One of our Nigerian dwarf dairy goat crosses has been off the farm for a few months with her boyfriend at Sage and Stone Homestead and it’s time to go pick her up. Heather and Levi were kind enough to open their home to us for dinner and let us explore their beautiful garden before we brought our Juniper back to the homestead. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead Juniper is a Nigerian dwarf X meat goat who was the first goat bred and born on our homestead. We don’t like to keep farm animals as “pets” as we think everything needs a purpose but Juniper is a bit of a unique circumstance – she has a great temperament, her dam (mother) had easy kiddings, and her sire (father) brings those great Nigerian dwarf dairy goat traits that we LOVE, so Juniper will probably hang around the farm for a long time. It is part of the natural life cycle of a goat to be bred regularly and if this doesn’t happen a doe can actually develop health problems. It is for this reason we are choosing to breed Juniper. However her dad, Benji, is the only buck we have on the farm and because we do our best to practice responsible breeding in our herd we are sending her to our friends’ farm for breeding. Heather, Levi, and family at Sage and Stone Homestead took great care of our girl while she was away but we are glad to have her back. We are expecting babies later this year!

Turning reclaimed wood and free lumber into an incredible workbench. It’s stout, it’s heavy, and I didn’t pay a dime for any of the wood. Step by step process showing that beginner and inexperienced woodworkers can build the workbench of their dreams. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead I’m always on the lookout for lumber. Whether it’s pallets or if I take apart some building or structure my eyes are always open for wood. I’ve wanted a nice, sturdy workbench for years but I never wanted to sink the money into it (despite how much it would help me), but after I procured a stack of 2x8s from the office building I work in I decided it was time to bite the bullet and get this done. I ripped the 2x8s in half and ended up with twice as many 2x4s – after milling them with a jointer and planer I glued them together to form the top of my workbench. The legs were made from reclaimed 4x4s. I do not throw the term “reclaimed” around lightly – these 4x4s were once edging around a tree in our backyard and I literally dug them out of ground. They were very dirty so before running them through my expensive equipment I hit them with an aggressive wire brushing and then sanded them to clean them up and verify I hadn’t missed anything non-wood. Once the triple-checking was done I got them all milled down to the same width and depth. I went with simple mortise and tenon joinery to attach the legs to the benchtop and lap joints to attach the stretchers between the legs. A more sophisticated approach than this would be to use drawbore mortise and tenon where dowels are used to pull that joint tighter; I deemed this not necessary for my needs and time will tell if it’s the right decision. I love how this bench turned out and I’m already planning few functional improvements (a pipe clamp vise is priority #1) I’ll be making soon.

Homesteading can be a mixed bag – for every high there’s an equal low and the results of your endeavors are rarely exactly how you envisioned them. We aren’t gardeners, but that hasn’t stopped us from trying (AKA failing, learning, and trying again) and we might just have ourselves a breakthrough. Come along and do morning farm chores with our family. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead We enjoy homesteading but it’s not easy. That’s part of why we enjoy it – I find there’s a great value in working and making and doing so at the end of the day you can look back on your efforts and feel like you’ve made a difference. Learning about gardening, animal husbandry, or how to fix things when they break allows us to get outside of our comfort zone and grow. With that comes moments of failure but it is important to not get too down on yourself and push through that adversity. In this video we “fix” a spot where our goats have been getting out of the fence. Eventually we’ll properly repair that part of the pasture fence with new H-braces, fencing, and hanging that gate like it is supposed to be hung, but for the time we had today it was the best we could do. We also tour the garden which is doing MUCH better than it was even a few short weeks ago. I was pretty down on what we had done but we hadn’t given up just yet, and that tenacity (if I do say so myself) turned into a handful of okra, bell peppers, and ripening tomatoes. We even have a lone cucumber making an appearance. We aren’t gardeners and it has been a struggle but I’m thankful to see some fruits (veggies) of our labors. Much of the same can be said about our YouTube endeavors, so thanks for watching this video!

