June and July are always exhausting (way beyond any other month of the year for me). Then August rolls around and things suddenly break.

(Click here for a 17min video on my breeding prep) Prep involves shoring up body condition and mineral deficiencies, in addition to making sure worms are under control. Again, check out this video for a deeper dive on breeding prep! I keep a handful of goats for personal use (dairy). This month I made them do yard-work for me. I was pretty impressed (and glad to retire the weed-eater for a few weeks)! πππ REMINDER: 2 MORE DAYS TO ORDER DURING BOOK BIRTHDAY WEEK!! πππ The following bonuses are included with every order (through midnight on 8/20):

Hey Friends! My monthly LIVESTREAM is TONIGHT (7pm CST)!! The theme is SHEEP vs. GOATS. Based on my own experience I am going to walk you through: Grazing differences between sheep and goats. Feed (forage) preferences between sheep and goats. Nutritional needs unique to both sheep and goats. Breed and product (eg. breeds for meat and breeds for milk) If you are in the "decision making" phase, tonight's livestream will help you determine whether sheep or goats (or maybe a few of each) will be...
