100 | Management Flexibility: Why Helping Too Much Hurts Your Livestock

from Goat Wise | Meat Goats, Feeding Goats, Goat Fencing, Livestock Management · host Millie Bradshaw - Animal Scientist, Rancher, Homesteader

One storm after another, and we're managing through it. Today I'm sharing what we did last week when our night trap pens had no dry ground left anywhere for the goats to lie down — what we did, the thinking behind every decision, and just as importantly, what we didn't do. Plus: why over-intervening in tough weather conditions can actually work against your animals' long-term resilience.   Mention: 31 | Are Winter Heat Lamps Bad for Chickens?
