poor Derrick 😂 I could hear his heavy breathing over Lodis dramatic screaming😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@mefford67]

*That buckling is a keeper!* *Loki, cause he created mischief on his very first day of life!* 😍

[@cynthiamangosingkilic822]

WHAT a PERFECT name for him!!

[@renbee00]

I second that!!

[@lenegelbe-hauen9009]

That would be a beautiful name 😍

[@mccarthyfarmsqld]

That’s what I was thinking!

[@kimhaveman3628]

Perfect!

[@hermithag]

We could hear the concern in Derek's voice. He's telling her to catch her breath when he was hyperventilating.

That’s it Crystal, Derek has to do all the shopping during kidding season😂

[@BroqueCowgirlHomestead]

Agree lol

Good job dad. Love it when you just said "hi" to the baby.

[@kyliepechler]

That made me smile ear to ear when Derek did that. He did so well with the birth.

[@grandymommy4531]

Of course when Derek is on his own with a delivery it's a hard one! He pulled through and saved the day! And what a perfectly balance coat pattern this "little" guy has.

[@judithruf-duty6259]

Derek was scared 😱 You'd think after all the videos, he wouldn't have stressed. Poor Derek.

[@mariosgnd]

I’m so sorry for Derek because his first experience was with a bad positioned baby AND with THE dramaQueen, Lodi 😂 I’m so happy everything went well !! Even though Lodi is so small, she has an amazing udder and a wide back side !! Amazing 🤩🥳 I’m happy Crystal returned safe back home 😍 love y’all always! Xoxo, Marios from Greece 🇬🇷💙

Derek was a rock star ! What a way to jump into action. Lodi’s baby is beautiful. So glad this went the way it did. Good save 😅

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Thank you so much for posting these and showing all the ways these kids can try to enter the world! If it were not for your videos and knowledge (you and Sandi Brock are priceless to me), I never would have had the confidence to do this! My fridge is full of milk and my pasture is full of bouncing babies because of you guys!

"Locked and Loaded" is LARGE and IN CHARGE, lol Something in the water this year seems to be producing BIG babies! Congrats on the save, dad!!!!

[@jessies3236]

The size difference between these two will be fun to watch them navigate. He is a beautiful big boy. He looked tiny to me till he stood up! Glad it went so well. Was a little scary at first.

[@highfive9835]

That moment when his little head popped out and you went, "Hi! Hi." You had me grinning like a fool. Good job, my man. That must have been scary.

He's beautiful and I hope someone snags him for a herd sire! Bravo to the hero of the moment! Probably the scariest thing you've done and you rocked it.!

Great work Derek!! I can totally associate with that breathless, near panic feeling!! Even after many years of raising goats, I still have a couple minutes of that "what if" fear at every birth!! God bless!

I felt sorry for Derek he was a little out of sorts but he done a good job, that baby boy is so cute 🥰

Well, Derek, you did what was needed --- like a boss! And you hyperventilate just like Crystal after a quick, scary birth. Pat yourself on the back and accept my congratulations!

[@debrarevel]

You did amazing Derek and delivered the most beautiful buckling. Way to go!

[@mollierolin5389]

Fun fact the first birth ever at our farm was attended by my husband only and me via FaceTime 😂 I was in a elevator with a complete stranger who probably thought I was insane. But they came out fine and he really didn’t have to do anything.

[@charsnyderswimschool8009]

Beautiful baby,great coach. Happy beginning!

[@carolsmith6383]

Congrats everyone, he is one big buckling! And he's a beauty. That black spot on top of his head, extending to black spots over both ears, looks like headphones. I would name him DJ.

Great job Derick! This guy is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!! Y’all should keep him not only coz he’s Dericks first delivery, but his coloring and markings are SO stricking!! If you keep him, I’d name him “Little Dude” seems to fit him! 🥰👍💕😉🥳

[@Patricia808OGG]

Derek was a Rock Star assisting with the delivery - as nerve wrecking as it was, it’s clear he’s paid attention during the numerous deliveries he’s seen you oversee. Derek deserves high praise! I find it I get emotional watching the delivery struggles - and Derek was fully engaged with doing what needed to be done which led to a glorious outcome. It’s marvelous to see how genuinely invested you all are with the needs of your flock - everything from health and safety - to providing an enriched environment the flock can thrive in - It’s so lovely. Watching the kids play, or the flock running behind you as they head to browse, never fails to brighten my mood - so Thankyouthankyouthankyou for ALL you do!
