Eric is a hoot, could listen to him all day, he just has that drawl chatter.

[@rawrxheather]

One of the things I miss about being in the south!! Lol

[@screamsformemes]

baaa. baaaa. baaaa.

[@jiggiewig]

so real !!! i love me some old people that chatter endlessly but also insight--fully with that southern twang.

[@LetTheWrite1inn]

A true king

[@GabbyRN545]

Baby goat with the injured foot probably hadn’t been nursing. Poor thing. Eric is amazing and I hope he gets better soon. His farm is awesome and Maya proves yet again how compassionate she is by helping him out. Maya is a good human!

[@Atra_Atrox]

no wonder maya has been doing as much as she can to help eric, he seems so sweet and unfortunately he is like most farmers and neglect themselves while having excellent animal welfare

[@pleasedyes]

Yeah I saw a few chatters put off because things don’t look as glamorous as Alveus, but it really seems like a well ran operation! (And hopefully people realize that his dog breeding is different than other breeding)

[@echobobeco3]

Eric going “baaah” makes me so happy

[@IamYuto]

He speaks the sacred language.

[@steveknows_420]

Neighbor Eric rocks!

[@poshrat993]

New comfort stream unlocked. Dogs… goats… who could ask for more

[@Sarah-de6lw]

I absolutely adore Erik, what a sweet sweet old man. He reminds me of my grandpa who’s also a farmer, makes me so happy seeing maya help out someone like this. Thank you always maya, what you do is so so incredible.

[@Stolens87]

Maya has an incredible amount of work with the wolves and an many collabs and an art auction... Also Maya: Of course I help my neighbor with goats! She is such an incredible human...

[@yuvgotmel]

This is exactly what I was thinking. She has so many other things she needs to be doing but she is so kind and selfless.

[@IamYuto]

I don't mean to undermine Maya's incredible work and effort, but I think it's important to point out that when you find something you're truly passionate about, the concept of "work" can take on a different meaning. I'm sure she falls asleep in an instant at night because she's so exhausted, but at the same time, I know she absolutely loves what she's doing. In these moments, you can tap into an extra source of power and energy. She's an amazing individual, and I'm happy for her to be able to focus on something she truly loves. It's sometimes we should all strive for.

[@loo.lizzie]

i love neighbour eric 😭😭 what a wholesome stream

[@poshrat993]

Eric is awesome. So interesting to hear about breeding dogs because most people assume it’s inherently bad including myself in the past. I had no idea livestock guardian dogs could play a role in conservation!

[@watchtower6494]

If Eric is free sometime Maya should ask him do an interview and all he has learned over the years. That would be super interesting but only if he is okay with it.

[@siarha70]

i love how he’s teaching maya everything he’s doing with the goats

[@Emma-Maze]

well it makes sense since she's helping him with a lot of stuff when he has health issues

[@epohmp4]

Was awesome listening to Eric!

[@danielle7663]

It was so nice to meet neighbor Eric!

[@screamsformemes]

"They arent afraid of me. baaaa. baaaaa. baaaaa." Eric is my new favorite human. Hope his bod feels better soon! also Chabook is going to use Maya as a chair in 3....2....1... stage one of trying to use Maya as a chair 12:31 13:23 stage 2 15:03 stage 3 chair complete. Maya wins annual "best human chair" award 15:46 *makes eye contact* "alright im gunna get up now" 15:58 OH GOD STAGE 4 MAYA BECOME BED 16:23 Chabook says NOOO I'M NOT DONE CUDDLING 1:26:44 STEP ONE ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR DOG INTO A MACHINE GUN 1:26:54 STEP 2

[@wamatt2476]

so crazy that goats can be like, only a few days old, and up and walking around perfectly.

[@Cyrribrae]

Right out of the womb! Precocial

[@junerose7868]

for real!! sheep too!

[@HoneyChonker]

Fun fact, Humans "should" be able to do this too, but they are born "early" after 9 months because of the size of the human birth canal being too small for our brains. If the birth canal was wider we'd have much longer gestation periods similar to other mammals like Whales, or perhaps even longer

[@shaliekk]

*Llama has seeds in her fur* Maya: "She's a seed disperser."

[@marlousv]

Erics animals are cared for better than 80% of pets. The care he takes, to make sure they eat, sitting next to them. He knows them so well. How particular he is with how they are cared for speaks volumes. Amazing stream! Pls come back to show us the pups!

