[@hattiecolley54]

Great work Crystal. Darin do such a great job behind the Camera and appears to like it. I am so proud of what All of u do, and appreciate the Attention and Live u give to the Goats. Thank u for sharing!

[@Zinnias2go]

“And you get a star ⭐️….and you get a star….” 😂 Congratulations! Well done girls! (And family for your care) 👏 Love watching you make soap! Very interesting what you can put in it and it remains stable (cucumber for instance) Excited for the breeding/pairing season again! Can’t believe it’s here again 😮🥰

[@debrarevel]

I love the way Anna “herds” the goats into the stall by barking. Not to mention they way she mothers the baby goats. She is really earning her keep.

[@alexandrajeffries9273]

Thank you Crystal! I always learn something new from you! The dosage comment about location was extremely helpful!

[@junkieluv5326]

I just noticed the almost perfect heart on Dreamers side..Beautiful ❤ I'm ready for the kidding season..that's when it gets really interesting!! Love to the whole Family!!

[@lindap9342]

You could tell where Lodi gets her facial expression from when you were trimming Lillie's hoofs. Lillie was certainly displaying it.

[@cindyboard7816]

CONGRATULATIONS on the milk stars!!!!! We❤🔵🌵🍶🐐s!!!! Stay safe!!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Thank you!!

[@VideoSaySo]

The nurse came in to hang another drip and watched Dreamer get her wormy shot lol She said you gave that injection like a pro! She appreciated the way you instructed to hold the needle bevel up!

[@MaryABaker-rd3mm]

I love watching you work with your goats! They are such good girls and I know it is because you guys work and love them. I do wish I could get one of each of your soaps but next to buying them I'll have to make do with the one I bought which I lovel and watching you make them. Just wish I could smell them,

[@ruthnstevebeery8146]

We're getting ready for our very first breeding season!!! Thanks for all the fun and informative content. Also, I apparently need to start making soap. It looks like such a satisfying hobby! Well done!

[@GenuinelyJodi]

Dinky has come so far! Incredible testimony to you all!! Your goats are outstanding. Love watching your videos!

[@wendywobbles1]

Dreamer still has her heart ♥♥♥♥

[@grandmama05]

Crystal, in every video I can see the love you have for your goats!

[@jillarbogast9946]

I have noticed that also. Thank You for making your wonderful fabulous soap. I let my daughter and granddaughter pick whatever they wanted. They were happy & excited. Your awesome my dear. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND GOATS AND DOGS. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌻🦋🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐕🐕🌵 🌵🌵

[@angiebrewer9960]

I love the way you care for your goats and you’re always so willing to show us what we need to do to help us have nice healthy goats as well! Thanks!

[@carmenHernandez-jg1kk]

[@caroladuske9600]

I am really looking forward to many small baby goats ❤️ I love all your videos...You are such a great goat mum ❤️🙂❤️

[@sherreeroper7656]

Your herd is so healthy looking and "I can't wait for babies!" For someone so young you know your shit Crystal.

[@teresaatwater672]

That’s wonderful news about your milking stars! Congratulations!

[@kimfrommn7162]

Great Video!!!! Congratulations on the Milk Stars!!!! I am very proud of your whole family!!!!! Super People, Super Animals, and Super Videos on this channel and your other channel, Blue Cactus Adventures!!!! Getting excited for some new little babies!!! Have a Great Day you all and God Bless!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼

[@laurie8166]

Good job with your herd. I hope to learn from you all there is to be a good herd shepherd.

[@babs3343]

Woohoo for butter fat and milk stars! Healthy herd!!🐐 But I do miss your chickens.

