[@cheyannehoggard12]

Oh my goodness! I can't believe that it's almlst been 18 months since Hope was born! 😮 I still remember watching her birth on the live stream. 😂 Can't wait for all the babies!

[@Night-ud4ew]

17 months now. Holy cow, i dont know why but i cant even imagine it. I saw 18months and i thought "no she isnt, she's like 10 months old, right?" how the heck is my sense of time so crazy?! I knew she was born last year but this year has gone by so fast, it feels like it's march still and Tilly's first babies were born in like june or something!

[@diannasills217]

I love it. You two are so cute about the impending deliveries. Gina looks like and acts like an excited grandmother just by the expression on her face. Those goats are so lucky to be in your family and to be so loved. Love you guys.

[@riverrat1431]

That knot flyback from your table saw brought back some Scarry memories for me . I had a knot kick back and knock the lens out of my safety glasses and cut my face below my eye . now I always wear a full face safety shield .

[@maryclairekalamafoni9524]

Yes! Babies! So much to look forward to!💓 The cabinet looks great! I love the staggered boards on the sides!💓

[@robertlafollette8931]

Congratulations are in order. Your going to have more kids. Can't wait to see the babies. May God continue to Bless your Homestead.

[@brendalawrence6732]

So happy to hear that two of the girls are expecting. Spring on the homestead is going to be very busy, but oh so fun! I am also glad to see that you are using your amazing organization storage and building some more for the basement of the house. Wonderful and it is looking so great. Al, I'm so glad you weren't hurt when that piece of wood flew at you, you need to think about wearing more protection on your face. It's the mom in me, but after seeing that, it is a must!

[@TheNumber1Terry]

Chrystal at Blue Cactus Dairy goats has babies coming now and into next month. She's very interested in improving milk production in her herd. Maybe a good place for a new doe to add to your herd.

[@jessicapabon2105]

LOL I was going to recommend Blue Cactus Dairy and I see someone already did. I love watching Crystal from the Cactus Ranch... she is amazing as well as her husband and her lovely kids... but Crystal knows a lot about goats and has been showing them in shows and breeding them and caring for them for years. She can help you out for sure. Just reach out to her... one thing I learned from Crystal from Blue Cactus Ranch is that if a female does not get pregnant she is going to require a more aggressive male to actually get her pregnant??

[@amyatkinson1983]

Al, you truely are a master at your craft. You make carpentry look easy. Gina, Many blessings to your beautiful family and congrats on the goaties on the way!!

[@ellenvirgillo6716]

I can't wait for the babies/kids to get here,they are adorable. When Gina said you all could spend time with each set of babies when they get here.This is why the goats you have are so loveable and gentle.

[@Bass2010]

[@loriehabel1552]

Not telling yall what to do by any means,but Crystal is getting some beautiful bucks so far this year. I looking forward to seeing the colors on the kids this year😁. Nice shoe rack 👍

[@margaretbedwell58]

So glad at least two o the goats are pregnant. It is going to be a fun time this Spring. Nice storage cubby too. Y'all have a Blessed weekend. See ya Monday.

[@conegallery]

You two are such great goat parents it's going to be super fun to see how many kids you end up with!

[@amydelp3082]

You should get on the waiting list for Blue Cactus dairy farm. She has get blood lines and her ducklings and feelings are gorgeous.

[@pinkywilliams8063]

Wonderful News!!!!! Can't wait til the babies arrive.... Thanks for sharing

[@jfcanen]

I have taught woodworking in public schools and can not stress enough that need to install the blade cover and splitter on your table saw or more serious injuries may follow.

[@reginae3181]

Gina if you watch Blue Cactus dairy goats KZbin channel she shows you how to feel for babies. It’s really cool because you can feel them kick 😁🐐

[@bigmamma6946]

Would you consider going on the list From blue cactus dairy, crystals goats are gorgeous

[@aislingburgess1601]

I was also going to suggest Blue Cactus!

