HOW TO TEST GOATS FOR CL, CAE & JOHNE'S (DIY) Start to Finish

[@annar6430]

Crystal, you are so precise ,organized and professional in caring for your goats.🧡🖤💚 from Jamaica 🇯🇲 Were we have thousands of goats.

[@HannaFardew]

Early crew here to see some gorgeous goats

[@Mimimort101]

That was probably the most informative blood 🩸 processing/ shipping I’ve ever seen.. 🐐 ❤️ It would help a great many 🐐 goat owners ‼️💜💚🧡💜💚🧡

[@rhmontg1]

Thank you - this was the third video I watched on how to draw blood from your goat for testing, and the only one that gave information about which lab they used, showed how to fill out the paperwork, and demo'd wrapping and packing the vials for shipping. Usually they just show how to shave and find the vein. I feel much more confident now.

[@mindyvanhorn3199]

I always learn so much from your vlogs! Thank you for taking the time to do them for us. We have a small Homestead and your example is helping get ours started🌞

[@cortcasey89]

I have learned so much from your videos. Im expanding my herd and use so much info from here to ensure they are healthy. Thank you so much for being an invaluable resource for new goat collectors lol

[@jenniferdowdell8598]

Thank you!! You explained it so well. The blood draw didn't scare me but I had no clue what I needed to do to send it in and where

[@newdayfarm9463]

You’re such a teacher. Something new to learn.

[@indoorsyren3955]

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been wanting to test, but didn’t know where to begin. You’ve given me the confidence to get started. I have learned so much by watching you.

[@cariannesawyer2279]

Thank you, awesome info! If I can psych myself up to do this myself it will save so much money :)

[@butterflysnme724]

I don't think I will ever need this I for but it is so interesting!! 😊 But you never know, I told my granddaughter if we ev,ER win the lottery we are getting goats, donkeys, chickens and a horse for her! I just love watching you guys. I get so excited when you get blood on the first draw Crystal because I have very small veins and my lab has trouble getting my blood sometimes! 😁

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

I have my fingers crossed you hit the lotto!!

[@alyssaswanson8775]

This is my best friend Olivias favorite KZbin channel and she got me into your channel too. Keep up the great work! I love your goats 🐐

[@RoseRodriguez24]

I’m Olivia 🤟

[@RoseRodriguez24]

And I also love you goats! My favorite is Vader! 🐐

[@laurie8166]

Wow she’s a champ and your boy is so helpful. Ms Crystal you’re doing a great job as a goat mom and a loving mom to your kids

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

Your helper is not quite so little anymore. Crystal you are one careful lady. Thank you.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

I know!! What happened 😭🤮

[@MrsMcbey]

great advice especially for johnies

[@jodyflores601]

You are such a wealth of information and appreciated. I don't own goats but I do send people here to learn from you who do have them. Regardless of me not owning goats I still come to learn and enjoy your videos, thank you! :)

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Thank you for sending people our way!!

[@MelissaRenee8691]

Wow, awesome. Now that I've watched your video I'm confident that I could do this myself! Thank god for you. 🤣

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

🤗

[@melissalangford5219]

Good Morning very informative vlog today plus got to see some pretty 🐐 Have a great day Love you guys❤️❤️❤️

[@tesscoyle7200]

Thank you for all the instructional videos I appreciate how clear and thorough you are.

[@suellenw561]

Well done. My grandfather had a small herd of goats, but I don't remember him doing any testing. This is quite interesting.

[@jasonsingh5293]

Good to know I never new that goat can catch disease interesting loved watching your channel

[@ThePfam04]

Thank you for this! The vet wants $20 for each individual disease test. It makes it very cost prohibitive. I was a registered nurse at one time but it’s been a minute (10+) since I drew blood on a person, let alone an animal. This video eased my nerves lol.

[@supermommm2264]

So helpful!!! I'm just using regular syringes and little goats too. I needed this video! Thank you!

[@karencruz5587]

i love how you explain how to do everything step by step i learn alot when i watch you videos

[@Southernpinesranch]

You are the friggin best. You always cover all of my questions! Thank you again!

