Well for names for your sheep I suggest John and Dear. That way you can have John Dear lawn mowers. LOL

I'm watching this 5 years after it was made and I gotta say good job to Austin. You look better now. More fit and healthy and confident. You don't look bad in this video. You just look better now in 2021. That's impressive. And Kay is just always gorgeous.

Also thank you for all the info you share with us! It is so helpful for all my research and planning!

Excellent video sir. Great description and well made. Looks exactly like where I'm wanting to be in a few years. Keep up the great work!

Thank you so very much!! I have been looking for this information. I appreciate you sharing.

Good looking choice! Thanks very sharing.

So very helpful! Thank you!

This guy seems nice person with nice family wish you all good fortune.

Tennessee allows buying goat shares, when you pick up your own goats milk you can usually pay you boarding fee to the farmer. Works well here.

very helpful video. thank you

Speed and growth rate of the bloodlines is a beneficial trait, and I have been dealing with predators and lost all but 1 of 3

If you are looking solely for production _quantity per animal_, then yes, these breeds may be for you. If you're looking for animals better capable of surviving under natural pasture land without supplemental feed, and with unique nutritive properties not found in overly selective-bred animals, then more ancient, small animal breeds will likely suit you well. It's important to remember that smaller animals, while smaller at slaughter, require less supplemental feed, more vigorous breeds less management and have lower mortality rates under natural circumstances, and can be stocked in greater numbers. Not all meat is created equal in nutritive and flavorful properties, nor milk-- even at the breed level. Of course, if you're looking into this for money, then it is understandable that customers habitually go for quantity over quality, so that may not be an option. But small animals are perfectly useful if you decide to eat them yourselves- if you're willing to eat the organ meats, which tend to be better developed in more vigorous animal breeds, and far more nutritious than just the muscle meat. They're also much easier to butcher yourself when they're small. If I were to recommend dairy goats for vigor and low maintenance, it would be the Kiko goat. It's bred for meat, but is capable of producing enough milk to feed its rapidly growing (and frequently occurring) twins, thrives well by vigorously eating poor quality forage, and is an otherwise very survivable animal with good survival instincts. If you want a smaller animal that won't eat everything in its path to bits, I would cross it with a Nigerian Dwarf goat- they're beautiful (good for pelts), and they produce exceptionally rich milk on low feed. I think your choice of sheep was great- some other good ones I found include Icelandic sheep, or Damara sheep.

Looking good!! Names? Hairy and Merry :-). Was one of those young nubians the one you lost? Eager to hear about the sheep. The guy who owned our property befor us did sheep. We have done everything but them, simply because they seem difficult to me. Best wishes with your new flock! Melodee

Great video liked👍 thank you

Cool video. Goats are awesome. I have Boer/Alpine crosses & LaMancha.

Hey, just found this video doing a search for Nubians. I live in PA - does your relative's goat farm have a website?

hi i would like to know if you keep your buck with the female goats thank you great video

I am really thinking about getting some goats for some milk and some meat. I do not have any experience with them and would like to get some good info from you.

Yes, Daisy. Will talk about that in this next weeks episode :(

Raising nubians on my farm for almost 20 years

Can you mix 🐐 breads. Like a couple angoras a couple cashmere a few dwarfs and a few saanda? Like I want alllll the Goats 🐐 but see most farmers only have one breed only.

What do you think about Suffolk breed, plz advice

#ASKHOMESTEADY Could you do a video explaining how hardy Nubian goats are, and comparing their pros and cons to other dairy breeds.

Goat cheese, goat yogurt, goat ice cream and goat butter in addition to your daily milk needs. Each goat has her own taste to her milk. Food can change the taste of the milk. Lol be goats. 💚🐐

Love Nubians. We raise Oberhaslis for Milk. I cant bring myself to eat my goats. We raise lambs with no issue, but the goats have too much personality. We didnt go with Nubians because they are a little more vocal. Greta video. Well made. I enjoy them alot!!

Great video informative video! Well done and thanks for sharing.

Wait question, you said taste the milk, do different breeds of goats have different flavors of milk? The milk I've bought from the health food store were really.... Smelly and tasted like how a goat smells. Maybe it's just something to get used to? My husband and I want to have a small group of goats (about 6 in total) we're planning in about 5 years to start our homestead.

I am looking into getting goats and possible sheep for my homestead. I want a dual purpose breed I do not drink milk (unless it is chocolate occasional) So I want a goat with a high fat content milk Since I would make cheese and soap out of the milk. The other thing is I would like to also use them for meat for mostly the males I do not want to keep and maybe the female if I have to many to manage of them.

Have you looked into kinder goats? They are Nubian crossed with pygmy goats. Meat and dairy goat.

The sheep would be fun called Bow and Peep

Call your ram Porkchop. I know, maybe a bit weird, but cute. Had a rooster named Porkchop.

Do you have a link to your aunts farm for anyone interested in buying their Nubians?

I love Nubians and Alpines. I really love the cross. Some people call then Nupines. They're a bit hardier.

Sheep are high maintenance. And require more than just your lawn grass for feed. I hope you have done your research on this

Hey like your video we goats too!

Do you just drink the milk straight from the goats? Or is there more to it?

how well do they do on diy feed that goat breed? all homegrown feed? all diy feed for sheep? pasture finish?

Hello could you tell me the city that your family members are in.

In England, eating lamb without Mint Sauce is unthinkable, so 2 ideas for you, call one of the sheep Minty (as in the herb Mint), and try growing/making mint sauce, once you try it, you will never eat lamb without it again. All the best.

"Less taxes paid to the government" hahahaha awesome. That comment won me over.

Where do you guys get your Sheep and Goats? And also what state do you guys live in? :)

7yrs later.. how's those Nubians working? I wasn't planning to have Nubians, but I acquired four nannies in the fall. I heard a Saanen/Nubian cross is a great meat/milk goat. But if you think your Nubians are better than said cross, I'm all ears... and I'm looking for a buck

for names how about ba,a,a,a,b i hope this helps :-P

youtube unsubscribed me. I subbed again

I gotta good one for your sheep you should name them meatballs and chops....

Rambert for the Male sheep

It's probably too late but Peppin for a name. My interest is Pasties. English right Cornish pasties. :) milk, cheese..
