Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!
Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

There's like a doggy door that can be programmed to open either for a specific microchip or an RFID tag on the dog's collar. So no unwanted animals can trespass willingly. :)

[@TheFacelessCat]

I also came to suggest this! They could mount it to the fence

[@mongooseodon7608]

And if Minnie gets out while the coyote is there, it could end badly

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

@@mongooseodon7608 I have a door in the fence, if the dog, cat or .... it doesn't thru the doggy door!

[@jotreglown4058]

Great idea

[@ShiningSakura]

@@mongooseodon7608 Not if minnie doesn't have the "key" chip or tag she won't.

[@vickiefinn8173]

For still being a puppy Salem looked like she did pretty good with the training, she's a beautiful dog.

[@BrendaGarcia-fv1vf]

For a maybe solution to the in and out for Salem, maybe a doggie door that only opens for Salems collar

[@Vereynique]

That is what I was thinking. Build a door and add a doggie door that only operates to a chip on her collar.

[@jessicapabon2105]

That would be a good idea to keep by coyote from going to the other side where you don't want it to go to

[@Vereynique]

@@anaa6573 you can have a chip on the actual collar as well. But having your animal chipped and data current is always a good idea.

Such a good idea! They each have some awesome qualities - it’ll be interesting to see what they each bring!

[@its.janette9124]

Watch do you video videos

[@serrinahuntercarducci3057]

We have a doggie door for a large dog that has a sensor on its collar that the door senses and it doesn’t allow anything else to come in and out but the dog. It works rather well. We got it from Amazon. I know Kevin can build a craft through the gate or the fence line with the doggie door just take simple framing. That way Salem can run back-and-forth.

[@deborahmeijer9697]

Chip dogge Doors i was thinking the same

[@elisemiller8419]

I know that they have electronic dog doors that are activated by a collar the dog wears. I'm not sure how you would install that on the fence or if it would work in this situation, but it's an idea.

[@fluffyleopard33]

Whenever you babysit someone else's pet with no specific end date, you end up gaining a new pet XD

[@BeekeepingWithTheBirds]

You could possible make a seesaw where she runs out into the pasture and then runs back into the fenced area with out making anything where the goats and chickens can access it? If that makes sense😆

[@LizReeves1971]

So happy you are keeping Hazel! I love watching her. I hope her previous owner gets to visit a lot. 🥰

[@jennifercollins5201]

Welcome Hazel to the herd! And the people who will get Jasper will get a very good goat! 💖

[@shamancarmichael5305]

So glad Hazel is joining the herd! Wish Jasper could, but once they grow up and become a buck they sure lose a lot of their appeal! 😁

[@Maggie.The.Unicorn]

I enjoyed the discussion about conformation, especially how you explained why certain traits are desirable from a functional aspect. That's interesting stuff to someone nerdy like me! I think when faced with an aggressive, hunting coyote, Salem would pick up on it and respond appropriately.

[@denisecurtis7050]

i am glad to know your son Ethan is doing better.i am a mother and i know how that feels i love your show and watch you guys all the time.i"m from Chicago but my grandparent had a small farm in Michigan.Thank you for the memory!

[@AlexCren1]

I will say that in the horse world we have a saying, “A good stallion will make a great gelding.” I’ve always found that to be true. More people regret the time taken to leave one as a stallion in hopes he will mature out the way they want rather than going ahead and gelding (in your case wethering) them and selling them to a good home. While goats don’t require as much cost to feed or time to raise as a horse with the small area you have to keep bucks in I would definitely factor that in when you decide what you will do with jasper.

[@kyliepechler]

Thank you so much guys for the 25 minute vlog 👍 So glad that you have decided to keep Hazel!

[@AAliyahMya]

I love the breeding content! I want a goat and poultry homestead so it's always really interesting to see you talk about the science and reasoning on the way you're doing things especially because you explain it in a way everyone can understand.

[@dragons96901995]

If you already have a family lined up for a "pet" buck, then with how sweet he is it may be better to let him go as a pet, there will be potential for more kids from her in the future as well

[@100snyderm]

I agree. Then you have more time to assess her strengths and weaknesses before saving breeding stock...

[@lisanelson656]

Jasper really does look like Zorro. That's so adorable!

[@mammagoosesammyx3371]

I wish we could have seen Zorro's reaction! I wonder if he would have defended the honour of the family herd. 😉 Or Napoleon saving the herd from invasion! Haha 😂

[@FarmerFpv]

I don't comment much, but I must say you guys have come a long way with your knowledge of the animals and the production value of the videos, and quality consistency. Salem needs one of those dog doors that are programmed to a collar so it will only open for her. When she is fully mature she might be able to jump over the fence like Super Dog. Get her a cape, lol.

