Hey Goat Lovers!! Hope you are all as excited for breeding day as the bucks are. They have been fighting non stop. Make sure you are subscribed because you don't want to miss the next video!

[@BroqueCowgirlHomestead]

2 of my 3 does are bred, In the last week. Waiting on the third one to come in. Then my little doe I retained from January thinks she should get to go visit the back too. (Nope too young still) haha

[@gytisplayss6417]

Can't wait

[@erinturner6219]

I absolutely LOVE your videos and how much info you share!! For 5+ years the dream to own my own goats has been growing ever stronger and when it becomes a reality it will be in large part thanks to YOU that I’ll have the knowledge I need to care for them!! You and Danelle are my two OG goats gals as it was the two of you I watched first since I started watching goat/farm channels!! So thank you SO SO much for doing what you do! I know it’s such hard work as it is let alone filming and explaining it all! You have my utmost thanks and respect! P.S. So sorry about Lacy and Maybelline!! You gave them the BEST life so well done!💝

[@aussiegardener1773]

Breeding means babies, so I am really excited

[@sharonlatta7752]

Wish I could say I'm patiently waiting for breeding but I lost my patience as soon as the last baby dropped so I am sooooo ready!!! Let's get it on!!!!

[@robynbryant4274]

Hi Everyone I'm back after a long sad 2 years of losing my Dad, I've Missed these Awesome Goats and the Family.

[@awesometaylor5881]

I love your channel and all the love and compassion you show to all your babies and all goats. A+ care.

[@dianagallagher3891]

Hi Crystal it's so nice to see your smile. Your last video broke my heart and I was tearing up myself. I had a pekingese she was only 6 weeks old when I got her she was the fattest puppy from the litter and I would tell people she was my first born. She was with me threw my miscarriages and then when I had my children she helped me threw the passing of my mom and dad. She would lay on my feet when I washed dishes and stayed in the bathroom when I was in the shower and if I was sitting down she would always be on my lap. My kids would try to hold her and she would growl at them and it would scare the kids but when my daughter decided the growl was nothing to be afraid of she would pick up the dog and put her on the bed and from that point they were best friends.. but one day I noticed that my dog wasn't breathing right now she was 15 yrs old and I had to wait until my son got home so I could run the dog to her vet. My twins were home and my sons bus was running behind but my dog passed away in my arms. I cried and cried my twins were crying but my son Logan he is one of my twins said mommy I will take care of you..then my son Shawn came home and we all held her and said our good buys. I cried for weeks. I would wash dishes and cry I would be in the shower and cry so when I saw your last vlog it hit me and my heart breaks for people when they lose there pets they are our life our babies so I hope you and your family are getting threw it OK 🐐🧡

[@donnalayne2395]

I cried with Crystal in the last video too but now I am crying with you as I read your post. I am sorry for your loss and I agree with you our pets are our babies too!

[@awesometaylor5881]

ALL OF YOUR GOATS ARE SOOO VERY Beautiful.

[@kimberleyfriesenhahn2515]

Aw, Everest was my favorite! I'll miss seeing him. I'm sure whoever got him is super excited to add him to their herd.

[@jodymerkel4940]

Omgoodness I remember when Lucky as a baby ❤he’s gorgeous

[@Karolina.L]

Amazing

[@petgranny194]

The soap photos were gorgeous! I love giving your soaps as Christmas gifts and have already placed my order. love seeing your handsome boys.

[@leannnoneya3235]

I missed seeing Everest. He was a pretty boy

[@jade4341]

It was good to see the bucks again! We don't see much of them. I can't believe it's been almost three years since Legend was born. I Enjoyed seeing the girls go out browsing at the end as always. Thank you for the update. ❤🐐

[@tinyfemaleshooter8756]

Aweeee. That’s sad. Poor luck buck.

[@jenng2454]

I cannot get over how big both Legend and Vader have gotten! Legend is HUGE and all that fluff

[@Zinnias2go]

Right before you said Luck buck had a injury, I watching him hold his leg up, I thought something isn’t right. So I am glad you mentioned it. Hope he recovers & it’s not arthritis. Silly boy, I am glad he’s still around ❤

[@Jerseylady]

I was thinking of you recently, very glad to see your channel. I hope all is well.

[@bels3873]

Oh, Lucky. I hope his leg heals soon, he's such a solid buck. It's not an easy life for those boys.

