I use a 5/8 rubber air hose. I bought a roll about 5 years ago and I’m using it it can stand being run over by a car or truck. It’s not the cheap but we’ll worth the investment.

We have raised Nubian goats for 13 years now. We do not feed sweat feed to are goats. We use regular goat feed. We found out that sweat feed makes them too hipper and more aggressive toward each other. Your coop should have a plane goat feed.

We live on 27 arces. We started out with Nubian goats. They are a bigger goat. They are a dual goat both used for meat and milk. The milk is a little richer than cows milk. We now have both goats and cattle. We have jersey and Dexters. Both the Nubian goats and the Jersey,Dexter cows are A1A1 milk whitch is better then A2A2.

When you plant them plant at least 1 more row that way you can save your seed. We just rotate them in between our 2 gardens. We have had the same taters for at least 5 years now and still doing great.

If you buy them by the bundle It is much cheaper. It usually is around a 1 a tree and up depends on what you get. They have a great selection of fruit tree and hard wood.

They make an all stock feed. That way if you have cattle or any other livestock. You can feed that out to them. The only time we feed sweat feed is when our nanny’s are kidding.