[@CarolinaGirlCreationZ]

I predict Salem will LOVE chasing a coyote and protecting your urban farm! She was so ready to go after that one. So surprised it came around during the day. I thought they were nocturnal hunters. Crazy! Also....awwwww!!!! Yayyyy for Hazel staying on your farm! Such happy news!

[@rubyh5760]

Salem is such a good girl the day she came she took all of hearts away I hope she will protect the farm and protects all the chickens and all of the goats (we love you Salem ❤️❤️❤️

[@ana21cg]

My girl Salem has the size of an adult but the spirit of a puppy 💖

[@tamaralacasse7510]

Regarding letting Salem go in and out of the pasture without letting the goats/chickens leave, I know it exists a doggy door that works via a chip. The dog/cat has a chip on their collar and when they get close to the door, it unlocks and locks back when at a certain distance! That could be a good solution :)

[@MyFutureMyStory]

I love yalls videos! ❤🐐 Thank you for taking time out of your life to make videos and to share your life with all of us! It's so crazy to remember when I first started watching yall Lydia And Ethan were SOO SMALL 🤣 🤍 haha

[@miglemazintaite8374]

Heyyyy i absolutely love this channel been watching since 2019 absolutely love it💕💕

[@cynthiawilson8294]

Does Hazel’s record of singletons bring any concerns of genetic predisposition and/or future herd value? If she’s a star milker, would that be sufficient to round out her other qualities?

[@Weedemandreap]

Yes, I think she is definitey still has other great qualities - and it could be that she needs to put on more weight, so we may wait a bit to breed her again so we make sure she’s in top shape:)

[@cacadecanary8146]

Hazel does have better sized teats than some of the other does. That’s a improvement

[@weeb535]

Do a field turnstile! They’re all over in England. You have to turn 180 degrees and move the gate so goats shouldn’t be able to do it but Salem could be trained

[@biancacoppedge6867]

Mrs. Mom in glasses is just- 👌✨

[@vwvw4]

The dog door with a sensor for the collar is the best suggestion. But in the meantime, you should not have her using the bridge as jumping from even a 3 ft height prior to 2 yrs of age can cause damage to the joints of a large breed dog.

[@sarahforeman725]

Microchip dog door/flap on the gate. If she’s not chipped some come with tags to activate it. I know you can get them for cats but not sure on dogs

There are doggy doors that open and close only for your dog if they have a special tag on their collar but you will have to check on waterprrofing because of pond and irrigation. Pizza oven looks great !! Good job Kevin. And I adore all your animals. They are so cute. You are great breeders.

Good thing about Hazel but to bad you guys arnt keeping Jasper because you guys have just made this AMAZING bond lol

[@dave1212ish]

Hazels udder really improved! Very interesting to see the change, thanks for sharing! Cool that she has such great genetics. Can’t wait to see this years kiddings.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Coyotes again? Oh my the yote got that rooster so quick. The roo was defending his girls maybe, no match for a yote though. Tough to go through that but that’s hey why you got Salem eh. Molly our Old English Sheepdog would most likely chase it down but luckily she has never countered any predators yet. She does have protective instincts though as I’m sure Salem does too. Love the video guys. Keep us updated on the coyotes as I’m curious to see how Salem handles things. Cheers, Chad.

[@jenniferp5916]

If the stuffed coyote isn't ripped apart, you may try repeating the lesson with actual coyote yips, etc. .. recorded from the internet, so she can recognize the sounds as an enemy, when they wander the corridors/alleys between streets. (Kevin sounded like a dog, and I wouldn't want her to be confused) Hopefully she'll learn to be on high alert if she hears them. The use of the urine was good, as that too can be recognized and associated with them. Although they're generally quiet when attacking, the pack will call out to each other as they wander and search for prey. At least that is what they do in our rural community of Edgewood, NM. Good luck with the training!

[@karenhorn6685]

Jasper seems to have a lot of good qualities

[@Echo4315]

The parts of the videos with body structure is very educational and I actually used the example of having stonger udder attachments in one of my exams. The question was on genetic diversity and selective breeding.

Salem will instinctively want to protect her pack and territory. You could put a dog flap in the fence with a microchip on Salem’s collar which only allows her access. xx

[@havenarnold415]

Salem is so brave

[@organizer.spaztasticc3541]

A few days ago, our neighbor's dog got in and killed some of our chickens (This is his second offense), but one of them was still alive. I wasn't sure what to do, so I came back a bit later to find that she was still breathing. We brought her inside, disinfected her wounds, and let her rest up, and after a day, she began eating and drinking. We've returned her outside, as she is alert and doing fine, but it's times like these I wish we had a guard dog. Much love to Salem and your family.