[@heavenly-dreamsdairygoats]

Hey there Crystal you always have some lovely Nigerian bucks. Let say hope all goes well with breeding and kidding season. Our season will start with our 1st doe due 2/5/23 and then 4 more after that. We will be ultersounding everyone today. That will go out in a few days. Good luck again. Till next time God Bless.

[@stacycamacho59]

Lucky is like momma, i want to stay with you!!! I don't wanna go back in there with them. 😁😁

[@shargomol3572]

It's so nice to see the boys. It has been awhile for sure. So Champ has pushed the Luck buck off his pedestal. They are looking great. Hope Lucky feels better. Lodi and Lodi crack me up. Like mother like daughter 🤣 Love is definitely in the air. Have a great week 🐐 fam ❤️❤️

[@robynmize4713]

Btw...Vader was not bearing weight on his front right leg as well.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

I'm aware. He is ok

[@GrowWhereYouArePlanted]

Wow, Legend is stout.

[@jeaniLovesAnimals]

I loved the plug for your soap..😁 The boys are looking real good.. BOY DO THEY STINK 🐐 & YES LEMON SOAP WILL WORK.. 🛁...🌟 ❤️

[@Kaobion]

Haha seeing the Lodi and Lidi standoff was pretty cute 😁 And it seemed like Vader was a little sore on his right front foot, just feisty those boys 😂

[@glendaadams730]

Such pretty bucks. Been missing your husband hope he is doing good.

[@Sarahbetterlatethannever]

Hello from Texas! Love your videos! Love how y’all take the time to explain everything about your goats and how to care for them. Worked in veterinary medicine but with birds, reptiles and other small animal. I’ve learned a lot from your channel🙏🏼❤️

[@KimandFrank]

Awesome Crystal ❣ Your herd is gorgeous 💝 Just watching the girls go to pasture was like a beauty Padgett 🐐🐐🐐🐐 Thanx so much for Buck time today. 🙌 The guys are looking great and ready to go as usual 💯 Hey Emily luv ur side comments LOL

[@tammycampbell2491]

Yay! The boys! They look awesome! I miss seeing them. They will be happy boys here soon, lol. Thank you for sharing your beautiful days with us. Much love from Texas!

[@mcprillaman]

Loved seeing the boys....legend is a fuzzy dude....but the highlight, as always, is seeing Lodi and Lidi playing who's the biggest "B" on the block....absolutely love those girls.

[@sheilahauser7564]

Why is that are hanging his front leg? Did he hurt himself

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

The boys have been fighting a lot. He is ok

[@heatherolan7926]

Omg finally I get to see the one and only luck buck. I am sad to see he has lost first place tho. He is so cute and very funny. Happy to see all the boys. I will miss the two that have left. Yahoooo breeding time.

[@susanmathis7561]

Very Nice Bucks!! When you are talking genetics that's awesome and Special for Meany Resons!! More should understand Quality is in the genetics..Love this Video 💞

[@jamesjessee4064]

💙👍

[@nitapachulski9758]

All them boys are so cute 🥰🥰

[@jessling4388]

Wow Legend has gotten big!!! He looks bigger than Lucky and Vader even!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

He's a beast!

[@anacrespo9726]

I love Vader He has the most BEAUTIFUL coloered print. BLESSINGS FROM PUERTO RICO. ❤

[@SweetLike]

Everest will be missed - I love him! Legend is such an absolute legend for real.

[@donnalayne2395]

I can’t believe how big the boys have gotten! No one takes better care of their animals than you. You guy’s are awesome 💙💙💙💙

[@carolbryant7230]

Hello from KY good to see you back, I have been watching your videos every night catching up loving all of them, and I love your soap here it's getting winter with dry skin and your soap is great ,thanks again and God bless.

[@greenloomgoats9055]

Oh I am eagerly waiting to see them

[@glendastanton2443]

I love the sounds bucks make! They’re all looking good…and eager to breed.Legend is a legend!

[@donnapeitz8737]

He's handsome nice I showed dog's I like him

[@jbloom1981]

Holy crap Legend is massive all of a sudden. I don't know all of the decisions that had to have gone into the big downsize but I so miss Everest, he was seriously gorgeous.

[@mrswray]

😂 I had to rewind it and look again.. legend definitely peed on your foot 😮 I really hope I can find a buck locally that I can just buy his services bc idk if I can handle all that stink lol!

[@viviangrantz2572]

Hope Lucky can get his business done quick so that he can rest his leg before has to go back in with the other bucks. Lodi and Lidi are too much fighting with each other. Now we wait for which doe goes with which buck, 2 months of breeding, 5 months waiting for kids. I’m excited to see the utters on this year first time fresheners.

