RE: GOATA LOVE GOATS

in #homesteading6 years ago

oh my gosh @buckaroo this is a beautiful post with those fun goats and the wonderful scenery, just super nice thank you!
So you guys have the goats for mostly milk, cheese and to keep the property or weeds maintained? and of course as pets I guess, I had no idea that goats could be so affectionate like a dog or something.

Sort:  

Goats are AMAZING. My husband told me that if I continued to grow my "pet" goat family then I better make them work for their keep!! And my Goshna goat business was born. Most of my customers are babies whose moms can't breastfeed. We don't really keep the goats for weeds as our semi-desert countryside has more rocks than anything else! Any green you see is either hardy thorn trees or a lot of hard work

how interesting! so you are able to turn this passion into a business? if it's a business the business model isn't clear to me.
semi-arid desert, you guys have a water well?

Family run business. Although I was forced to sell most of my about 60 goats. I only have my 6 pregnant girls now. Which is enough for home use and then to keep my natural skin care business functioning. Yes a bore hole although with the drought it's starting to suck air

oh ok you have a natural skin care business with products made from goat milk? so ya'll are totally entrepreneurs then, love it!

but what does this sentence mean sorry I don't understand it:
"Yes a bore hole although with the drought it's starting to suck air"
thanks @buckaroo!

Bore hole is what we call the deep water wells which a massive drill bores. Ours is over 100m deep. But we still have a water crisis because we've had a drought here for nearly 4 years now

oh I see. so even though you have a deep well the water table is getting lower?
are you guys praying for rain? I guess that sounds funny but I'm not trying to be, it's too serious.

Sometimes the entire country hold prayer meetings. But as I mentioned to you before we have become a pagan country practicing all manner of wickedness. The Almighty calls us to repent first and then He will send the rain. There are very few repenting. Just demanding rain. People continue in their rebellion, shake their fists at Heaven and make demands but they don't read the Word.

I remember what you said about the nation but I was talking
about you guys on your property. I've seen God bless those
with faith with rain on one side of the road and none for those
on the other side because of their faith.

In other words, your personal blessings are not blocked by your country's wickedness, you are not part of the curse which they bring on themselves of course.

Quite often my wife and I deal with rain here in TX so i was
just wondering. God bless you guys!
