- We used some scraps and items around the homestead to build a few projects for the goats. In this video, we build a hay feeder, a milking stand, goat toys, and make some improvements to the building that the goats live in.
Thank you for supporting our channel!

i was brought up on goats milk, my folks used to just milk then into a wide tupperware, and strain it later in the house through linen to get bits out. a wipe of a wet cloth was all the teats got, never an issue. on a side note, when my cousin tracy was born, she could not take mothers, cows milk, or formula. in the 1960.s she was basically going to die of starvation. mum, against doctors advice, took her some goats milk, she drank, and went to sleep for first time in 4 weeks from birth. we had a lodger who went to work on the bus, he took 1 1/2 pints in a tupperware, and every day the bus made an unscheduled stop so he could hand it out the window to my aunt in the next town to feed tracy, saved tracy's life.
Doesn't the milk taste like pine needles if fed pine trees?
I absolutely love the way you guys care for your animals. This was an awesome video guys can’t wait to see more.
Hello folks, I find it very reassuring to learn that that big, bearded and often armed man is actually very sweet and gentle. :) Love you!
We are so impressed with the setup you did for the goats. It’s so awesome when people put in the time to raise their animals with care. Excellent Job!
Great job building the goat milking stand
Thank you!
the end is so fun to watch with them running around playing with each other on the new toys, almost like a ball of twine for a cat ... keep up the good work
Love this channel and SImple Living Alaska - others have nothing on you! What a treat!
man watch out vermeer wood chippers we got the goat squad to take care of our brush freakin luv it !!!! hands down goats are badass. thank you for the video always enjoy them
I just love your dog. We had a Shepherd/Lab mix and he always had a stick in his mouth. Or ball. He would also go find the biggest stick he could so you could play fetch. Lol. I miss him ❤
Great video of what you have done for the goats, goats light to climb and high places. Waiting on next video !!! Remember more videos more subscribers!!!!
Thanks for another very entertaining video. The goats will enjoy all the love you show them and maybe you will get lots of milk that taste good...
Great job building the feeder for the goats
Thank you!
You and your goats are a hoot, they add alot of fun to your channel, thoroughly enjoyed watching ya'all do stuff around your land🐐🐕🐶
You can also make some extra play equipment from old tires half buried at different heights (when the ground thaws) they love to jump from one to the other. Great job. Nice to see you care.
Loved the “toenail” comment! Another channel I watch (Home Sweet Alaska) have a couple of ewes that they milk. She places a piece of cheesecloth across the rim the of her container to keep debris out and strain the milk. If there are babies, she will milk the mamas first, being sure to leave enough for the babies. If they are still hungry (very seldom) they’re always around mom for a snack.
Hi You both are doing such an amazing job! Watching the goats is like watching a bunch of pre-schoolers! 😂 They are so funny. Thank you for taking us on this adventure!
love hubbys red power tools they are the best also the black goat he makes me laugh😅😅😅😅🐐🐐🐐🐐
What an enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing the goat antics.
Hi from 🇨🇦.Congrats on being great animal owners the goats are well taken care off.
Always enjoy seeing y’all’s videos. I watch a couple of people from Alaska. You are doing great things on your journey. Keep it up.
I love your goats, especially Paul Bart! He is so handsome. 💜
You did well at trimming their hoofs. Rocky ground helps to keep them trimmed. Good job,all the best
Excellent video. Great job on everything you guys did on this area for the goats and a place to store the hat. Really like the watering
The goats are so cute playing on their new outdoor playground.
I like the thought and effort you put into all of your projects. Great work guys and all the best. Love your vlogs. 😂
Cabin first, then goats! Chickens ok. Good fresh eggs, but goats will require a lot of work. Good luck with your decision.
You guys are so squared away! I have zero interest in anything goat, but watching you two operate is awesome.
I love your new goat station. I always enjoy your projects. Keep up the great videos. Thanks, and have a goat day!
black goat big boss ^^ so nice looking
He is a cool goat 🙂
Hi ❤love how you build the milk stand for your goats and make fun things for them well done you both love 🥰 your animals 🐐🐐🦮🐕🦺👩🌾👨🌾🌹🌼🌸🌺
В детстве, когда я жил с бабушкой, она тоже держала коз. Я хорошо запомнил её слова: "У молока практически нет запаха, если молоко воняет - это воняет не коза, а неряшливая хозяйка-грязнуля."