[@ArreisMorsCI]

Vader was holding his right leg up. I was noticing it, and then you mentioned it with Lucky. Then the two spitfires couldn't stop fighting long enough to go pasture in peace, lol. I absolutely LOVE your channel!!! C'mon breeding!!!!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

They've been fighting a lot. He is ok

[@JK-ut5cs]

Legend is georgeous 😍

[@potatoesbelikesquared5819]

I love the videos. Always the highlight of my day to receive them. Your all awesome and thank you for sharing such wonderful little darlings with us all.

[@plushiespoochesandgpigs1805]

those two young boys have grown and filled out lodi and lidi having a mum and daughter scrap prehaps about lidi,s curfew

[@TheWolverine-ff2rs]

I love all the personalities of the goats - bucks or does.

[@cindyboard7816]

We❤🔵🌵🍶🐐s!!!!

[@susanfrey7065]

God bless you from Michigan ❤️

[@raisaallison5531]

Poor Lucky's leg, he must be in a lot of pain.

[@jamesjessee4064]

💜👐👶👍

[@MaryABaker-rd3mm]

You have a great looking herd! I really enjoy watching how you and your family interact with them. You can just tell how much you all care for each and every one of them! The babies are my best time to watch but I love every video. Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤

[@lindadickson783]

Hello Crystal, Thank you for introducing the boys. Can’t wait for breeding season to start. I had to quit patreon be cause groceries and gas have gotten so expensive. I’m still a subscriber and support your family and the goats. Love you all God bless.

[@cassandracleveland]

I enjoyed your commercial plugged in there 😁. Such pretty boys! Seeing them interact with you reminds me why I love my two bucks so much. They’re so affectionate and goofy. My wether is my lap goat. He’s the sweetest. 😁

[@drsohailqaiser630]

So beautiful farming and your goat

[@Its_Meg12]

You’re actually the only KZbinr I know who keeps their bucks together. Everyone else has their bucks separated in their own pens

[@marjgray3053]

I'm not a KZbinr but my 200 lb Nubian bucks live happily together except for the couple of months they are with their ladies. Most very happy together.. maybe a disagreement once in a while.. but no big fights.

[@OceanSwimmer]

There was a Boer goat breeder on KZbin (he sold his herd & now breeds miniature cattle). who kept his bucks together as well --- they were quite calm. He did wait until the bucklings were bigger to allow them into the pen with other herd sires. Everyone seemed to get along very well -- I suppose it depends upon the breed(?) But who knows. Crystal, the entire herd looks great! Best of luck this year for the birth of many, many, doelings! 💕

[@kimmathis694]

I wish there was a love button we could press cause I love ur channel and all of you and the goats!🐐

[@angre6422]

Yea The Boys! 🥰 Lodi and Lidi what a fight…

[@montyboy9809]

Nice to see the bucks!

[@GenuinelyJodi]

So excited for babies!! Always the best part of the year’

[@tonyaboyd2856]

So glad for you. I can't hardly wait for spring.

[@grandmama05]

So glad to see you again. I hope you are feeling better abit.

[@myrisiafranklin8067]

I am excited to see all babies

[@myrisiafranklin8067]

By the way...ima say blue cactus ..you are the cleaniest n concern to all goats you have 👍🤝🏽🥰

[@carmenHernandez-jg1kk]

Hello Crystal glad to see you. I'm so happy to see the bucks I really miss them. I can't wait for breeding season!!! 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐❤

[@tinymeower]

I'm watching you rub on them going eeeewwew hahahaha. My poor boys get no love from me without gloves for about 4 months during rut

[@carolwalker3429]

Have you ever thought about putting game cams in the breeding pens to calculate due dates ?

[@sharonyoung8251]

Just wanted to let you know I LOVE your soaps. Have tried others but yours are my favorite. No or very little Scent (I have many allergies). Perfect size and hardness (doesn’t dissolve in the soap dish)

[@daemonember]

I was surprised to see Lucky. I remember him not being on the list of goats staying in the herd when you downsized.

[@SabbathAcresRanch]

Good morning from Montana! Love the update, and can't wait for breeding time, I always watch you guy''s kidding videos while I'm waiting on one of my own goats, it passes the time wonderfully!

[@trinaogg2550]

Hi Crystal I am excited for breeding season and can’t wait to see who you breed to who. It is funny to see Lodi and Lidi trying to put each other in there place. Two stubborn mother and daughter.. curious to what both were thinking. Mom mad at daughter or daughter was mad at mom.

