Lovely countryside views. Your goats look in fine fettle. Glad you did not get badly hurt. I love our bucks but it just goes to show you how quickly things can go wrong. Rarely do they come at you. In my case I am just usually in the wrong place at the wrong time. (in the way)
yep i have never had an issue with him and dont worry about my kids being with me in the paddock with him, but he is a big animal with a mind of his own and he didnt want to do what i wanted!! He goes in with his ladies in a couple of weeks and will resort to his usual self once again!
G'Day guys, I have been really enjoying watching another Aussie farming my favourite animal. Its so nice to see your family help out and enjoy being around these beautiful animals. You have been teaching me so much about Boer Goats in Australia, as each country farms them slightly different I have noticed. I feel like you and your family care for them so much, as a retired nurse that make me feel really good to know that they are having an amazing and happy life with you. Which I can tell as they run up to see you in every video. My parents and myself are moving to 20 acres in Cottles Bridge Victoria and I have been trying to turn them to looking at goats over sheep, especially looking at our pastures that goats would love. Plus goat prices are much higher than lamb prices currently and the demand is very high. Plus I love that the does always follow you, I have never seen sheep do that. I think the one thing that has been making me slightly nervous is I am not a large strong female and the bucks do worry me when I need to trim their feet or give them their wormer etc. We would absolutely start small and make sure we get a buck that is very friendly or one I have bottle fed even. I would prefer to take my time growing that bond with my buck and maybe get a few does already in kid than purchase a buck I don't know much about. Or what is your opinion for a family with x2 women and my dad caring for the does and bucks? Any tips would be amazing and I am pretty sure I found your facebook page too, so if its easier to chat there just let me know. Cheers, - Janelle
Thanks for the feedback, its awesome that you like the videos, we really love what we do and feel blessed to be able to do it every day! If you are worried about using a bigger buck, start with a younger one, we succesfully used "Ringer" our new buck when he was 8 months old. You might get used to him as he grows or you can move him on and get another younger one. I would be very cautious getting a bottle fed Buck as they could be a bit cheeky and overstep the mark. Good luck with it all!
@@ChandlerParkGoatStud Thanks so much for replying I am really excited to see how your autumn kidding goes. I am excited to see all the kids hit the ground. I used to help my friend out at her family sheep farm in Gippsland during lambing season, it was a crazy time of year. Plus I was a nurse for 10 years so I have gotten my hands dirty. We hope to start small, with a young buck, like you suggested, maybe that has just been weaned off mum, as he has had all of the colostrum from her. Then hopefully he we can start building that relationship that many people who have always had bucks say to do (basically everything but not encourage head butting) and ensure he stays a calm, happy & friendly goat. I even know of a man in the states who can hood trim his Boer buck in the pasture… that would be pretty amazing. We definitely would like to start small. I am wondering if you have heard of people selling does already pregnant? Or is there a way we could borrow a buck for one breeding? We would starting with two or three does. Mainly because it’s my parents first looking after goats and my first long term farming goats. We want to make sure it’s right for us and our land. Anyway, thanks for the videos. I learn so much in all of your videos. Oh actually! One thing I have always wondered which I don’t know if other people may be interested, (?a video idea 💡). When you mixed up their grain in that bin, with oatin and seaweed etc. I would love to know why you specifically put that into their feed. Is the feed different for the does and the bucks like in pigmie goats? Have a great week and say hi to your lovely family, Janelle
God bless to this beautiful family and hatsoff to your wife she doesn't stand back with folding arms