[@DONNABROWN1959]

Congratulations! 🎉 Prayers and Blessings always ♥️🙏♥️🌧🥰

[@NicoleCChoque]

We haven't heard too much about the bucks for a while. I look forward to find out your breeding pairings! Will Dreamer get the same pairing again, to see if she'll continue to have those gorgeous kids with hearts? Or a change up and see if she'll still have those hearted babies! 😊💙🐐 (at least Dinky has a heart pattern, being on its side on her side/belly). Anyway...🤠👍

[@rebekahstahl1018]

I love the commercial! 🤣 it’s adorable

[@annettebischoff9715]

Great video. Love the soap making and the goat's

[@judithruf-duty6259]

I think Anna is barking to tell them " Mom said go, go, go!!!" LOL 😆

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol!

[@nitapachulski9758]

That is so cool that all the goats are getting there milking ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@barbaralavoie1045]

As always really enjoyed this video, Crystal. ❤️💕

[@jrsf222]

Your family unity and sturdiness shines on. It’s a pleasure to watch your channel. The new face on the pens, fencing and milk stations is quite remarkable from when I first turned in. Husband is quite handy and of course the teepee tents for the climbers and shelters as well as milking station are rescue inventions. All making it easier when the family Carrie’s on with education. Fabulous soaps and more talents unfold.

[@candyturner7619]

I love 💕 the heart shape on her side.. so much love

[@MaryABaker-rd3mm]

Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤

[@debbiefechter3477]

Just want to take a moment to thankyou for your soap. For the first time my husband has been experiencing dry itchy skin. I purchased the soap with the olive oil, aloe and we both love the results. You have a few fantastic combinations! Thank you for your efforts.

[@carolynnance2376]

Great video. You are such a hard worker. I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your farm with us. Blessings from Oklahoma City Grandmother( Meme). Love your almost grown kids also. Good kids, great training from a great mom and dad.

[@trenarexroad4083]

Congrats on the milk stars, I just love all the pretty goats, can't wait to see your pairings for breeding season😊

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

Love to see how Derek's Contraption works looks like a great idea your husband is a genius.

[@dannycooper2784]

I've watched your channel since you've last bred I really love yove watching you guys I really hope I get a goat of yours in the future xx

[@mattyduplessis9564]

I love your vids. I also own goats

[@judithruf-duty6259]

When you are giving selenium, I always get a kick out of you telling them how good it smells. They think buck pee smells good!!!!! LOL 😆 🤣

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Hahahaa!

[@NoelBOwens-fd4xz]

Great news!

[@RebekahTOUCHEDBYYARN]

Oh I am so happy for you on all the goats butterfat in their milk that is absolutely great

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Thank you!

[@Jules1280]

Can't wait to see who is paired with which buck. I think the swirly style on top of this soap would be pretty also. The one you make with the wooden skewer. Blessings!

[@judythymian3469]

Congratulations!💥on your stars🌵🤠

[@myrisiafranklin8067]

Excited 😃🥰👍👌

[@lindagullage3077]

Congrats on the milk stars and the great butter fat scores.

[@barbbrauer6274]

Great video as always! I cant wait to see the next contraption Derek will make for hoof trimming!! You guys are amazing and so fun to watch! Love to all

[@montyboy9809]

Yummy hoof snacks for the dogs!

[@Kriswixx]

I own 0 goats, live in concrete city, but I love your vids dear!~

[@InOurHealthyEra]

Hi! I really enjoyed your video. We’re a very small farm in New Mexico with 6 does and 2 bucks. I learn a lot with every video of yours I watch. Thanks for the cool soap making session too- cucumber mint sounds amazing. Blessings to you and your herd this breeding season!

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

Gratz on goats' test results! Though I'm a bit new, here, so I'm not totally sure what the stars are about, but I get that higher protein and butterfat would be desirable. I so want goats someday. Thank you for sharing all your terrific wisdom with us. You inspire me so much!!!