Однажды я по незнанию принес воду из колодца в ведре для молока. Бабушка была очень рассержена, а я не понимал почему? Ведь это была всего лишь чистая колодезная вода... Она сказала, для воды есть свои ведра, а это - для молока. И не делай так больше. Строгая была😊
Great content...your so kind to your animals ...your good people..watching from ireland its lovely to see animals been looked after so well
Great video
Thank you!
Отличная игровая площадка получилась! Классное видео! Мне очень понравилось! Круто Круто!!!👍❤️
Their breed, diet, hygeine/health, and stress factors determine taste. But, you do need to clean those utters with utter cleanser, use more than just warm water. You can get deathly ill from a number of bacterial, fungal and, viral diseases if not washed wirh both a utter cleanser and warm water both, properly. And regardless of what some tell you, they do still require bathing with a good all natural goat bath soap every other month, as needed, and their teeth cleaned too. Stainless is best for a milk bucket, or can. Looks good! Best wishes!
Oh ! elles sont trop mignonnes ces chèvres ❤ , c'est rigolo 🤣🤣🤣
aw i see more building supplys nice so we will see some building video again very nice
Really productive video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
I saw a show were they cut various sizes of tree stumps for them to climb on ,they seem to love that .Can't wait for better weather so you can get back on the cabin.
Great temp updates, can't wsit to see the barn and chicken coop you two build. The goats really enjoy their big yard
A coffee filter would be perfect to use as a strainer for any thing that might have ended up in the goats milk
They are so curious, a lot like chickens.
I loved watching you build things for your cute goats. They are adorable. Loved this video. Now on to building the cabin.
Learned things about goats I didn't know. Interesting 😊❤. I tried goats 🐐 milk when I was younger and I didn't like it very much..but I wasn't used to it .
Awesome upgrades to the Goat setup, even with a playground. Suggest you put some pavers where Katie will be standing to keep her out of the mud. I know you plan to address it, but still concerned about that large hole in the Goat shelter from a predator protection perspective. You guys make an awesome team and the results of your collaborative work are superb!
Goats milk make great milkshakes, and they are sweeter. I love it...
egg junket in times of excess production, and of course goat cheese 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
Aww, your goats seem very sweet! You'd never know they've never used a stanchion. They sure love their new playground! Their temporary home looks wonderful! Great video!
I have had goats for over 20 years. the milk is awesome. If you get a Goatee taste feed them some garlic. believe it or not it sweetens the milk. I have kept my bucks next to my does because they are herd animals and the bucks get lonely too. It is also for protection. when the buck is kept so far away from the does he is vulnerable to bears. Way to go you guys are doing great. Love the channel. I have some waterer for winter we no longer have goats. I also have some other goat stuff if you are interested for free. I could meet you on our way to Homer. We go there to visit friends and family.
Chris, what a lucky, lucky man !
Good job! Goats are so cute.
Goats love to climb. Build some platforms for them. There’re like cats that way. 😁
I have watched my mother-in-law milk her goats before. She use a mason jar and puts a cheese cloth over the container and uses a string to tie it on . Just in case of hair , dirt or anything less that my fell in .
So enjoyed this video!! Keep up the good work--❤️❤️❤️
Great video guys. Your goats are a crack up
Great job! Moving closer to being in the house!
Great video. I love how they talk to you. lol
They are a hoot to watch. You are both good with them.
I really love this video I like them goats I hope they really do good I hope your husband's hand is okay y'all be safe out there doll
Great goat toy, old tyres half buried, they love climbing on them
Goats milk is good for people with skin issues l was bottle fed this when l was a baby 👶 for my eczema and asthma x
If I may suggest, the lock on your head chute? Maybe if you found one that locked with a sliding spring lock, it might work better for you. 😊
Cats: If I fits I sits
Goats: If I cans I stands.
It is what it is. LOL
ya look like your get ready for goat milking nice job guys
Fun video.Hi from Colorado Springs 😀
Thank you!
Great video‼️
Good vid
Oh I love what ya'll are doing for the goats. It's wonderful. They are a pack of sweet goats, too.
