Homesteady - Stories of Living off the Land
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
Are you ready to hear the saddest statistic we may have ever shared here at Homesteady?
90% of goat owners report having a goat die, for a reason other than old age.
That means most of us who own goats are going to experience some really heartbreaking death at some point in our goat journey.
The sad truth is, although they're super cute, they can be really hard to keep alive.
That's why we talked to Deborah Neiman, the author of Raising Goats Naturally and Goats Giving Birth all about these major problems facing goat owners and how we can overcome them.
So let's tackle these three major obstacles with Deborah... she shares some expert advice on how to keep our goats happy and healthy!
Recently we went to the Homesteady Community to learn a little bit more about what were the biggest challenges facing the goat owners in our community.
We found four ways that most people's goats were dying... one of them was labor and delivery and we're going to cover that in a different episode all about just kidding, pregnancy and delivery. The other big three ways goats were dying we're going to discuss here, and we're going to start with number three and work our way to the number one way that goats unfortunately are dying.
