Derek you crack me up and love your passion for all the animals, the work you put in to keep them safe, healthy. Your voice for Dane is perfect 😹 love how he sits on his poo pile throne waiting to be served.

[@laurenwoodhouse2344]

I am cracking up at Derek’s song - great job!! 😂

[@janeweber317]

I think Roxie is so pretty, I love her face markings!

[@cbviau1332]

I'm so glad the snow fall was minimal in your area. I was concerned because the weather has been really hectic in many areas. Glad all the animals are okay. Those animals are a treat for me to watch. Happy days ...

[@michellewhite1924]

Wow!!! Roxy is sure coming around 😊 Sweet thing! And.... Not too much longer until the babies!! I'm like many of you all, on pins and needles anticipating that first uploaded birth 😉😯😁

[@tammycampbell2491]

Operation sneak up on the pigs was a success! You land is beautiful with or without snow. Wish you could send some my way in Texas!!

[@heatherolan7926]

Derek's singing in the beginning just made me laugh so hard. Thank you I needed that. 🙏 you guys rock. Going down to -20 tonight with the windshield in Ontario we are freezing 🥶😫😬😩

[@sheribristol2826]

Dane's expressions cracked me up 😆

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

I would put the 4 ft. fencing it will allow so many more options.

[@carmenHernandez-jg1kk]

Is so weird to see snow there but is fun too. I'm glad that everything is fine !!!

[@suepeterson5675]

The cover on your water tank looks like it could be a Duvet Cover for a king size bed. Your new addition for the animals looks great. 👍😊

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

Good Morning to our favorite soloist. I never lie:)

[@twoandaus]

Look at that snow!! Hard to believe that where I live it’s the middle of summer and scorching heat! Sending love all the way from Gippsland, VIC, AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺

[@alijohnson1365]

Right now I'm so jealous, it's been so cold the last couple of days here in very Northern Utah, U S

[@jenng2454]

Loved this video! I was wondering how everyone did in the snow

[@MsJazzyRay]

Just want to emphasize that I live this vlog! Derek all on his own, doing a DITL from his perspective. It's nice seeing each of you have your own time!

[@cindyboard7816]

The pigs are very smart! A pile of pigs keeps them all warm! Love the aerial shots!!! Stay safe!!!

It’s beautiful here when it snows, so happy for you it rained.

[@harleyjane3987]

Loved the drone footage. So pretty! Ms May was not having it, Derek....the look she gave you was so "Get outta here, you may NOT touch me."

[@lisacasoli]

Derek is so FUNNY he needs a band or his own channel it's great to see his passion with the animals to its a joy to watch all of you your a riot especially hiding from the pigs I thought maybe the goats were going to give you up.

[@judyreynolds305]

Congratulations on the rain from west Texas! We know how it is!

[@jeannettethorsby7085]

Dingo is such a cute dog! Love his toothy smile 😁. Not one of my friends believed me when I said it snowed here. Sent them this video and my own of our 2 foot snowman 😆 LoL.

[@wendymitchell4765]

It’s -2.2F here tonight. We’ve been cold all week.

[@christinacw621]

It's been a chilly week here too. (MN)

[@audreyabdo7719]

Good day to you Derek, we had snow here and it’s freezing. I wish yesterday we had maybe 20 degrees but with the strong heavy winds it was to cold to think straight. We warmed up this evening but not very much.

[@valeriemartinez7028]

they are so cute! love them all!

[@maureenritoridis814]

Wonderful video!!👍

[@vmedrano1954]

I love your videos a lot blessing always from ft worth tx the most I like from you is at the end of the video the way you say good bye.

[@beverlyweaver8754]

The ladies are beautiful 😍 I can't wait for kidding to begin. I dont have goats, but I love them. I recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching the videos. Thank yall for sharing. I really enjoy watching and learning. The piggies are loud and it would hurt my ears, but I love them too. They are so cute 😍 The pig palace is looking great. Love the new pet bird. 🐐❤

[@beverlyweaver8754]

The snow is beautiful.

[@FITZIEBLUE]

Hey Derek ! way to cover the Winter Wonderland song... now it's stuck in my head ; and every time it snows here in New England and i see those flakes coming down i'll hear in my ear your voice: "oh the ducks they're a ducking, and the bucks, they're a bucking..." that ear worm will melt the ice of my discontent as i tend to the outside chores ... bottom line it gave me a laugh and i'm sure it will come in handy !

[@hibee2k11]

It's like Black Ops with the pigs lol.

[@dianeslattery8845]

Well someone in a funny mood your funny 😄

[@lesliebarger897]

It sure is beautiful after snow fall it better in mountains down below

[@melodycrawford9943]

[@dorcaswatson4873]

The blue cover over your water tank is what we here in Australia call a doona cover. Aka the US term for comforter☺️

[@MerryKayMilam]

You need to oil that house trailer to keep it quiet so you can sneak up on the noisy piggies. LOL

[@vtriplej8334]

Derek you crack me up 😁💙 looks so beautiful 😍from your new bird xoxox Val

[@alicemazzucco2345]

Ya were getting hit with the snow and wind here in massachusetts,it's cold think said like below 25 and it's gonna snow till sat, really hate cold. But great to see u didn't get alot of snow. Just alit of cold wind. Can't wait for babies

[@suzie9905]

The goats are helping the ground by plowing it up with there little feet. It's kinda like poking holes in grass to get air to the roots.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

They sure do! Just not when it's so wet.