@ 31:40 cherish that thermometer stores don't give then away like they did in the past
I wonder if you could mount a very strong magnet to help keep the milking pail from tipping over.
The goats are cute and very playful like watching the videos
Love the goat attention! They do have personalities~!
Great video. Thank you for sharing. The goats are so cute. Good luck✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️
ya goat love tree branches and it good food for them and a goat pen it a big up keep for one they trash things out lol its like have 3 years olds around lol
narrrr just nail some wood block on her boots lol. goat are so cool and funny stay safe guy love you's later
I'm what you might call a "milk Nazi". I get store bought cows milk and I can get the same brand from different stores and you can taste the difference. It just means it is coming from different dairys and the cows may be on different feeds that way. My wife and daughter do not notice the difference but I sure do, so much so that I don't buy the milk at some stores so I understand what you are saying about different flavors.
I smile when you are talking about hard frozen ground because where we live in a part of Arizona that has caliche that is so hard it wears shovels out very quickly and it is year round.
Be sure to have a little fun every day,
jack
New to your channel. Been watching a couple of months. I like how you keep talking, it is more interesting than just silence. Did you cut your finger. My dad had a couple of fingers missing or cut short. He never spoke of it. Must of happened early in life. Take care that all heals, and be sure to duck when necessary. I’m from Michigan
Loved this video 🫶
The only smart guy on UA-cam that knows how to use a table saw
I just put a piece of wire around the bottom of that rotten post where they couldn’t chew on it Tiny Houston MS ( Len Price )
Love the goats!
What a great video
Stay safe
so what did you do to you finger its so wrapped up so nicely i have watch you the first time you arrived to the land you work so well as a team i know you are putting a porch on will it be a wrap around or only in the front garden time is arriving quicikly are you doing any changes to your planting this year i so enjoy watching both of you working as a team thank you
what ever the cow or goat eats affects the milk, don't let you cow loose in the garlic patch, definitely check out Lumnah Acres UA-cam channel Gina had a battery powered milker that she used on the goats so the milk went straight in to jar as milking so no chance of contamination
You could install a water heater to keep goat water from freezing. That is if you have a power source. We sell them at the farm I manage.
Hinge a price of plywood above the hay feeder so it closes at an angle over the hay it will keep the goats on the ground
Make goat cheese many blessings
❤❤❤
Looks like you dont have any porcelain screws left. The brass ones are not good with treated lumber. Although it is not a big deal for a milk platform.😮
i hope that someday you can make chesses !!
You need to put a feeder for treats for the goats to keep them content and easier to milk and clean and trim their hooves.
You guys are so cute with those goats. Give thanks always. God is so so Good
@ 8:02 checkout some old videos of "Lumnah Acres" UA-cam channel and you will get a lot of goat milking ideas and hints / Gina showed milking every morning in most of their episodes for at least 6 months

Goat's milk is a great substitute for breastmilk and baby formula if the mom can't breastfeed. Raised our babies on it and they still love it in their teens.
✅💯💯💯
Yhea. a little hard to milk the the buck.😅
my friend in the \\\philippines has goats and breeds them also milks them to hear is his channel they have lots of information might help you guys
(an aussie farming in the philippines ) his channel also his wife has a channel to decated to goat farming her name is Chic good idea to tie the back leg up stop them kicking you
How is your finger doing? Not sure what happened but I hope it is not too painful and it heals fast.
Hello I am new on your channel I also watch another UA-cam channel called flat tire farm there in willow Alaska they are a part of my family on UA-cam
Curious, How much work are the goats, on a weekly basis in terms of hours?
The initial setup was honestly the most time-consuming. Which took us about 2 days with the ground being frozen. With 1 in milk, it takes us about 15 minutes to clean and milk her once a day, but she was starting to dry up when we got her. So, when all 4 are in milk that would be about an hour give or take, twice a day, depending on their production. Katie likes to give them a brushing as well, which only takes a few minutes per goat. Right now it's only about a 20 minute task per day with 1 in milk and feeding.
There are some little things here and there that we like to work on, such as hoof trimming, etc. But that's a once a month task that takes about 15 minutes per goat. 😀
@@northtoalaska2022 Haha fair enough. Thinking about Mongolia, sheep are more common. You wouldn't be milking them necessarily though. Grazing sheep in the steppe is common there, but I want to be in a forested area.
