RE: Lesson Learned - Homestead LIVESTOCK Mistake CORRECTED!
@bowentroyer I should add that we have had great success raising sheep here in Kentucky, which is why that has been our main focus. We feel confident in raising goats now too, but that was one heck of a learning curve!
Goats have been a big learning curve. We have tried Boer Spanish and Kiko. Our herd now is all Kiko. It has taken us about 8 years but we now have a kiko goat that we can leave out with our cattle year round. We only worn them once a year when we get them all up to wean the kids. We currently have about 100 does. We sell our doeling in August/September. We have not tried sheep yet we have heard that they cannot eat the same mineral as our cattle due to copper in it. Thanks for finding me on hear. I love talking goats and sheep. Have a great day