[@barkerfamilyfarms6482]

We had a storm pass through Arkansas fortunately it hit north of us so no snow for us.

[@alijohnson1365]

Hi there derek

[@maggiegtg4260]

Thanks 😀😀😀😂

[@debralittle1341]

I'm in Michigan. It's in the teens and twenties here day and night.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

No thank you!! 🤮 Try to stay warm!!

[@christinasteadman3622]

Tuscon got snow also. I was worried about my chickens mostly. Goats did good. My place( marana) didnt get nothing. Lol hope you enjoyed the snow.

[@marylouise890]

#Derek I’m so happy I found all of you! I know this is a old upload, but that’s fine for me. #Crystal I am LoViN watching YALL. I feel blessed to have found y’all. 💙🐐💙 I hope y’all do have a extra minute to do a fast read. I promise I will try to keep my comment as short as possible. But no promise 🐐😊🇺🇸 The pigs. I can’t remember their breed but I had thought 💭 about getting a couple. I’m sure y’all probably have little ones on the ground by now. Those pigs have a fantastic following. Lots of ppl love their disposition, but that HIGH PITCH SOUND. Well let’s get to the point. Thank You both for convincing me I don’t have another land for that high pitch squill (SC) Love 💕 you guys and your youngins are precious! Love to hear Derek on his drums. I married a music man 51 years ago. So I kinda know that feeling. Nothing gives one that feeling like their sound👍 On my way to finish watching this episode again. With will be my third time 👏🏼 💙💙🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐💙💙 D. I see why C. Fell in love with you💙💥💕💕💙💕💥🇺🇸 I’ll be backkkkkkkk🙋‍♀️

[@janinebell763]

It is stinking hot here in Perth, Western Australia. We have had a few gales at night but not much else.

[@terril2643]

Love your channel. Wishing I was back south! ... Bedding costs in colder country are crazy! Ya'll are fairly close to Willcox. I grew up in those areas. Its so odd watching this crazy weather down there! Still have family living down there.

[@kimnisley2563]

Seems so funny that you got three inches of snow in Arizona and I got less than you did here in northern Indiana. So much for our lake effect snow. Lol! While waiting on this years kids to be born I’ve been watching the old videos of kid births. Have a great weekend!

[@MsJazzyRay]

I live in Northern Indiana too!

[@MsJazzyRay]

Well, we got our snow now!

[@kimnisley2563]

Well we can always send our snow to Arizona so they have more water! Lol

[@callydavis3071]

Love the songfest intro 😂

[@joymorgan4735]

I love your videos it's so family oriented, i would love to try some of soaps,just have to figure out how to order

[@sojournerfarmsgoats4930]

Feeling warm at around 25-30 degrees in Indiana!

[@MsJazzyRay]

Yup... it's been sticking around these temperatures for over a month...

[@justme-uw6bz]

Loved that singing and the lyrics.

[@robinjones3767]

i love you

[@frenchysandi]

Snow here is normal. It’s 21 at the moment. But can get down to minus degrees the coldest I remember was -35. Here in Minnesota winter is COLD.

[@christinacw621]

I'm in MN too. It hasn't been too bad yet this winter.

[@frenchysandi]

@@christinacw621 I pray it stays that way. My old bones don’t like the cold.

[@christinacw621]

My old bones agree!! I'm quite enjoying the milder than usual weather.

[@marylouise890]

#Crystal have you been keeping notes? If not maybe you need to go to the store and check out a better smelling pad! That really does Matter. 💙💙🐐💙💙

[@mackenziewhalen1245]

Derek sings good I needed your video had a rough couple of days

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Sorry to hear that! I hope the days ahead look up for you!! 🤗

[@marylouise890]

YIKES. 🙃 Got a little longggggg 🌸💙🐐🌸🐐💙

[@sandrathomas2145]

I would love to get your snow storm with little snow. We are getting a storm this weekend (the 30th and the 31st) with about 9" of snow. We had just a week ago about 4" then before that we got 8". I do not like snow.

[@ashleyacosta3751]

Yay 🤗

[@christinacw621]

It's supposed to warm up to 26° here in MN tomorrow! Our snow isn't going anywhere for a few months though.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

😂 warming up to 26° 🤮

[@mechellturner3915]

Laughing at the song. But gonna need to oil the doors on the trailer to cut the squeaks. .

[@brody6103]

Have you considered making a structure for Dane ( big dog) to lay on so when he is scannimg the horizon for coyotes or javelinas, he wouldn't have to lay on the manure pile

[@harleyjane3987]

I'd bet money on it that they could build Dane the best throne in the desert and Dane would still choose the poo pile.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

😂 I'd put money on you being right!

[@heavenly-dreamsdairygoats]

Great video, Thank you for sharing, qe have 4 weeks give or take with kidding season. Not sure will yours go before mine. God Bless

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

It's sneaking up!! Our first due date is February 25th!