[@1jadensmommyable]

I see you linked plastic blood collection tubes instead of glass. I was told that plastic can lead to false positive results. What are your thoughts on this?

[@lizflorence3577]

I love classes at Blue Cactus University! Thanks, Crystal, that was as fascinating as ever 👍🏻🙂

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

😊🤗

[@DebbieFishell]

Thank you for such a thorough explanation.

[@akavery]

Thanks so much! Your videos are so simple and easy to follow. You really break it down well for a newbie like me. Thanks again!

[@chelemichele1524]

Nice walk through with these past few videos from doing to sending.. Have a good day 👏👏👏

[@lindsaymiller5757]

Thank you so much!!!

[@mirjaschlichting6098]

Crystal, do you test for Q-Fever and Brucella as well? Thank you for uploading all these videos! You do an awesome job!

[@gigikinzler7491]

Good morning ☀️🤩

[@OceanSwimmer]

Good job, Crystal! You're a great teacher!

[@jayciekingsley398]

Can you share a new link for the collection tubes? It looks like the current one is broken. Great information! This is going to save me a fortune this spring

[@kimberleyfriesenhahn2515]

This was EXTREMELY helpful. Just what I needed to know. Thanks so much!

[@sunsetheritage]

Our tests go through WADDL too. Great lab with loads of information for any and all questions. Once again, a superb video 👏🐐👏🐐👏🐐

[@rushellealexandra5243]

What is the website link

[@jengreenhill6256]

Once again you rock an informative how to video. Thanks . Have a wonderful day.

[@chrystalsabin4091]

Good information

[@natalyajohnston8387]

You are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!❤

[@kyliehelms3216]

Thank you!

[@luanahaigood3292]

God bless you Crystal. Thank you . I love learning from you

[@janinebell763]

That was very informative . Thanks for that.

[@lesleycooper6523]

Very interesting Crystal x

[@patriciagename691]

How long are the vials good for? You said to be sure they were not out of date, and I have only 2 goats! 100 vials will take a LOOONG time to use up! I was also thinking of getting them tested for parasites. Could you help us with that also? Please? You guys are the best for information! Thank you!!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Usually a couple years. I never use all the viles before they expire.

[@TheFarmhouseMom]

Thank you so much! I am filling out my paperwork now. So helpful.

[@joseelias5278]

Thank you for creating this video, what seemed overwhelming now looks like can be done by myself and my wife. I’m looking at labs now and will be sending in some samples. I’ve had one dairy goat for several years and have never tested.. at all. I recently starting looking to ad another goat to our heard and kept seeing the CAE and CL terminology used a lot, after looking those two up extensively, i landed on your video. I now understand how bad cae cl and Johnes can be for the goats but should we stop drinking milk from our goat until we receive results? Just wondering if consumption is still safe, We are a family of four that consumes our goats milk daily.

[@littletawelan443]

Excellent video thank you xx

[@TheAverydavid]

This was great! So helpful as I will start drawing blood next year!

[@brelsfordfamilyfarm1472]

Would you recommend one delivery service over another right now? I know US mail has been so slow I don't want my samples to be old when they get there.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

I have always used USPS and use priority box. Never had an issue.

[@cynthiamorse6093]

Thank You so much. I am leading so much from you.

[@flowercollector9013]

Omg thank you so much this was what I wanted

[@tabithah2161]

Phenomenal demonstration! Thanks!

[@madzzz1659]

Hey crystal! Can I test my goats any time if the year or do I need to test at a certain time?

[@reachrobotics8893]

Hi Crystal, thank you for the video! The link for the blood collection tubes doesn't seem to be working. I found some but they have clot activator and silicone coating, they are not plain like you said though. So those would not work I'm guessing? Having trouble finding. Thanks again

[@conniekreider6014]

Thank you, Crystal. Very helpful!

[@para-diceranch5648]

Love this video! Thank you for taking the time to share 💕

[@lisacasoli]

Crystal you are so organized,very knowledgeable,and easy to understand you when explain things you do with the goats. It shows great character,business like and of course sometimes goofy hahaha jk how long does it take for all that bloodwork. To come back to you???