[@tragedyshero72]

Eric seems great! I hope he takes it easy as best he can and rests those knees up.

[@yigi1148]

1:29:15 that's so impressive. How well this dogs are trained

[@stul8724]

Thanks Maya, for sharing this slice of your life. You are so kind. 😊

[@MarmaladeToads]

Her neighbour was just sitting there like an npc waiting to be talked to 😭

[@xpiinaypiie9293]

He really was 😂😭 Just waiting there for Maya to complete the first part of the side quest. 🐐

[@aprilswain2142]

😢​9@@xpiinaypiie9293

[@Snakedoc7170]

I’m 30 minutes in and this is the greatest stream ever, Eric is amazing!

[@Stolens87]

Oh my god, listening to Erics stories is amazing! Can you please let him know that we really appreciate him having the microphone and telling his stories? I assume, I was not the only who loved this. Thank you very much for this video

[@johnsharplin]

What a nice lovely man! And the goats are rad too!

[@estousemcriatividadepraumnome]

I love everything about this video, what a treat

[@dogsrlcatsdl4524]

.....BABY DOATS!!!!!.... Baby doats ❤❤❤.... the other day someone commented that I was weird for talking into my writing patterns into a pre-made video.... well, how many dingleberries do you see yelling at their TV's during an NFL game???.... I have very little patience for smartass 10 year olds on a live chat so... this is better.

[@screamsformemes]

DOAT CITY!!!!!

[@dogsrlcatsdl4524]

@@screamsformemes ...is that in Minnesota?

[@kitrodriguez992]

How the doggo put the other doggo in place when the goat chase happened was actually really impressive. Dogs are so smart man. Just one bark and bro sat and said sorry 😂

[@Nov1cegg]

I've been watching Maya for a while. I could live in this stream, the best yet!

[@mollycook1847]

Now I'm interested in the inheritance patterns of coat colors for goats. Is brown dominant?

[@mollycook1847]

Edit for anyone who's interested: I did look it up and the answer is it's very complicated! Color in goats is not sex-linked like cats, but there are multiple loci that affect each other epistatically. The black is sometimes true black, and sometimes is dark brown that can get lighter with age.

[@mollycook1847]

Patterns are formed a lot of ways, but "moon spots" are very common on Nubians and tend to fade from dark to light with age like Eric said at 22:54. I couldn't find anything about their inheritance other than they seemed to be dominant.

[@elora512]

​@@mollycook1847nice, thanks for the info

[@caprisun2830]

Absolutely enjoyed this stream! Thank you Maya and Eric!

[@dogsrlcatsdl4524]

..... that llama call reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite..." Tina.. come get the food... come get the FOOD!!!"

[@Mike_Wazowski_z]

she needs to make a Baah emote lol

[@rubens181]

This content is just amazing and so relaxing. Great stream. Maya's the best!

[@iseetheWAYVision]

i know how hard it is to sit down and let others help out w my babies.... im so happy he has you as a neighbour

[@shiveringlots]

Loved meeting Eric! Great stream.

[@maiyorha]

i think it's very important to see how some female goats abandon their newborns and to acknowledge that this is part of the livestock industry too. the goats are made to be bred, it's not their choice whether they breed or don't breed. eric seems like a very nice guy trying his best to not just give up on a baby bc it was left behind, but yeah it's not as uncommon of a thing, and not every farmer would do that! :)

[@shaliekk]

39:23 this derp 1:26:57 ❤ 2:25:11 So cute 2:35:10 HER EARS

[@harvDentedftw]

Eric is great you can tell he really loves animals

[@mckennabowerss]

I didn’t think a goose hissing would give me such a visceral response 😂

[@zozleixaxaxgxt571]

did eric visit alveussanctuary ? or dose he want to visit? eric is a nice dude

[@AmbiHDMI]

Omg I would love a stream with Eric and showing him around 💗

[@Nov1cegg]

YEEEAAAAH, ERIC VISITING WOULD BE AWESOME

[@rhino1876]

Omg yes.

[@steveknows_420]

3:09:40

[@frickusernames]

This makes me feel so at home. Being on a farm fully focused on the animals is one of the best things ever.

[@rebbyy95]

aww Eric reminds me of my grandpa..

