Goats are easy and great for preppers
Goats are great animals that are smart, fun and don’t need too much maintenance or a lot of area to feed. They are great animals for prepping and for company…

I live in the southwest. I’ve had some experience with horses getting
rattlesnake bit. Usually it’s in the nose as the horse is curious and gets
too close. The two worse things are the horse going into shock, or his head
and throat swelling so much he suffocates. Helping a vet once, we used a 1
inch hose as a breathing tube, some anti venom, and several hours work were
needed to save the horse. My Son-in-law was feeding cattle and got bit on
the leg by a rattler. He called his Doctor and was told to take some
Benadryl, put on some ice, and call him if he got worse. He recovered just
fine. A friend of mine was bit on the finger, went to the hospital, had an
allergic reaction to the anti-venom, and died. I guess you take your
chances, and do what you think is best.

Yes, I have lowest manicured field in the area, thank God they leave just
enough to hold the soil together, but we’ve had to begin giving them
alfalfa and sweet feed to compliment as they have eaten it all down. The
new property will allow us to let this rest and come back up, so we’ll be
switching fields beginning today. Thanks for the blessings brother, may be
Lord be with you also.

I have to agree i enjoy watching your videos. Just watch out goats will eat
the ground bare pretty fast and you can lose your good soil like that.
Anyway God be with you and keep on with the videos =)

Thanks for all your great videos. They are really helpful for so many of us
like-minded souls. By the way, You might be able to feed your goats for
free, or even get paid, by using them to remove high grass on overgrown
lots and property. I’ve seen some people start small businesses with them.

Yes, that is a great idea that we’ve considered but have not followed up on
due to logistics. Thanks for the comment!

Benadryl might help a little I supposed but a rattler bite and venom is so
much different and more potent that I don’t know how much that would help.
I don’t get rattlers where I live but if I go 100 miles south or west of
here, they are everywhere. Most small animals like dog or goats,etc that
get bit by one don’t survive the bite. We don’t have much land, we have
five acres and are joining another five for a total of 10 acres.

I suppose Benadryl would help a rattle snake bite too? I was just thinking
if I got bitten I’m at least an hour away from a doctor or hospital. You
are a man’s man Al. So how many acres do you have total now?
