FARMING FUN...HOW DOES THE JOHN DEERE GATOR 825I DO IN THE SNOW??

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The farmer checks on his goats, ensuring they have access to both food and unfrozen water. He explains that goats can eat snow for hydration, but also confirms that he has provided ample hay and that the water buckets are still liquid. He demonstrates feeding the goats by scooping feed from a 'Brute' container and pouring it onto the hay. This ensures the goats are well-fed and hydrated during the cold weather.

Tools and materials

  • Brute Container Brute — Storing and dispensing goat feed
  • Scoop — Measuring and distributing goat feed
  • Goat Feed — Providing nutrition to the goats
  • Hay Bales — Providing food and dry bedding for the goats

no just kind of pulled it in so guys the biggest concern when it snows like this is do the goats have water well they can eat the snow for water it's not a big deal also the second biggest concern is food now they've got plenty of hay in here the hay is nice and dry underneath there so there's plenty for them to eat no biggie we also want to think about bedding now I've already put bales of straw inside their little bedding areas over here so they're good to go there so let's throw them a scoop of food and watch them go at it [Music] we'll probably just pour the food out on the ground today feeding time here is always a joyous time a time of sharing a time too but your friends so the next thing we got to worry about or think about is water okay so is the wire bucket frozen nope it's not supposed to get too awfully cold today so they'll have plenty of water now tonight it's supposed to get down to 22 maybe that's when we'll have the baby goat I don't know the goat seemed to have an internal barometer and they know when the coldest crappiest day is to have a baby and that's when they'll have it they might be wondering what's my job when the goat starts to have babies well pretty much my job is just to make sure