[@katieproffit7383]

Very informative, thank you! How soon do you need to ship the samples? If one draws in the evening is that ok or do samples need to be shipped off same day?

[@justme-uw6bz]

I love these educational videos, thank you so much.

[@daniellebraasch4518]

Is it $30 for each goat, or $30 for the whole test/all of your goats?

[@rushellealexandra5243]

Ik I'd like to know as well if it's per goat or per herd

[@fallbrkgrl]

Morning 🔆 all! ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎🐐

[@aricawanezek2978]

Thanks for all the help! Keep it up! ✨

[@OurOneLifeAz]

Amazing video! So helpful! Thank you!!!

[@HomsteadingThePioneerWay]

Thanks girl, love the channel and all you do to help us, your the best

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

🤗

[@snowymountainfarm6608]

Do you ship the blood out the same day that you drawl?

[@olgapeters2868]

How do you send the payment ? Do they send you an invoice later?

[@jaceycartwright184]

Must be something about John's. My husband John can give me gastro at times ;) ;) LOL. Aside from that Thanks for the info you give us.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

😂

[@rainacherienne1010]

I need to do this but I’m alone and don’t have any help :( I’ve also never drawn blood. I’m scared I’d hit incorrect vein (artery).

[@goodingwashington6099]

Thanks for posting such a great video 🙏

[@robertlewullis5502]

This was an awesome teaching video! My only question would be where you get the vials, the collection syringes and needles? Does the vet let you purchase enough of them or do you (me) have to get them elsewhere? Thanks for the video and any answers to my questions.

[@rushellealexandra5243]

Tsc or family farm has syringes and needles for livestock

[@Poko0Chan]

It is hard to do so many goats or it is still easy to manage? And do you have a real maximum for your goats So I mean how many is your max?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

It is still manageable. I don't know I could put a max on the amount of goats but my herd size is good now. Somewhere around 25 does and 5 bucks. So i have more lol

[@somebunnytolove124]

How long does it take to get the results back?

[@tricountyfamilyfarm8993]

Thank you for this needed more info

[@rockytopfarm7165]

Should the tubes be glass or plastic? The link is not working. 💕

[@Dr-AdeelShujat]

Very informative , thanks dear vet ❤️

[@blueapples6215]

Great video as always! ❤️

[@janetmcdonald9340]

That little goat is being spoil good!

[@ksd1626]

very informative.

[@gagecarlson6745]

does that lab do pregnancy blood tests?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

They do, yes.

[@joostersplants367]

Do you do these blood tests every year ?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Every year or every other

[@justtom1820]

Is the testing done because you are showing them, and shipping out of state? Just curious as to the reasons. If my small goat herd is closed do I need to do testing?

[@teelanace9434]

Live this video 💘 😻 the kitty video bombed you lol supercute

[@jessicajrollo]

Very informative!

[@beccagross1525]

I got to do that for our goats never tested them for that our selves we want to do it ourselves nowI should for the test is the 30 dollars per vile or total no matter how many is tested

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

$30 per goat for 3 tests each.

[@beccagross1525]

Ty Chrystal

[@tonayiacd]

What age do you start testing and how often do you test for it

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

All goats over 12 months old get tested when we do. We do it every other year.

[@kjhull4409]

Where do you get those blue cold packs?

[@rushellealexandra5243]

Use all grocery store have them by kitchen utensils or lunchboxes

[@katherinefranklin2586]

or latex free gloves if like me i am allergic

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Or those :)

[@katrinaanon1038]

Some of the links do not work.

[@cynthiadoubleu4119]

Is it just me or does anyone else feel bad for the goats? Well I know its supposed to be fore tests but still. Does it hurt them?

[@janetmcdonald9340]

Our fur babies must be spoiled! It is only right..poor little creatures. Anyone who is good to animals is ok in my book, lol!

[@ramjoshuajoe8543]

First view and first like

[@janetmcdonald9340]

Uugh! darn auto correct! I said she was being soooo good!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol! I knew what you meant! She's spoiled too 😂
