We finally got GOATS!!!! In the video we will introduce you to our new Mini-Nubian and Nigerian Dwarf goats, give a tour of their new goat playground, show some upgrades to the goat barn and even a little glimpse into milking our momma goat! Please note, we are still learning and are not experts.... so if you see something off, kind suggestions and helpful advice are welcome ;)
Thanks for watching!

I've got to say, your daughter presentation about HER goats was very impressive. I know you & your wife must be so proud. Moving on, I had to reroof my little cabin after hurricane Zeta blew through couple years ago. We pulled out all the pink insulation & put the 1/2" foam between the rafters & the metal roof & I could feel an immediate difference, even had to turn off the A/C a couple nights, which has never happened. The cabin is in southern Alabama, 80 miles from the coast & I normally run it 24/7 when I'm there. I'm pondering on trying your "safari roof", but afraid it would become a wasp condo. Love your channel, found it looking for plans for a plant pit & found your in-ground greenhouse, still waiting for updates on that, hint hint. Thanks for the entertainment & sharing your vision(s), skills, etc. Cheers

@homesteadonomics 2 жыл бұрын

Well thank you so much David! We are so proud of her😊 As for your cabin in AL. Sounds like a great place. I think the safari roof might help but it sounds like your 1/2 rigid foam did a great job as well. As for the greenhouse. Oh man, I get so many questions on it and just keep putting off update videos as I like to show progress…. And I haven’t gotten to doing the gabion retaining wall that I have planned for so long🤦‍♂️. Right now it’s just a hot box. But come this fall it’ll be back in full usage. Stay tuned as I will definitely be doing some more vids on it as my wife has started to remind me as well😉👍

Congratulations on the new additions to the family. You need to get one of those dogs that are breed to be guard dogs now to protect your little farmstead. Them dogs stay w/the heard & will fight to the death to protect whatever kind of heard you have. Even your chickens. You might think about that Joe. It would watch things while your not there like camping trips that last longer then 2 days. Would be nice to know the animals would be safe when your away or @ night while you sleep.

Oh my gosh that’s one of our favorite camp spots! Back then she was all into the ‘parkour’ thing….. but now it’ll be jumping “like the goats” on rocks😂 As for the milk. My wife and and daughter had tried goat milk but I never had until now. And I’m not much of a milk drinker to begin with…. More interested in doing cheese or soap, etc,. BUT I have to say they Belle’s milk is really good! I was surprised! Tasted very mild, almost simlar to cows milk. So I’m not sure why people will say it has a taste. But then again they are eating mostly alfalfa and not weeds. So I’d guess once we start getting them out and letting them eat tiger stuff it’ll change the flavor a bit.

Congratulations on the addition to your flock. The improvements to the goat area are impressive. I noticed in the background of your closing statements that the tree is somewhat fenced and being nibbled on by the kids. What are your plans for the goat milk? Another great video, thanks for sharing this insightful, delightful video presentation. Wishing you and your family another blessed week and a gentle season. Peace brother

Thanks! It’s been a fun little adventure so far! As for the milk. We’ve been using it just like regular milk… with cereal, oatmeal, etc,. But I’ve got plans to try our hand at cheese making very soon. I’m not much of a milk drinker. So cheese and maybe some other things like trying it with some soap or lotion, etc,.