The Top 5 Things you need to know before you bring dairy goats home to your farm. We love dairy goats for several reasons but they are a lot of work. These tips will help you be better prepared for having a dairy animal on your homestead. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead There are many reasons why someone might choose to keep goats. On our farm they are dairy animals, but they can also be kept for meat, weed and brush control, or as little backyard companions. Dairy goats are like all other goats, only more so. Great care needs to be taken in their diet, daily milking is a necessity, and as with any animal there will inevitably be moments of heartbreak. We raise dairy goats because we enjoy goat milk and will one day make cheese, soaps and lotions, and maybe even butter. If you are interested in these things please subscribe to the channel.

Breeding season for our Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats has begun and here’s what we’re doing to set ourselves up for success this fall.

Buying half of a cow is a great way to insulate yourself against price hikes and foot shortages but if you’re new to buying bulk freezer beef the process can seem a little overwhelming. This is a simple and quick explanation about how much meat you could expect to get from half of a beef. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead 🐄 If you are in the Western Kentucky area and want to buy farm-fresh beef for your freezer please check out our friends at Futrell Farms in Cadiz, KY. The Futrells are great people who will treat you right. Tell them we sent you! ⭐️ https://www.facebook.com/futrellfarms ⭐️ https://www.instagram.com/futrellfarms/ Food costs keep going up and there’s no sign of a slowdown, and store shelves are often empty nowadays. Buying a whole or half beef for your freezer is a great way to hedge against today’s uncertainty so you and your family don’t have to worry. Plus, buying from your local farmer or rancher supports your local community and the product you receive is often vastly superior to what you can find in the grocery store. So if you want to buy a whole or half beef how much meat should you expect to get? For our family (2 adults, 2 young kids, and 1 infant) a half beef is about perfect for a year’s worth of food. We eat beef twice or more a week; the rest of the week is usually chicken, pork, and maybe some fish or venison. The live weight (AKA on-the-hoof weight) of the beef is how much that animal weighs when he steps off the trailer and goes in to the processing facility. The live weight of the animals does NOT directly translate into the amount of meat; a 1200lb steer does not yield 1200lbs of beef. Once the animal is dispatched and the hide, head, and internal organs have been removed we are left with a hanging weight (AKA carcass weight). Usually on beef cattle the hanging weight is approximately 55-60% of the live weight of the animal – it can be more or less for a variety of reasons but this is generally accurate. Please be aware that DAIRY CATTLE breeds like Holsteins do NOT grow muscle like beef cattle. Once the carcass has been butchered the amount of meat you yield is generally about 60% of the hanging weight. This again is an approximation (dry-aged beef weighs less because moisture has evaporated from the meat during that process, bone-in meat weighs more than boneless, etc.) but will get you close to that number. So for example, the beef steer in our freezer weighed about 1290lbs on the hoof. The hanging weight was 760lbs (59%), and we put about 225lbs of meat in our freezer (60% of half). According to the American Angus Association a carcass will typically yield 31% steaks, 31% roasts, and 38% ground beef and stew meat. On our beef we ended up with 98lbs (!) of ground beef; boneless ribeyes (12), filets (10), NY strip steak (12), and boneless ribeyes (6); brisket (1), chuck roast (5), arm roast (2), rump roast (2), round roast (2), round steak, and sirloin tip steak (6); other cuts include flank steak, inner and outer skirt steaks, stew meat (10), and soup bones (4). Our percentage of ground was likely a little higher than expected because we are trying a few less common cuts. These include chuck eye steak (cut from the center of the chuck primal), flat iron steak (2), tri tip roast (1), teres major (1), Korean style short ribs (maybe 6 packages, forgot to count them), and Osso Bucco (cross-cut foreshank, 12). To extract some of these cuts the primal must be broken down a little further, meaning more trimmings for ground beef are produced. Thank you for watching this video!
