Sprout Goat Feed Pellets will help them gain weight. Hope you will do a Greek Yogurt video in the future. Thanks for sharing.

I’d love to know more about mini Nubians!

I’m considering goats for our mini homestead. How much bigger are the mini Nubians than the Nigerian dwarf, & why did you choose the mini Nubian over the ND? Thanks for the video!

We have Nigerian Dwarves and love them! We just had babies two weeks ago and I'm milking them, though we don't get much. I would love a video about the Mini Nubians and maybe even a hint as to how you make yogurt. Loved this video so much!! Goats can be a pain, but they're a fun and cute pain and in our family, we have them for the same reason: so much less maintenance than cattle!! Plus, a lot less space is required and a LOT cheaper to feed!!

I would love to know more about mini Nubian goats, why you chose them, and where you got yours from! Beginning to research mini dairy goats and was so excited for your video. I've loved your chicken videos and have followed and learned so much in the year I've had chickens. Bring on the goats! 😊

A video about why you went with the mini Nubianans would be great for us research nerds. I get a kick out of researching and selecting what I think will work best for my goals.

I have been a subscriber for several years and I just love seeing all the new things you are up to. You inspire me and give me hope that there are good people out there doing right by their families, the environment, and their animals. Thanks for taking us along the way!

This is such wonderful timing!! My husband and I were JUST talking yesterday about getting NDs or Nubians!!! thank you so much for this!

Had a large dairy goat operation 120-160 milkers in southwest Wisconsin back around 2005-2007. Had to shut it down after three years. But they were awesome and loved the milk. Sold milk to monthchevre cheese co at the time and had largest production herd in the area. Goats are smart, easy to manage and great reproducers. I had alpine, sannen, Nubian, and lamancha. Sannen and Nubian top two favs with Alpine great also. Had to sell out herd due to personal reasons and unable to find help at the time. No longer live in Wisconsin, moved to Texas end of 2007. I tested my goats for protein, fat, and production also to help accurately cull herd and improve genetics not to mention be able to prove their worth when I sold off offspring to other farmers. Sannens highest average production, Nubians highest average butter fat for my herd. High quality hay that I raised myself and supplemented with grain mix that I raised myself also. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work also but the animals were great and missed it when I had to sell. So enjoy the 2-3 milkers keep them happy and they will do the same for your family as you’ve already found out.

Hi Im here first! I love your channel! New sub, I've learned so much about chickens from you! Congratulations on your new goats!

Oh my goodness they are SO cute 🤩🤩

I can’t make a decision, I’ve been on my acres for 7 yrs and still deciding on a goat breed, but after watching your video when I do take the plunge I’m getting mini Nubians. So cute. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing. I loved your Goat barn too. ❤

Would absolutely love to know more about the breed of goats you have chosen❤

I love goats!! After all my babies go to their new homes (2 of my does had 4 kids each this yr.), I'll have a herd of 5 ND. So many things can affect weight. I'd start giving a ration of 16% protein grain and alfalfa pellets each day and go from there. Be sure to check how much to give based on weight of goat.

Those goats are really cute!

We have a mixed herd of ND and nubian/kiko. our reasons are exactly the same. What we’ve found after 4 years is that keeping our own bucks is much easier than either sending the girls out or bringing in someone else’s. Our goal is to keep 2 does milking with a 3rd on the bench - even with just 2 producing we are covered up in milk and are trying to find creative ways to use it. Yay goats!

all the things you said about the industrial meat system resonate with me heavily. i love your one step at a time approach, it is very inspiring. thanks for making these videos :)

Yes please goat video

I would be interested on why you chose the mini Nubians.

This has helped me in deciding on whether to get a full size dairy or a mini being told that they are harder to milk, (smaller milkers to latch) I didn’t see that with you milking at all. We are in our third year of growing our homestead so this has really helped. Thank you yea a video on the mini Nubians would be great.

I suggest feeding the left over whey to your animals for weight gain. That is what my family did anytime we had no other need for the whey. God bless you

As a child who was/is allergic to dairy my parents bought a goat, all I drank was goats milk as a child. Now that I’m in my 50’s my wish is to get a few goats, unfortunately my property is not fenced and we are currently dealing with mountain lions in the area. Our neighbor has lost 2 goats and 2 sheep due to the lions helping themselves to a tasty meal…. I just want to say I love that you are doing this!

Mini Nubians are the best! Regarding the thin doe, they can get thin this time of year while at their peak production. Especially the first fresheners and top milkers. Also parasite loads fluctuate so keep on top of them, but your browse, rotational grazing is a great plan. If your not already keep an eye on their FAMACHA 😁 We’ve had a young doe on the thin side too so I’ve been getting her on the stand mid day for some extra alfalfa pellets and Chaffhaye. This seems to be working.

I love goats...I had 14 at one point of various species but all of them were like my dogs and followed me hiking through old growth forests with my two dachshunds. I'll always miss having them around. If I win the lottery I'll have them again.

This video is fantastic!

I would love to see a video on that specific breed. That would be awesome. Trying to make some decisions myself.

Love your chicken footage

I used oil and oat-mo to fatten up an older gelding (Tennessee Walker). Not sure if a goat can stomach these, but the oil and mo put it on visibly for my old adopted friend.
