No better way to start my day, cup of coffee and a video of my babies. Now we wait for the babies in late March or early April.

[@marylenoue743]

It's good to see you are using and upgrading all the freebies you can for gates and such. You "make" money farming every time you don't go running to buy something new. Yeah! To recycling!

[@donnajeffery8267]

Apart from healthy mum’s and babies it is going to be interesting to see how many each girl has then colour’s and ratio of how many doelings to bucklings they have and then to how many and from who you are planing to keep so we can follow the journey as it is getting closer it is getting more exciting so thank you for continuing to share there journey as well as yours and your family with us

Wonderful to see you back to posting your videos, can't believe it's already 2022, and soon in March you guys will have your hands full with kidding season! I'm hoping this year you get a bunch of does again & I wonder how the bucks feel after getting separated from the ladies.

[@joep2796]

There must be a video about this already, but can you tell us exactly what you feed the goats, portions, what kind of hay you use, do you use loose minerals and baking soda? Thank you so much. I have learned so much from you and am getting my place ready for goats this year.

[@joep2796]

@@P3RSl4N SOOOO Lucky!!!!!

[@asiaspyro]

From what I can tell and from my own experience they feed alfalfa pellets and sunflower seeds and then also straight alfalfa hay. And then for minerals i think thats just the salt blocks that you see in the pens here and there. Never heard they do baking soda so i wouldnt know on that but people typically just feed it once in a while or offer it free choice

[@joep2796]

@@asiaspyro Thanks!!!! I really appreciate you're taking the time to share this information. I'm so excited to have my own little herd and I really want to do right by the goats so that they thrive. There's so much to learn! Again, thank you. Much appreciated.

[@marychase8105]

We did the free choice baking soda but there is ao much waste if you don't pick it up almost daily. We ran a herd of 50 boer/cross and dairy goats, but moved back to Alaska once horse fences are completed hope to start building housing to keep Nigerians, would be my first time with them and also registered as well just for personal use for starters. We'll see, as we're only on 2.5 acres it would have to be a slow start. We are also looking for more property further out than we are now.

Last September my doe, who is a great-granddaughter of your Obe, gave birth to a black doeling who turned chocolate and now has a silver undercoat. I've never heard of that coloring before and am excited to see what she finally decides to be!

[@melissajarvis4829]

That's cool! I hope they see this. Maybe there's a genetic component at work, here.

[@michellesnively7637]

@@melissajarvis4829 it will be interesting to see if both doelings turn out the same color and to know if any other kids from this line have had this color.

[@Wolfpug]

That is so kool watching you make the soap. Yrs ago I bought glycerin soap, melted it down, poured my scent & sometimes tiny animal toys into a mold. Let them harden a day or so & give as gifts. I love the loving care you put into your soaps. The girls look to be happy browsing & getting back into a routine again. Little Wildy has grown a lot since Derek brought her home. The new upgrades are looking great. So sorry for the loss of Dixie. That’s a lot of does! I counted 29! Looking forward to all your upgrades & new videos!

[@aprilstar3572]

You are so caring with these goats , I pray that you guys continue to be blessed . What an amazing couple dedicated to caring for and looking out for Gods creatures whom he gave us all dominion over . Frugal but knowing just what to do without neglecting any of the goats needs emotionally and physically supporting of them all , ,Supreme goat parents you are .

[@jeannettethorsby7085]

Great to see all the female goats grazing in the open field. Am anxiously waiting to buy the new soaps coming out next month. Can't wait!

[@Lady_Lavandula]

RIP Dixie, she was such a sweet looking girl! 💙 Also, four videos a week? That’s awesome! Don’t get overdo it and get burnout though. 😊 Here’s some ideas- -overview of a year of goat care (how often to hoof trim, copper bolus, give shots, worm, etc.) -more cooking videos! :) -garden updates -if you still have footage from last kidding season -goat obstacle course competition, goat trivia competition -goat hikes?? -goat yoga when you have kids?! 🤣💕 -or “my goat has ____, what do I do?” type of videos -Goat asmr (part 2?) P.S. Bessie and Birdie are some of my faves and I always know who is who. 💛

[@kimnisley2957]

Crystal, could you please do a video where you compare the body types of the does. When I look at May and Roxy, they look so different in type. May is deep and short. Where as, Roxy looks taller and not as deep. She looks well balanced overall. When you’ve shown videos of the goat shows, I’ve tried to follow along to see what the judge is looking for. Thank you for teaching us about the goats. I just spent New Years rewatching the 2020 and 2021 birthing videos. It was a good night.

[@angre6422]

I thought a few of the does may have been Big Sky Montana when they were let out. 😂

[@grandymommy4531]

Really enjoyed watching you make your soap. I have a book on the process but it makes it look complex. For instance, if one wants a specialty soap it says to make a basic recipe, cure it, then make it again with the special ingredients and cure it again. It calls this a "milled" soap. I've had the book for 40 years and have never tried because it looked too complex and dangerous. Love your channel.

Happy to see the girls plumping up. Means we're just ever closer to lots of little baby goats. Also, gotta love that the first thing someone did was fight that big yucca. Couldn't tell who is was though. Oh hey I just noticed something. Elsa looks super white until you look at her ears. She almost has frosted ears so you can see the difference between the white of her ears and the pale gold of her body.

Some are getting big. I think Dreamer will be the first to kid this season again she is looking round

I wonder what the goats here in southeast Indiana would think if they were let out to browse there in Arizona. Everything is so much greener here, I just wonder if they would start browsing all the dry grasses there, or would they just look at me and say “what the heck, where is the grass?”