[@gingerlygingerlee3023]

🎉🎉🎉Congratulations! I believe your love and care for your goats helps in the milk production as much as genetics. So, great job and congratulations to y'all. 🎉🎉🎉

[@jasonpaquin3540]

My wife loves loves loves goats! 🐐 she even wants goats but we can't because we already have 4 guinea pigs two are girls two are boys. So we are taking care of them.🐹🐐😍🥰😊😇😚☺😙😗😘💝💖💗💓💞💕💟❤🧡💛💚💙💜👍

[@karencary3312]

Sanding Brock uses an electric automatic clipper on her sheep. She was having problems with the repetitive motion causing hand pain. She switched to the automatic electric clipper and her hand pain was much better and she felt it was faster.

[@cindyzeyouma8984]

I enjoy your herd and your diligence on their upkeep. I'm interested in the type of oil you use for your base. I use goat products and it sure has been a big help with my type of skin..

[@trinaogg2550]

Hi Crystal! love watching you working with the girls. I love some of there looks they give you. It kind of looked like Mayo was giving you a glare for calling her thick

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol

[@donnakillewald9151]

Maybe for doing maintenance on the goats, you could use a HAMMOCK, like DeNelle has. The goats legs would hang down, for easy access. Just a thought🤷🏻‍♀️

[@shargomol3572]

Yay date month!! The tests definitely show that you're on the right track with the health of the herd. All your hard work is paying off. Have a great week 🐐 fam ❤️❤️

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

🤗

[@mechellturner3915]

congrats on the milk tests. How much lye is in ar was put into the pot. really nice.

[@greenloomgoats9055]

again 22 does with 4 to 5 bucks .....it's very interesting 👌

[@gregandpeggycampbell]

😇😇😇💜

[@TaliaBSJ]

21:35 all I hear when you say to fold it in is David on Schitt’s Creek ‘how do you fold in the cheese?!’ 😂

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed the video

[@debbiepierce3045]

Watching you do the goats hooves may me wonder if you wouldn't benefit from a powered pair of cutters, Sandi Brook has some for the sheep, maybe have a look cos I'm sure your hands must ache when you've done all your goats. We had 3 goats when I was younger, it was fun helping my brother look after them. When he was away I got to milk them.

[@fuzzynfriends8383]

Congrats on the butterfat percentages! I love your channel- I’m always too late to comment ;). Question: how do you clean out your containers that had lye in them?

[@SabbathAcresRanch]

Are you still doing copper bolus? Can't wait for baby goats! It's about time for me to breed my girls as well. 9.9 Butterfat?!? That is crazy! Great job Crystal, keep it up! - Love y'all from Sabbath Acres Ranch MT

[@marcigotz3620]

Crystal have you ever tried an electric trimmer? Just asking. Video is great. I love you guys. Goates Rule

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

No but I've thought about getting one.

[@Dilasguppies]

Have you looked into electric nail cutters? Sheepishly me has them and makes her nail clipping fast and efficient.

[@corrinekelly4109]

Hi Cristal I saw u hoof trimming I was wondering have u seen the trimmer cutter that one of the lady I watch Sandi Brook she has a u tube channel in Canada . She has sheep and used the same cutters as u but after so many her hands hurt but now she has a electric pair and has them done in no time she trims ever couple a month but the sheep feet look just the same I no she said they were dear I hope I have helped sorry for spelling mistakes love watching the goats 🐐 love watching them kidding xxx

[@paisleyjane9606]

As much as I love watching you make soap, I love the soap cutting even more. Unrelated to that, I've long wondered if the goats would still need hoof trimming if their environment were rockier.

[@paisleyjane9606]

All right, ALL RIGHT! I just saw the latest short at supersonic speed, and I think you know that's not what I meant. Why are you playing with my heart?

[@banana99914]

there are 22 goats. If 2 little ones ( Mia and Leia) will not be bred, which one will also not be bred?

[@isabellasutton3423]

❤❤️🤗🐐🐐

[@lindagullage3077]

So many pretty girls

[@selenajakes]

Do you have a video that shows what you feed everyday what minerals you use and whats in you medical kit?

