacement percentages and how to use those numbers to reach your goals of herd improvement and growth.  You might want to jot down some numbers today, so grab a notebook and pen and let’s dive in!
 
All the Best!

Hi friends!  We’re harvesting animals and stocking the freezers, so what better time to talk about the food system, food storage, and how to build your food security, specifically as it relates to meat and protein.  We’ll be talking about simple ways to get started building your food storage, things to consider when it comes to buying and storing meat, and how to build a relationship with a local rancher so you’ll still have access to food if we see another large-scale failure in our food system.
 
All the Best!

Hi friends!  The bucks are in rut and smelling ripe, so today we’re going to talk about what you need to know about buck management and selection, if you should own a buck or not, the options you have to get your does bred without owning a buck, and how to select your buck if the time is right for you to own one or two.  Let’s dive in and figure out the best breeding option for your farm or homestead!
 
All the Best!

Hi friend! 
 
Hi friends!  Today we’re talking about sustainability, how to evaluate options to determine which ones are most sustainable long-term and how that will help you increase your future self-sufficiency.  We’ll be talking about a sustainability mindset as it relates to your home, food, and especially livestock.

Hi friend! 
 
Today we’re talking about lessons learned raising 4-H livestock over the last decade, and how those same lessons apply to raising livestock for food, homesteading, and self-sufficiency.  We’ll be talking about the way we approach the 4-H livestock program, which tends to be quite different than others, but it’s resulted in a lot of success for us, and how we use those same things we’ve learned to fast-track our progress raising livestock and growing the homestead.
 
All the Best!

Hi, friend!
 
Today I have a special guest on the show, my oldest daughter, Sage, who turned 18 in March and is finishing up her last year in 4-H.  We talk about the lessons she’s learned raising livestock, how it has affected her and her life view, the way it opens communication as we work together, and she even has a bit of advice for parents who want to give their kids the same experience.  This is part 2 of 2, and the first part aired last week.  You don’t want to miss this!
 
All the Best!

Hi, friend!
 
Today we’ll be talking about mineral for goats, why they need it, what works best, how to keep from wasting expensive mineral and the short- and long-term benefits.  I’ll tell you about the mistakes we’ve made, the lessons we’ve learned, and what we’re doing now that is working really well for the goats and for us.
