HAPPY GOATS IN THE PASTURE!

I just love your sarcastic humor: "There go.the crazies....for no reason." 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Lol

[@laurenwoodhouse2344]

Watching them interact puts such a smile on my face. Thank you for sharing the herd and your family!!

[@barbarafentress2933]

When the goats are happy, every one is happy. 😊

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Yasss!

[@neweverymorningmercy3491]

There's nothing more that I like to do after supper, on a Tues night, than enjoy a little Blue Cactus Dairy. I love this channel. Happy goats!

[@jeriannroberts1816]

My beautiful site is seeing happy goats and their human family. Nice to see the desert in a fanned cooled room in Washington. I only go south in the early spring and first of summer to rockhound. So nice that you take the heat in stride. Lived on desert for seven straight years and visiting is nice but no more extreme heated days for this gal. Can't wait to see more soap attempts. Blessings and love to all of you.

[@lovescoffee9780]

All of your Goats are beautiful. Love watching them.

[@ArreisMorsCI]

The most awesome sight... browsing goats!!! LOVE IT!!

[@chelemichele1524]

Those are pretty catus flowers... I was going to say the crazies seem to be fitting in better than boom they turn and run😆😆 Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol

[@rosiec1974]

Love Miss. Lodi. I can see her being Herd Queen real soon!

[@_Fizel_]

You practically lose Lodi in that grass. But it's so nice to see all the crazy gals being so chill with the rest of the herd. You know, before they ran off for no reason, again....

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol!

[@deborahjaniak7531]

Such good looking goats you guys!

[@babs3343]

So cute you picking up Lodi.lol.

[@poprocksssss1114]

Gosh, I am SO jealous. You guys must have so much fun with them ! I know y'all don't know me, we've chatted on Facebook before but I've been watching for over a year now, RELIGIOUSLY...I love all your babies and love y'all too !!! Thank you for sharing your life with me !

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

This a repeat comment, but I would so wear a Lodi for president tee-shirt.😁🧡🐐

[@maureenritoridis814]

I’m sure the crazies will come out when they are hungry!! Certainly an appropriate name for them!!! 🐐👍💖

[@aswornell1]

We got some goats at the beginning of the month and they are in their first pasture paddock here! It's so exciting and informative to watch actual pasture rotation happening. Thanks for sharing!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Yay! Happy goating!

[@barbbonam]

I'm behind on watching my video's....I love seeing happy goats too, and Miss Lodi behaving herself!

[@healingsprings11]

Lodis closest to the ground for all those neat treats ! Love watching them graze ! ✌️💖🌾🌽

[@nital8953]

I have miss all my friends. Thanks for posting again. Miss my Lodi.

[@justsomerandomontheinternet]

Those were some beautiful cactus flowers! Well, I started to comment, that's it's good to see the crazies finally grazing with the rest of the herd, but then they, turned around, and started walking back towards their pin. 😂😂😂

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol

[@justsomerandomontheinternet]

@@BlueCactusDairyGoats At least Nova stayed a little bit 😂 I love the name Nova! And she's a beautiful goat!!

[@janellehirsch1122]

The ladies certainly do look happy and healthy! Love the last shot of Dane and what I assume was Emily banging away in the background.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Hahaa! Yes that was Emily!

[@justme-uw6bz]

Yay, always hang out for your videos. It's funny how we just love watching goats eating all day, it's so peaceful.

[@haroldbrowne1708]

Wow. The herd looks great! Nice to see them out pasturing to their hearts content.

The crazies seem to be a little better. At least they came out to graze. Lodi my favorite.

[@cindyboard7816]

Those cactus blooms are beautiful!!!!!! They don't even look real!!!!!! Amazing!!!! Love seeing the girls out grazing!!!!!! Stay safe!!!!!!!

I love seeing Dane just chilling there with the drums in the background 😂

Love me some Lodi. 💗💗 Can't wait to see her have mini-lodis!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Me either!!!!

[@ithulah]

@@BlueCactusDairyGoats I know a while ago you once said that you probably should have sold Lodi when it became obvious she wouldn't breed in her first year, but I'm so glad you kept her, and I'm sure you are too.... now she's stopped escaping lol. She's just Miss Lodi the Personality Queen! I so enjoy watching your channel grow.... I started watching shortly before your move and I just LOVE seeing your vids pop up! I'm currently in hospital here in Australia (not covid, we have very little), so keep those videos coming. We hear pretty dire things about covid in Arizona. My ears always perk up cos of you and Weed 'em. Stay safe & healthy. 💗💗💗

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Aww gurl! Hope you're ok!! The hot spots of COVID are in the big cities and I'm locked in my 10 1/2 acres in the middle of nowhere. Derek wears a mask to get supplies. We're staying safe! Appreciate your concern!! Take care hun!