[@shotami65]

I was thinking the same thing, Crystal loves her goats and the new babies are so cute...but can't wait to see the new babies here!

[@wendy833]

I was watching Crystal the other day with her 2 sets of babies. She was saying 150ish days for gestation. She's also an AZ farm.

[@ubetchya78]

A bonus with Crystal's kids is that her does (and buck's bloodlines) are selected for udder and teat size and attachment, and most of them have milk stars already... and while Al does not show or test his stock, such items still can translate to easier milking and higher yield.

[@michellepernula872]

Are there ugly goats? lol

[@jtdamomma]

@Lumnah Acres You might want to keep the doe and buck together for 21-30 days, so there's a better chance of breeding, since they'll go into heat more than once, and her heat only lasts 3 days. Once she acts like she no longer likes him, chances are, she's bred. You can also get some powder paint that livestock owners use. You spray about a 2" spot on her rump, and if it smears, that means the buck mounted her. I hope it helps!

[@JDLarge]

Funny, as I yell to the wife all excited I’m saying” babies honey, the babies are on their way yaaaaaay!” My younger son (23) looks at the wife and says “really mom, aren’t you like 51 already? You’ll be 69 to 70 when that baby graduates high school! Wow did you guys plan on this?!” Meanwhile the wife and I are turning purple trying not to laugh! We’ve decided to let it go without any further explanation, just to see how big of a tale gets back to us between our other two kids and probably half the neighborhood and all of our social media Hahahahahaha!

[@barbarashotts5598]

😅🤣🐐🐐

[@catman19]

Good one!

[@LilMisFitToo]

You’ll have to be sure to let us know how the rumor mill turns out. 😂

[@patriciablanton6243]

Hey Al, where is the first aid kit going to go? Wouldn't a Goat Journal be helpful along with ear tags or tattoos so you can keep it all straight (less confusing)? It's easy now with just a few pregnant but later it can get muddled. So if you choose to register or show them you will have the records.

[@greensnapper1602]

Tattoo in the Ear that what we do here on our Live Stock ... Letters & Numbers on Blood Line

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Gina keeps the records on everything. Guess she just didn't have the book with her.

[@nancylitton390]

[@bobbikuhn3496]

I love popping I each day to see what is going on with your family. You both have such a connection with your animals. It is wonderful to see they are more like pets than livestock. Thank you for being such wonderful parents. I remember being on the farm as a child. And I treated each of our animals like members of our family. I learn how to build things better from watching you build things. I love it! Zeke and Calab are both daddies? Is that correct?

[@kirstenwhitworth8079]

I love, _Love, _*_LOVE_* the discussion between Gina and Al about the goats. You really did your homework - well done. I love, _Love, _*_LOVE_* the shoe rack. I want to build one of those - but for mostly boots. I have always loved boots and have several "dead" pairs, some really cool ones, imo. I think I am going to plant bulbs or herbs in all my old, blown out boots.

[@beverlysmith5658]

Also I'm so excited can't wait to see all the new kids.

[@vickiefinn8173]

That is a wonderful idea Al you need a special friend for Hope because she still gets picked on by the older goats

Both Willows are due in April, yours and Weed em and Reap. Ditto on Blue Cactus, her husband Derek says stuff about Al quite often.

[@seansysig]

Al you should build a dust control hood that utilizes dust capturing on your shopvac for your mitersaw to protect your lungs

[@70acres]

LOL 8:08 Figaro demands to see your OSHA certification. I think it will be easier all around to have the goat births spread out this way. It gives each mom and kids the most attention, if they need it, and will be less stressful for all y'all. Blessings to all.

[@jbbrown7907]

I like the way your stop works on the chop saw. I would cut an angle on the stop end so sawdust couldn't get in there an muck up the measurement.

[@jaymeberkshire5119]

I'm surprised Gina hasn't made bird houses and feeders with the left over wood. Birds eat lots of bugs and it would be fun for Livy to watch them and their babies.