[@BLove0]

Good video Shrez 👍15:45

[@connor6324]

This was so insanely wholesome

[@wingelchen]

that was a great stream

[@lilabarrows6107]

He sounds like Dale from King of the Hill and I ❤ him. UwU

[@HoneyChonker]

We need more Eric. baaaaa baaaaaa baaaaa

[@kathmorgan3429]

I wish I had a sweet baby goat under each arm

[@AneMonsteret]

Mama geese tryna act all tough with the hissing lmao

[@pilotben97]

22:44 Run peepo run

[@rachell9430]

eric should have merch, the baa-ing was so cute😭😭😭

[@surfingthedarkness]

We'd all be SO into a fund raising for Eric medical treatments streams with Baaa! merch

[@Might_b_iz]

Love Eric’s stories ❤ hope he gets better soon. Should we start a go fund me? 👀

[@bbaaii4771]

Eric is such a legend

[@mosieposie2591]

Best stream ever

[@desmondhume]

[@cinerea1250]

One of the best stream!

[@morphman86]

[@kanonshun]

LLAMA!

[@iseetheWAYVision]

ive loved this stream so much

[@ryanrowe1975]

So nice

[@sadiedasi3]

nice video shrez

[@pavelchromcak7384]

When the lama kissed Maya, someone in chat said " Nick Polom in lama form " I spilled my tea all around my floor xD

[@honestoutlaw8877]

Always liked maya but the fact that she goes out of her way to help her neighbor says a lot about her.

[@emkenobi]

I am officially an Eric fan

[@oskiehollow]

Baaaaah

[@Ghandii]

good video mr shrez

[@iseetheWAYVision]

that oldie was eating like a grandma lmao

[@jubes___]

I love this stream ❤ the goats are so precious especially chib the doggo was so sweet. I hope Eric gets better soon bc he takes care of the animals so well. Maya you are the best for helping them when they need it ❤ bah bah bah lama lama 😁

[@lilabarrows6107]

That sounded like a human man DYING

[@xpiinaypiie9293]

Omg, I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that was like a grown man screaming 😂😭

[@blushampoo162]

Did Eric have a teddy fresh tee on lol?

[@groundchele]

this is my dream farm i love LGDs!

[@tamiemi]

Calling the animals paid actors is so funny once you understand this is all for the dogs.

[@iseetheWAYVision]

why these goats so niiiiiiiiiice lmao

[@antsyclara]

I did a google: Asiatic Lions are critically endangered (not from dogs, they were hunted with firearms until near extinction in the late 1800s like Eric said.) The last remaining population, less than 500 animals, lives in a protected conservation area in India.

[@yigi1148]

1:32:54 Heated Drama

[@LEM620]

how did she meet eric? is there any more streams with him?

[@siarha70]

there are so many baby goats what does he use them for? Does he sell goat milk ?

[@maiyorha]

i think the females are for breeding, and the males for slaughter. iirc she got tripper and peewee because they would've been sent to slaughter else

[@rhino1876]

No in the stream Maya talked about how the animals are actually just there to teach the dogs he breeds how to be proper farm dogs. I know he does also sell some of the goats every year. Maya talked about how Tripper and Peewee would have been sold.

[@pietincat]

one of my favorite streams since hasan visited alveus

[@HuthiHoti]

Who's baby goat is it? - Kanye West

[@ThatsKhali4uMa]

Sometimes I wonder if I should bother my paternal side and film on their farm. Turn it into a _Black Acting School_ (Hollywood Shuffle) situation just because.

[@mimzycakes]

baaaaa

[@surfingthedarkness]

QT throwing tomatoes at the WORST time hahahaha Btw: people annoyyyy the heck out of me during bounties. Do they not understand they need to friggin play along if they want Maya and ACERO who we all love and the goats and her doggos and ferret and the lil Bagel Bite to EAT?!! Normally a CEO of a non profit would take a very decent salary but Maya DOES NOT DO THAT!!! Just shut up or play along people, jesus!!!

[@denstrol]

buuuuuh

[@aurin5591]

Really wish chat wasn't on screen, they were being pretty cringe

[@dogsrlcatsdl4524]

...geese are psycho protective over their stuff so.... NOT FANS OF ALVEAUS.

[@driftspecs13]

Jesus, that tyrkinator guy is mega annoying.

[@xpiinaypiie9293]

That really took me out - was not expecting that to be the Llama call 😂🩷