[@lisa_mcdow]

That view at the furthest point is georgous

[@skylerasher5381]

I don’t think May is skittish she just has an attitude nor you or me can handle 😂😂😂

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol. May is NOT skidish. You are right, just a stinker! Lol

[@bev5513]

Wow they are lovin the new pasture and so funny that the goats knew what you were up to.

[@wendywobbles1]

Goaty woaties 😂😂 Love those cacti

[@hbug13_62]

This video reminds me to be grateful I moved out of AZ back to the Pacific northwest where pastures are GREEN. Seriously though, we hope to be as skilled with goats as you guys one day.

[@kellyquam7558]

What gorgeous land you have!

[@cathykillion5958]

Love the goats. Miss the babies.

[@imogenetavernia4630]

It's taking me awhile but i.I'm slowly learning all the fur babies names. I love all the goats. They all have their own distinct personalities. I had goats when I was a kid. I ended up with an all white little folding that I raised. Every time a car came in the yard she would hop onto the hood and peel into the windshield to see who it was. She didn't car if it was the state police. Every car was inspected by Snowball.

[@212acres3]

Wife and I loves your channel. We have a small channel and small herd and learning a lot from y’all.

[@hamidhabchi9173]

Hello, greetings, I wish you luck and success. ✌️✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍👍❤️❤️

[@debbiebenjamin7911]

‘Only’ 95*?! 😅 Phew! LOL. Very interesting video of your land and what their browse consists of. The ‘crazies’ 😂 So funny. Good to see the girls and you guys!

[@donnajeffery8267]

Good to see happy goat munching away

[@CynthiaSchoenbauer]

By-y-y-e, Lodi! Thanks.

[@deborahbeattie9103]

Looks like most of the herd have worked out the crazies run for no reason, no chance they were following them away from the new browse. Smart goats 🐐🌱 As for big Montana the height of that grass definatley accentuated her curves to the max.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol!!!

[@lindaatkinsthibodeaux7650]

LODI 4 PRESIDENT 2020!!

[@curisitykilledthecatnone7730]

You should get a couple of Lama to help protect the herd when they are on the further pastures. I would be worried about predators

[@hickoryhillinthebigwoods-r759]

Beautiful herd. I am actually impressed that you graze them on that land. Gives me hope in regards to the possibility of moving to northern AZ.

[@nedvv2533]

I waited impatiently for a new video! I can watch your channrl all day! Yesterday I watched some of the old videos and you mentioned a goat called Obbie! So I wondered where I can see her picture?

[@lisacasoli]

Ya I'm curious to what obbie looks like I've been watching all the old ones as well I haven't been on this iPad with u tube I just pressed a button one day and wala have a great night stay safe,cool and healthy

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

There arent very many pictures out there of her but I need to find one and put it on our reference page on the website. She looks a like like May

[@relaxinghobbies3081]

Watching goats pick is the most relaxing thing. You ever think about an irrigation system? Maybe add more nutritional value?

[@mikioni]

Magnificent 🐐

[@melissalangford5219]

What a beautiful area you live in your goats are awesome and so well taken care of. Do any of your neighbors have cattle or horses? Your cactus flowers are gorgeous 💐💐💐Crystal you look really good in red you should wear it more often ❤️

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

The back wash has free ranch cattle and they have a lot of land they roam. We see them out there frequently. Many neighbors have horses too :)

[@kathryng782]

Hey! I love your videos! I just have a quick question. The young goats that you have, when will you give them copper bolus? I have three weathers that are about the same age as yours and I am unsure when to give them copper bolus. Also just wanted to say that you and a couple other channels inspired me to get goats:). I’ve started out small with the three weathers that I mentioned earlier in this comment. Once I get more experience maybe I’ll get a couple does and breed them. Your videos are AMAZING!!!!!

[@poprocksssss1114]

I'm not sure about the babies , I can't recall, but the adults just recently got it when she shaved them.

[@kathryng782]

poprocksssss1114 Yeah I remember that.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

That's so cool you got goats! I always give the first copper at 6 months old. There is a smaller bolus capsule for kids

[@TheNumber1Terry]

I'm not sure if you are using the wrong term or if you're unaware. A wether is a male that has been castrated so they cannot breed. Either you have bucklings that can breed or you have wethers than can be pets or food for the freezer. For your sake, with your future interests in breeding, I hope you have bucklings. ❤

[@kathryng782]

Blue Cactus Dairy Goats Thank you so much for your help!

[@19queenbee55]

I had to laugh when you said it cooled down to 95! In western NC mountains... hot 80s here!

Another one says oh come on there's ALL this to roam yea👍🎉🎉🎉 so far so good. Great information on the fence. Ahhh pretty cactus flower!!! Love the colors. Oooh get ready get set go!!!Aww I thought Lodi would be the first!!! So adorable. I like how they find the fairydusters then want to go back lol why do they call it fairy duster????

