The Perfect Tethering System For Your Goat
Вставка

- This vlog will show you the way that we tether our goat. It is pretty simple, not very expensive and should last for years. She has yet to get away so I would venture to say that it is pretty escape proof. This would be great for other animals as well like sheep, horses, dogs... to name a few.
The Dirtpatcheaven vlogs that I referenced are at the following links.

If you have another way that you like to train or tether your goats or other animals, let me know in the comments. I'd love to see how other folks do it.
Thanks for supporting my channel with your LIKES, COMMENTS & SUBSCRIPTIONS. I love you guys! Have a great day!

Great video
This keeps the goat inside a large circle
You can also tie a wire or rope between two anchors and tether the goat to the wire/rope. This will keep the goat in a large rectangle.
Happy homesteading
How do you size the collars? Like where do measure and where should the collar sit on the neck so that it is loose enough yet still secure so that it won't slip off?
Is this in california? It looks similar to the rural area we are in escrow now on here in southern california ....every thiing on the undeveloped part of our 4+ acres right now is SO dry and overgrown ....fire hazard! because nothing is eating it! We NEED goats because a lot of it is it is steep hillside ...but how many square feet of property can a goat clear per day? Also I am thinking of an overhead tether system with a long cable point to point several feet in the air with a ring and short tether to the goat so it can travel the whole length of the cable without getting tangled....I know I will need either a bunch of tether poles or to keep pulling and re sinking them..but I love that idea so the goat does not get tangled....also I MIGHT use it on one of my dogs if she tries to wander too much...I lived on a property for a short time a long time ago and my dogs did not attack the goat so I am assuming that as long as I don't get a baby goat the dogs should be allright? Plus they will be PROTECTION against predators like mountain lions and coyotes which surely abound in the area....
+Doug Chaney If you use an overhead tethering system I would cement the posts in the ground because the goat will more than likely rub up against it and knock it over. Tethering is a great way to graze each area down and then move them as needed. I would be careful with dogs though. Even though the dog may not hurt the goat (I would definitely choose a trained herding breed) a goat sees dogs as predictors. A mule or a lama may be a better choice for protection. As far as how much they will clear at a time, that really depends on if they will eat what you have growing and their age. Make sure you know what is on your property so that there isn't anything poisonous.
You did a very good job covering this video other than what is connected to the goat it would be nice to know more about what color that you use
У нас тоже есть такие колья для коз
New to your channel. Researching on tethering goats
This has worked very well for me. Just make sure that there is nothing that they can get wrapped around and make sure they can reach water and shelter as needed.
Where did you buy those tethers/extenders?
Where can I buy a spring cable with the double ended swivel like the one in your video? Love your work btw xo
I purchased mine from Kmart when they closed our store, but have seen them at Walmart. The longer lengths have springs. Thank you for watching!
It would be really great if you could tell us: first: what collar you used and second: what brand you bought of the dog tether?
+Joyce Hackett It has been a while since I did that video so I don't remember but I will try to get that info for you.
Can you put Alpine buck goats on a tether..?? what kind of color do you use and how big does it have to be on their neck?
How do you offer water? Im wanting some land of my own and thinking about using a goat or 2 to help clear it.

Provide a bucket and if they knock it over, stack tires around the bucket. Helps keep the dingleberries out of the water
Nothing worse than having to constantly un-tangling goats. I've used those cork screw type( for dogs) with success too.
The ground is so rocky and hard here that it is nearly impossible to get the spiral stakes in the ground. :(
Do they get shade?
Yes. We have a portable shelter.
About how much time a day would you think a goat needs to get access to grass? I'm thinking about getting two/three goats but to begin with I might put them in a large dog kennel and then tether them once in the morning and once in the evening.
A goat would not do well in a kennel unless it is a good size. They also need access to feed all day. You could always bring the hay to them if you can’t let them graze but they need a decent size pen. Logan’s area was about 8’x20’. That was just for him. Of course the size and breed of goat would come into play too.
They need to eat 24/7 or they'll cry because they need a full rumen composting inside to stay warm enough. They don't make good mowers because they reach up above the parasites for food, so they need broadleaf shrubbery or hay. They love roses and will happily eat toxics like stone fruits, rhododendrons, holly, ferns...buy a goat care book
What is the likely hood of an accident?

Huge, almost guaranteed
Not true.

Don't tether goats, period. Dogs or coyotes could come along and tear them apart (I lost six in one day). They can tangle in brush or with each other (my new buck strangled and died.) My neighbor's doe knocked over a beehive with her chain, and I'll never forget the screaming (she died all swollen). Electric fencing is cheap enough. Are you srsly not willing to do right by the animals depending on you? If you haven't got the money, then board your goats with friends or lease them out until you're ready for them
Sorry for your loss. Sounds like you’ve had some trouble. Tethering Goats can be perfectly safe. It is one of many options. Being a responsible steward of your animals is always the primary objective.

Yes I was so irresponsible. I ran to town for two hours and the dogs killed my six in that time. I had my buck right under my kitchen window and saw him laying down in the shade of the brush, didn't see that he had died. I was such a horrible goatkeeper, I guess I hated them when I thought I cherished my beautiful goats. I will march straight to hell. We disagree.
I was not trying to insinuate that you were irresponsible in any way. There are just many options for containing your livestock. This is just one. Each homestead will have a different way of doing things. What may work for one might not work for another. Blanket solutions don't exist.