[@windiashe126]

If I really think about it I’ve been following you guys for Five years 😳 lmao I’ve taken to telling the time of year by you guys and weed em and reap! I didn’t realize how fast a year goes when you go by the breeding, birthing and resting cycles of the goats. It still feels like yesterday that I found you guys and I’ve learned so much from both of your farms I can’t thank you enough Crystal!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sissy8563]

I remember when Vader was born lol He's always been one of my favorites because of his lil Elvis Hair lol All of y'all's goats are beautiful & handsome lol Hope you and the family are in better spirits after losing two of your babies. The advertisement of your soaps is sure pretty..

[@chiplover3240]

Nice to see the lineup , excited to see the next video, the bucks staking there claim. It snowing in Redmond, oregon!😄

[@shorebillyhomestead8436]

OMG, I can just smell them! 🤣🤣 How in the world are you even breathing and talking! It's nice seeing them.

[@caren3426]

Does vador has a bad right front leg 🤔 he doesn’t put all his weight on it when he stands.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

The boys have been fighting a lot. He is ok

[@grandmama05]

Your bucks are gorgeous!

[@katemcpherson3492]

Is there any way to get an update on Merle and Everest? I miss them!

[@EdetaKudou]

Im so ready for the breeding season!!!

[@jesseelisabeatty8205]

" GET OFFF MAH FENCE" lol love luck buck

[@kylebarron4993]

Was that Lodi and Lidi fighting at the end? 😆 Mother daughter drama lol jk

[@plushiespoochesandgpigs1805]

just watching again as i like watching what goes on in the back ground. you may already know this but vader seems to be favoring a front leg or is he just leaning on you

[@morthanalittle]

Thank you Crystal. That was a fun review of your handsome, bald stinky boys /men. Looking forward to kidding season again this year. Never miss your videos. Love to all of you. ♥️ Kelly

[@janetveres3316]

I love hearing the weird noises the bucks make but I imagine it could get a bit much if you have to listen to it all day.

[@deborahcornwell1840]

Have been waiting for this 😁. So interested in seeing who you put together 🥰. Did like Merl...

[@susyarabe8794]

🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💙🤍💙😘🙏👏

[@barbaratingle1959]

Would love to see the boys & how you get them ready for breeding.

[@reggiesikes4548]

I’m almost done with our breeding, just waiting on three more too come into heat and get bred. and I hope too be doing the milk test that y’all were doing this year for my herd I’m excited for that.

[@sharonlatta7752]

Awesome bucks and I can't wait for the babies!!!! FYI, I also watch some lamb breeders and they spray non-toxic full moon spots on the does butts. Once they've been mounted, the paint smears and you can tell they've been bred. Just thought I would throw that out there and see if that would make it easier to see when Champ "does the deed", as you say lol. Best of luck!!

[@addiemay5574]

Omg yes, I watch Sandi Brock and she does that. For champ's doe's it would be interesting to see even if Crystal only did it the one season for the heck of it

[@sherreeroper7656]

Oh Crystal, do you make goats milk laundry soap? Lol,Legion is really loving on you.. maybe they should've been bathed first.

[@technutz]

Love Lodi, such a stinker!

[@kimnisley2957]

Wildee and Lucky would be a great match in my opinion. I’m trying to figure out how I would match up the breeding pairs. Then I can compare to how you match them up. I’m used to rabbits and breeding for a better rabbit. We don’t have dairy issues to figure in though. This channel has been covering all the issues you deal with as a goat dairy and show stock. Have learned so much from you all. There are so many differences in climate too. I’m a bit north of Darricks family. We get tons of rain, wind and snow. If I had goats I’d have to have a barn for my milk parlor. Darrick did a fabulous job on your parlor. Have a great weekend.

[@joycehazlerig1957]

What are you washing your clothes in to get rid of the buck smell!

[@paisleyjane9606]

The boys have certainly got their work cut out for them! I had thought you might be introducing some new blood this year because so many of the does are related to Lucky and Legend. Next year? It's got to be tough business bringing a n a new buck!

[@rhondajhunter9091]

I still miss some of the goats you sold, because of their personalities. Elsa (I'm the Queen, bow now!) Roxie with her sweet face. And I have a feeling you'd like to have at least a couple of the doelings you've sold through the years when you see how they have developed since then. I would love to have had goats, but ended up with herds of cats. lol!