Maybe they were just getting ready to love you later on when they got back to there homes? pens? They love you,you love them unconditionally that's what counts!!! How how has it ever gotten there where you live? When I heard you say it's nice it's 95 I was like what???? It has been that way here in Middleboro massachusettes!! THAT and unbearably humid the last few days "ugh"!!!

Happy girls awesome way to keep ur paddocks I do the same with my horses if gives them paddocks a chance to grow back spellin them off land if u can is a far better way to do it :)

[@meowhehe00]

💕💕

[@saltywench]

Only 95... *passes out* Do your neighbors help replace the fencing their cows spill over and tear down? That is a huge space for them to graze! I hope you guys are in for more rain. My grandmother lived in the high desert and there was no dirt there per se, it was all sand sand as far as the eye could see. Hot gravely sand. I wouldnt think it would hold much water even if it got any. Will the soil out in the field support a couple shade trees if you put them in? Grandma backyard supported a couple turtles, LOL

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

No neighbor assistance lol. We have sandy areas but it's nothing like you explain your grandmas land was. We can grow things here.

[@Grimmarox]

The ladies look happy! Do you have to add any vitamins or anything because of your area? I watch another goat farm and he has to add copper 2x year because his dirt doesn't have it. Love watching your channel. Nice set up.

[@GenuinelyJodi]

That cactus flower was incredible! What beautiful vistas. How many acres do you have? Where did you live before this?

[@MsJazzyRay]

When the babies are put back in the main group, like Lodi and Abilene, do they or the moms recognize each other? Or have they just been apart for too long?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

They don't. Separating as early as we do plays a big factor in that. The only goat I have ever seen show slight affection (aka didnt head butt and bully their kid) was Lillie with her daughter Lodi. Lillie is still sweet to her.

[@MsJazzyRay]

@@BlueCactusDairyGoats Ah. Always wondered if they can smell it on them or something.

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

If I had to remember the names of 32 goats, it would be a fail. Do those numbers include the weathers?

[@jeriannroberts1816]

Do you ever plant seeds for Baha fairy weed? The flowers are so pretty.

[@haroldmcbroom7807]

Beautiful animals :) Few questions, if I may, what turns the grass brown in those area's where the goats eat, and , green in other area's? Will the goats eat all the brown grass, or only the green that they find? Do they get any other types of food to eat, and what do you use them for?

[@shadyacrehomestead4737]

"Only 95°" 😅😅

[@brandeissports3436]

👍

[@kimbear1345]

this may be a stupid question but wondering what kind of grass is that? I see it start to green up but still brown. Love all your videos.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

There are several varieties of native grasses out there and different brush as well.

[@wally2786]

When you put the doelings in with the Does, do they recognize their moms or vice versa their babies???

[@Calla-sl8gd]

Hi Crystal! Good video as always. Question: what about the boys? Do they get to go grazing? Also, how is the soap making going? Thanks again for the video!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Hey there!! The boys don't get to graze unless they are in breeding season and with the ladies. We let the groups take turns. They are too rambunctious and one track minded. The zap is worth breaking through to get to the ladies. So it doesn't work for them. We do cut some grass and feed to them though. Soap is going good! I think I found the perfect soap!

[@beverlyallen5308]

They like this so much what is that bird? Pretty sounding you can’t see them from the house?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

There are so many birds here right now! Hard to say :)

[@Open2OpenUT]

Do you have to stay with them whilst they graze or do you send your big white dog out to guard them for you? 😀🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️☘️

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

We don't have to stay with them. They are protected by our parole squad!

[@deborahbeattie9103]

With separate fences do you need extra solar panels or do you put an electrical connection across?

[@howardcarver1415]

Really enjoy your channel. I've been bitten by the goat bug me thinks, ha! One observation though: the tendency to categorize the newer goats as 'the crazies' vs the rest of the herd. Don't be so hard on them. In time they will come around. Could be your established does play a hard game in wishing to dominate the newbies. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing your goat knowledge. They are beautiful creatures!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Haha! Those crazies get LOTS of love and attention!

[@patriciaelliott8218]

Have you guys ever considered turning over your fields and planting grass

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Nope, never. We bought this place because of the natural, undisturbed, native, drought tolerant, grasses, trees, and shrubs. - Derek

[@smwon1]

How do you deter snakes? Or are they not a problem where you live?

[@debbiebenjamin7911]

Curious ..... do you find many snakes or other creatures out there in the pasture?

[@cornerstone403]

Love me some Blue Cactus Dairy Goats. Crystal, red looks so pretty on you. I sure would love to look like you do in clothes. Just a tee and jeans and you look like your ready to go anywhere. Me in tee and jeans? Not so much. At my lofty old age, I never look ready to go out.

[@lindamarquis6117]

Do you ever seed with Timothy or other grasses for the animals ?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

We don't seed anything. Full of native grasses and brush for them as is.
