Nothing better than grain feed meat I added a flock of goats to my beef operation a couple of years ago your videos have helped me out a bunch thanks

started out as grass only but as soon as it got cold and with very little grass I went to a sweet feed and some corn to keep them going . an old tobacco barn is all the shelter I have on the place and will soon take that away from them when I separate out the ram kids to a new paddock. good job Tim with a lot of information on just about everything, please keep it up

I agree that what I do feed lambs and I feed my ewes and my rams all year long

❤ I enjoy every minute off your teaching nobody like you

Great advice, as usual. Good job! THANK YOU!

Learned a lot from this. You're awesome, Tim. Thank ewe.

Great content!

Sir thank you for your great channel. I'm a retired Army vet from Ohio raising Berkshire pigs. I'm going to start raising Boer goats and hair sheep. I have a goat producer to buy breeding stock. can you recommend a hair sheep producer that I could buy breeding stock from? Also please don't let trolls get too you. God bless the education your giving us to be successful farmers. The reason I'm a farmer is because I want too feed some local people who can't afford to feed themselves and make a living for my wife and I. When I was a combat soldier I felt like I was fighting for people who could not fight for themselves which was a great feeling of service. So as a farmer I want too feed single mothers with children who can't afford to feed themselves. I feel no one in America should go hungry no matter what their circumstances are. So I hope you keep educating future farmers. Thank you so much sincerely Dale

Excellent teaching, Thank you. For your round bail feeder, add cow panels inside of the feeder.

Thanks for your information on the livestock i enjoy this very much

The pulled Dorset Texel cross is amazing and makes awesome ewes!

I was eyeing those feeders quite a lot. I will have to try to make a couple of those. I have a sawmill and will try to give it a go. I am building a sheep ranch in the Columbus Indiana area, so I enjoy watching what you have to say. Keep up the good work and thank you for your effort.

Wow thanks tim.i was expecting it will take sometime before you features creep feeding.more power Ang God bless.learning a lot from you

I raise Texel sheep in NW Ohio I appreciate your videos

I like your farm setup, hope to work with You in future😅

This is Debra love the videos learning alot

Happy Easter, and thanks for the video! I'm sorry to hear you're getting some trolls, cuz the information you give is really gold. That said, I know I won't be following all your advice to a T, but that's because I have a different set up and different purpose for sheep than you do. It doesn't mean either of us is right or wrong, just different. It's sad some people don't get that, but there's a certain stage in learning development early on when kids (and some adults, unfortunately) believe that everything is black and white without any shades of gray. Nothing is set in stone, and once people get their hands dirty and build real experience, they learn it... sometimes the hard way. I've experienced that with my chickens numerous times when they get sick or injured. Usually web sources are doom and gloom, saying to euthanize the chicken because it will die anyway, but I find that with isolation, vitamins, and some basic first aid, my chickens are back to 100% in 2-3 weeks. Sorry to get off topic, I just want to emphasize again how helpful your videos are. I think a live Q&A is a great idea! I think of new questions with almost every video I watch. Like today I wonder, if I do miss that Easter market window, what's the best thing to do with the lambs financially? Selling at the wrong time is a blow, but so is feeding extra mouths. Is there much market for mutton?

I just want to raise a couple to send to freezer camp

Great video! Loved taking a tour of your setup. Do you have a blue print of the feeders? How do you keep our waters from getting algae in them?

Tim I was Eyeing that Feeder right before you mentioned it. I'd love for Us to build that but we would need a Top on it due to all the rain we get I think . Great Idea my husband has been racking his head trying to invent something that will not waste hay.! Great video, Great information thank you. I believe we also have a late momma sheep too! Blessings to you and Family.

Thanks for the info, I was wondering how much grain to feed and you took care of that. Brother your rooster was working overtime on that crowing.

Your not doing Patreon anymore ? I can't find your Chanel on Patreon

Hello Tim, thank you so much for your videos they are the most helpful i have found. Thank you as well for taking the time to respond to almost every comment, it is not that common and really appreciated. I leave in the country side in France, English is not my first langage so excuse me if there are mistakes in my writing. I have 3 goats and plan to add 3 little sheep (ouessant), for helping me taking care of my property. I want to have them healthy and in good shape, which is not the case rightnow. I have been having them for 6 months now and I have made many mistakes along the way, but I am learning and correcting (a lot thanks to your teaching). I see you have your goats and sheep seperated, what is the reason? Do you think it is possible to mix them in my case with 3 of each? Thank you

Hi, what is your advice for a 1 month old Boer orphan that weighs 20 pounds and eats 2 cups of grain. 1 cup calf manna, 1 cup of 18% goat pellets. Is this enough feed? He won't take a bottle.

Would you recommend cooked or soaked grains for smaller goat kids or uncooked broken grain is alright from day 1

Starting at which age can I introduce grain? I'm raising goats for milk.

I feed grain

Tim, do you save and use the wool or discard it? Sell it? Also do you just take your to the auction or get them butchered and then sell the meat? What of your goats? Do you sell for meat?

I've been "throwing em out on pasture" for years. I saw what happens, and I really like it. So you say you don't wanna go "toe to toe" with people who you disagree with and you don't wanna tell people what to do - then proceed to tell people what to do. 😂. Then you say "you don't know what their talking about" refering to hoof trimming and in the same breath say you have to do it twice a year for every one!😂 Does never having to do it sound good? I think your issue is that your farm is so addicted to these processes and you don't want to go through the pain of transitioning the farm to an easier ans healthier system

I don't feel that you have to explain why you do what you do to anyone. When we first got into sheep we had the same idea as some with all grass, no grain and minimal medicines but after watching all of your videos and many others we found reality and have a middle ground. I am only 2 years in and really liking the results that I don't believe I would have gotten without some grain and some medications

Just curious how much gain you’re putting on your goat kids a day?

If you use chicken manure, don’t you have problem with sheep “dislike” the pasture?
