I dream about the same thing.
Add a fish pond, grains, produce and garden crops.

They are herd animals and do better with other goats.

Do you always need two goats? Or is one milk goat sufficient for just getting started. Or do you have to have two so they don’t get lonely?

I am with you. I just might to get my dream to come true soon. My friend is going to help me with it. He is one hell of a friend. Granted he is going to make a profit but not much. He is more about helping me do this.Friends like this are hard to come by.

What a nice video! I’ve only kept goats for a few years but I would suggest your video if I had a friend looking for goats for the first time

Oh, by the way, one thing to look for is uneven udders. This can be an early sign of mastitis. With goats that nurse their kids, it can just be damage to the udders due to the kids or the kids are not nursing evenly or the doe is not being milked out completely on one side, but it better to be safe than sorry. If you look at the black doe in the video, she has an uneven udder. Way to go on your homestead, though. It looks great!

WRONG! We pull babies to prevent the possibility of CAE in our herd. I test ANUALLY for CAE. I vaccinate for TB anually as well as overeaters. (YES there is a vaccine). We bottle raise all of your babies from milk we milk from our does. Bottle fed kids are MUCH easier to handle and much less work in you herd than dam raised kids. DO NOT buy from some one who cannot not show you written test results. But, no, good dairies so not pull to avoid testing.

I too would love to have a couple baby Nigerian Dwarf milking goats and hope to within the next year. I noticed you too two little babies for milking. I can only assume you then bred them to start the milking process, did you keep the babies or sell them?
I’d LOVE to live that life style. Unfortunately, if I sold everything I have…I’d just have nothing 🙂 Certainly couldn’t afford to buy land, build house, and survive on just my desires. Hats off to you !!!

Everyday I dream of owning land in the country, maybe even off a dirt road. I want goats, chickens, the whole shabang.