[@sheilawolfe3554]

Crystal I love your feeds. I watch it every time it comes up on my phone. I would like to try your soap but I can't find how to order it. Can you help me out with that? Keep up the good work. You and your girls are so beautiful

[@rebeccahenkins1697]

That wasn’t 1 ml - it was 0.6 so almost half the dose. I am a nursing pharmacology instructor LOL so I teach this every day - the plunger edge at the top is where you match your like - not the back of it! So you might want to recheck and see if it was just this time on video whoops or are they usually getting less than you intended. I jsut want you and your girls and boys to stay healthy and on track :)

[@Kcricket82]

Should rub the skin before the shot and not after. Rubbing the skin before the shot desensitizes the injection area making it less painful. Rubbing after can actually in some cases make it more painful. Love watching you! Thanks for the video!!!~

[@hermithag]

Rubbing spreads the medication out

[@Kcricket82]

@@hermithag Still makes it hurt more...And that's why I don't let nurses to that to me. It will disperse on its own without rubbing.

[@Kcricket82]

Next time you get a shot give it a good rub after, let me know how it makes it feel. Its not currently recommended and is an old practice.

[@lilyivers3489]

🎉

[@janw491]

Wow that’s higher butterfat than a jersey cow😯

[@melvinbuechler2806]

Bullies and Nannies .

[@theinkyfriends]

Sadly I'm actually allergic to Lye so it's very hard to find soaps that's hasn't got Lye in it and not end up with dermatitis all over my hands and face

[@rebeccahenkins1697]

There is no lye (sodium hydroxide) left once it goes through saponification process. The sodium hydroxide would burn anyones skin if applied directly but the act of mixing with oil changes it so it isn’t sodium hydroxide any more. Anything else you buy is detergent - not soap. Most of the “soaps” in the stores are actually detergent. Soap varies a LOT and some soaps have to sit longer to mellow out or maybe you need a different oil blend and or higher fat saturation. Plus the scents can make a huge difference - I never use synthetics - not good and can make you break out.

[@marilynaddison9247]

Q

[@janelleroads6011]

How often do you buy new hoof trimmers? Or do you have them sharpened?

[@stella9868]

My freind has goats but it's like 30 all in one pen I think he said its three different types boar and nubian are the main ones, they just breed all year and he sells them to local farmers or the amish usually for meat or pets

[@misserin2010]

What is the oil that you start out with. The big container of yellowish oil?

[@VideoSaySo]

We need to get y'all a water gun instead of the spray bottle. Call it "The Dinky Douser" 😂

[@kaleobraun1748]

I always wondered how the dewormer affects the milk when drinking it? Is there a timeframe you should let it go through their system before it’s safe to drink? Just curious 😊

[@ashleyhouse752]

Can you use a small grinder on goats feet like they do with cattle?

[@sewmanyquilts8042]

What collars do you use for the goats?

[@manikie4753]

Aww, my heart aches when I see Maybelline limp. By the way, I don't see Roxy... is she still a part of your herd?

[@trinaogg2550]

I think Crystal said she was sold as a pet like Elsa

[@thefaketdm5283]

💕🥰💕👍❤️💪❤️🤩🙏

[@ehfluffyladybydo4693]

the feeding stations Derick build might not work. seeing it opens one way and how are they to get out if its blocked. will watch video soon..

[@ltshears]

His new video shows how they will get out.

[@sewmanyquilts8042]

How do you clean up after using lye on utensils??

[@suziestrubel1360]

When is Breeding scheduled to begin

[@daneeniemeyer1805]

How long after the wormer before you breed.

[@kansaswaugh5031]

I hope you answer but what diet does your bucks eat do they eat the same you mentioned as your does like alfalfa pellets and boss. Also while a doe is pregnant can I give copper bolus or selenium paste? Also do your does get alfalfa pellets and boss year round? Lastly do your goats bucks and does get alfalfa hay year round?

[@RebekahHartung]

Do you have a soap for dry itchy skin?
