You could, but we don't because we don't really have a problem. What you saw in the video was a surprise to me. As a side note we have guinea fowl and they are suppose to help by eating the ticks. Clearly they missed this one, lol!
Love your videos! So cool to see Acacia too! I have a twisted question. I hear there are many things in the wild that goats can’t eat. Do you know what everything is in your fields and woods? I will be buying a farm soon and want to have goats. I have read a lot about how to raise them but I have learned more from the videos I watch like yours. How do you identify the things in your fields?
Depending on where you live, your local agriculture department can help. I'm not aware of any noxious plants in my field and have never had an issue. Be careful tho as some ornamentals like azaleas may cause an issue.
If Google is correct 100°F is about 37-38°C. O.O I hope all of you have enough to drink. P.S. What the Hell are people thinking when they try to breed animals of clearly incompatible sizes?! All that will happen is that everyone involved in the process will suffer, especially the mom and the offspring. I'm guessing they also mourn the loss of their young. - Your girl seems to be doing well, but it must have been difficult. :( Hm, do goats accept hugs? I know dogs don't appreciate human style hugs because they feel boxed in. Not sure how that would work with goats.
They didn't do it on purpose as they had no idea they could be bred at such an early age. An accident, but yes still tough on the moms. It was a while ago, but she is okay. Not really a hug, but cuddles. They like to come over and lay next to you or lick you. It's Iike their version of a hug :)
@@twistedcape Ah, I follow, thank you for clarifying. :) I thought the bad breeding match up was intentional. My apologies if an accusation was thrown around needlessly. I guess it's just incredibly easy to sympathize with animals as they might not have a choice or even fully understand what's happening to them in such situations. - That has to be incredibly scary. Oh and thank you for notes on how goat affection works. :D
Awesome vid love the herd yikes ticks ,don't need that, lyme diesase and other stuff the goaties don't need. can you treat your land for them?