[@melissajarvis4829]

Aren't there some vaccines that your pregnant does should get 6-4 weeks before they kid? C & T? I love Weed 'em and Reap, but Blue Cactus Dairy has lots of kids coming right now, and her does and bucks are champions, with the does with milk stars and the bucks' dams having them, too. Also, she recently said that she uses 145 days for Nigerian goat gestation. Hope this helps!

[@cathywilliams7336]

Congratulations. So happy for you and your family. Love learning about farm life

[@walterzaremba3866]

I enjoy watching your different projects, And when it comes to the goats I was just wondering are you planning on doing any goat cheese I love Garlic and herb goat cheese with my seafood It's awesome, Good luck with the baby goats Opens as many as you want And yes I'm an old farmer But I haven't had much experience with goats mostly Cows and pigs Chicken and turkeys and guinea fowl, Thanks for what you do it makes an old man happy, Keep up the good work. Z

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

And old women too. ;)

[@bobsort]

26:50, I could see their baby bump in your 3rd last video, when they run, you can see the difference from behind.

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

If I understand what you were saying, Caleb is Willows buck and Zeke is Buttercups buck. Which says both are able to impregnate. If that's the case I would move Blossom back over in the front barn with the bucks and see if they bring her into heat. Then, you can chose who you want to be the buck. That way your spacing out birthing over the season and milk production will be more constant. Because after Blossom gets bred you will have Hope following her. More likely than not you will get some males this season and you may be able to trade one of the bucks for another buck to add another blood line to the herd. I would not castrate any right away until you know what your future breeding plan is.

[@AliJaeJR]

And that my friends is why you should use the full mask protection. Glad you’re ok.

[@greensnapper1602]

Thank You

[@BiterAvid]

Yeah Al almost got a pirate scar on his lip.

[@edaker4684]

A face shield is overkill for table saw work. I say this as a professional woodworker of 25+ years. What happened there was not that common and only as a result of working with knotty pine. A riving knife on the saw would be of more benefit and should be installed.

[@gailbrault9251]

[@wilmagregory8967]

I had hoped that the constant butting of Hope wouldn't have eased up by now but I see it continues. If only she had a buddy to hang with that wasnt mean to her. I think Gina can build about anything now. Thanks for the video. Much love peace and respect. Blessings

Thanks for all your tips along the way, so many things you've done have been so helpful! God Bless! See you in the next video!

Due to the care and quality environment you providing for your goats, I think they will make a record at least for the homestead.

I'm on a similar timeline. Drawing blood to check CAE and pregnancy this week. Everyone got their CDT vaccination. I may have one doe that did not take. I acquired 2 more does, one a 12* milker. I will breed her for end of the year kids. You might consider doing milk test to continue the milk star, my girl's are high butterfat and I'm considering to verify their data.

Hoping in future do like you and your family share adventures. Hopefully give other ideas or way do stuff. So can improve ways or make thing simpler. Sometimes over think things and make them difficult for ourselves. Main things is be open minded and watch and learn things. Like we try teach our kids. Look for to your videos.

Good morning Al and Gina great video as always you should order your ear tags from Premier 1 which you can custom with your farm logo and also us a color code fathering system lol..Zeke has a yellow ear tag, and Caleb has a green tag so you would know who the father is just an idea so when you have a bit of kids running around

[@paulrice1918]

I have no experience with goats so have some questions. What is the life expectancy of your breed of goats. How old can they be and still be bred. How long after the birth do you wait to start milking. How many goats do you plan to have on the farm.

[@dakotawinds9291]

sometimes that is not feasible. For me it was not, we raise rabbits and we had to find a new buck outside our area as our stock has the bloodlines of all the local breeders. We actually found a new buck at a show a month ago and it came out of Canada with bloodlines I thought I was only going to dream about adding to the herd. Can not wait to start breeding next month. Just might have one in the next box then that will be best in show at the state convention!

sometimes with certain female goats you have to leave them in with the buck for 2 to 3 months some females have a hard time getting pregnant and it takes longer
