68 | New to Raising Livestock? Risk Management Strategies When the Learning Curve is Steep

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

Hi friends!  Last week we talked about all the reasons to start with terminal livestock if you’re a beginner or just getting started raising farm animals.  Today I’m going to dive into that a little deeper and talk about why you should start with smaller livestock like sheep and goats instead of cattle.  We’re going to talk about meat and dairy and risk management, especially through those beginner phases where lots of mistakes and learning happen.  Let’s get to it!   Related Episodes:   67 | Why Beginners Should Start with Terminal Livestock First   06 | What Livestock Should I Get First?
