00:00 - Good morning everybody.

00:01 - My name is Lily Thomas, and I'm an exhibitor here at the fair.

00:05 - I'm also a part of my chapter's FFA club.

00:08 - And then you can find my dairy beef in the beef

00:12 - for my pigs in the pig born,

00:14 - and my goats and sheep all the way down in the red and white.

00:16 - Then I messed that up.

00:18 - I'm Brandon Thomas and I also a city fairs member,

00:21 - and I'm also a member of my school Santa Fe program.

00:24 - You can find this deer new in the beef farm, and my goats,

00:28 - Nellie and Neil in Colorado. Item.

00:31 - Hi, I'm Haley Hanson, and I'm also a board member of exhibits here at the fair.

00:35 - You can find my market heifer, Petunia in the beef for my lambs.

00:41 - Well done.

00:41 - Pilot in the barn right here with my goats.

00:44 - Sweet Pea and Cooper.

00:47 - Yeah.

00:48 - Hi. My name's Owen Hands.

00:49 - And I also have got a point

00:52 - where you can finally see honesty about, like, using a sheep.

00:55 - Okay.

01:00 - Now, let's learn a little bit about goats in general.

01:03 - Obviously, there are male and female goats.

01:06 - However, you want to hear farmers or other goat owners use those terms

01:10 - and send your the terms a buck, a doe, and or whether a buck is an intact male

01:15 - or whether is a castrated male and a doe is a female.

01:30 - Goats are herbivores.

01:32 - This means they feed on all different types of plants,

01:34 - including including shrubs, fleas, hay, fruit, and vegetables.

01:38 - We even put our Christmas tree in the pasture.

01:40 - The goats love them.

01:43 - To some teeth all across the bottom of the crown.

01:46 - But on the top, however, they only have teeth in the back portion

01:49 - of their mouth. Also

01:52 - note is why they're

01:53 - all trying to show you that you put on something cooperative.

01:59 - Each individual goat also has its own label.

02:02 - Typically sounds a little different from that of a tour mate.

02:05 - Usually, if one of us is yelling in the pasture, we can tell which one it is.

02:09 - Goats use their voice for a lot of the same reasons people do.

02:12 - They use it to communicate with other goats to call for their young,

02:15 - and they may also use it to signal danger

02:19 - when they also tend to really be loud when they get home,

02:22 - and they make sure they never miss a meal.

02:27 - Here with us today

02:28 - we use two different breeds of goats Ruffini goats, and we have four goats.

02:31 - Can anybody tell me which is which?

02:38 - Okay, so this one right here is the boar goat.

02:41 - And then those three are the feeding goats.

02:43 - This is just two breeds out of over 200 different breeds.

02:46 - So let's discuss some differences between these two.

02:50 - A Virgo is the largest breed of domesticated goats.

02:53 - Typically, they're the ones with a brown head and a white body.

02:56 - However, the coloring of summer what's called brown

03:00 - since this,

03:02 - you'll find plenty of photos here at the fair.

03:04 - And they were all very colorful.

03:07 - Thinking of them to be a little bit smaller,

03:09 - but could really have a range and coloring depending on the genetics of the goat.

03:13 - Both cautious and painting.

03:14 - Goats are meat goats sadly, and both bugs

03:17 - and those males and females are born in both streams.

03:21 - Now let's learn about 50 goats.

03:22 - So we're just going to tell you the names.

03:24 - So the one with the white tail right here, that's Jenny.

03:28 - And then the old brown one is from.

03:32 - This one over

03:33 - here that's running around in the, you know, crazy

03:36 - sweet.

03:38 - She doesn't normally get to run around a lot

03:40 - of other goats, and you go like this, you're stuck.

03:44 - These are green. Or go from here.

03:47 - And then over here is Clover.

03:50 - And wherever you have curly,

03:54 - baby goats can live anywhere between 12 to 15 years.

03:57 - Jenny and Fern, or about seven.

04:01 - Sweetie

04:02 - here is going on eight months old. Wow.

04:05 - These babies that are getting walked around are going on eight weeks old.

04:10 - And wherever Jack went, Jack's going on

04:13 - four years old.

04:19 - That character asleep.

04:20 - The next thing you know, he goes to call my tummy again.

04:23 - This is where the name Miles on it go.

04:25 - This is a hereditary condition that affects the skeletal muscle,

04:28 - which makes sense to follow their when they get super excited.

04:32 - If they were having the study session, I don't offer them all.

04:36 - You're the stuff that goes through someone or something and sits with them.

04:41 - Like I said, whether it's flashing

04:43 - lights or a loud noise or even just like a quick movement

04:48 - after they're after they're spooked.

04:50 - Every muscle in their body will tense up those hands up.

04:53 - Like, kind of when I get mad, I tense like this.

04:55 - So that's kind of like, what they do, but with every muscle in their body.

04:59 - And then since all the muscles in their body are tensed up,

05:02 - they flop over on the ground after their flocks over there lot.

05:06 - They're gonna lie there for five to 20s as stiff as a rock.

05:10 - Then they get up like nothing happens.

05:13 - Walking off.

05:14 - However, as if any good matures, they tend to get a hand on cleaning.

05:18 - And this is what I talked about earlier.

05:20 - But if they were to get smooth, they probably will faint,

05:23 - but they'll stiff enough and they'll walk in this weird stuff like and run.

05:29 - Myotonic congenital is a recessive gene, which means the goats

05:32 - need two copies of it to get the fainting, so only purebred fainting

05:36 - goats will get it, and not a crossbred like between or in a fainting goat.

05:40 - They won't get the fainting.

05:43 - Fainting goats actually have a high yielding carcass,

05:45 - which means they're great for me.

05:47 - So when they were first brought here, they read for me.

05:51 - Some other nicknames they have include Tennessee Feeding Goats

05:54 - because they have believed to be originated from Tennessee.

05:57 - Some of these goats are born.

05:59 - And I was like all the ones in the ranks, but others are not.

06:03 - This all depends on their genetics and whether the owner decides to

06:06 - hoard them or not.

06:07 - Some are born without horns.

06:09 - We call them pulled.

06:11 - Others are born with horns and their owner decides to be horn.

06:14 - And there's

06:15 - many different methods of the horn, but we can get into that another time.

06:19 - Thank you all for coming and hope you had an awesome time.

06:21 - And then something else.
