It's Kinda Sad...

[@fountainofjewelz1844]

Ugh seeing Dinky & Lodi go teared me up, they were my all time favs. I understand why they had to go but still hard. I will miss them greatly. Can't wait to see the babies that new buck is going to produce!! I hope you get him for this breeding season. Absolutely love your soap it's the best! L❤️ve you all! 💙🐐🩵

Dinky sure turned out to be a beautiful goat. She will be missed!!

[@diannajepson8708]

It's especially sad to see Dinky go.😭🐐💖

[@donnalayne2395]

I feel the same way I remember when she almost died and Crystal brought her back to life❤

[@diannajepson8708]

@@donnalayne2395 yeah, that was a rough one to watch, but such a miracle.

[@sharonyoung8251]

I hate to see Dinky go. She is adorable. Actually, he is the only one I can recognize on site from the patch on her back.

[@judithdowell3164]

Dinky will always have a special place in my heart ♥️. She will be missed!

[@lindap9342]

I will miss seeing Dinky and Leia. I think Miss Personality, Lodi, is the hardest remembering all her antics through the years. Hard to believe we are getting closer to breeding time. Will the little girls be joining the herd soon.

[@constancebunn194]

I am super impressed with your professionalism in your soap making!! ❤ From the cleanliness of your “tools” to the extra care/steps you take with the finished product!! Yes, it takes extra time, but that’s what separates you from all the rest!! ❤ (I still want a collection of your soap making videos, start to finish, even the photo shoots!! Great weekend binge watching!!)

[@dhawk766]

I felt for you Crystal, knowing it would be so hard on you watching the footage of Dinky and Leia leaving. It seemed like they knew they were not going back home. Ugh! That got me 😢 Those tricky goats always stealing our hearts. 💙

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

It was rough!

[@sevenwatson5854]

All the people are nice that you're delivering to but I'm so glad that the guys Lodi, Leia etc are going to seem extra nice. Lodi is my favourite and I'll miss her so much. I always think of the Waltons when I think of Virginia, but now I'll think of Lodi! Nice that she's got some of her old herd still also. ❤

[@jrsf222]

This channel majors in instructions on how to build and care for champions. Meticulous attention to details and award winners with soaps and goats. I’m proud to be a visitor‼️ Also best parenting of your own family and all the goats‼️‼️

[@jenniferjeanalmquist6897]

So long Lodi and Leia!! We’re gonna miss you! 😢We’d love to get updates from their new home!! Hugs to your fam, I’m sure it was hard letting go of them. ❤

[@janetpatterson4584]

Crystal , I really appreciate all the hard work and attention to every detail you put in to creating a top notch product, You are very blessed to have the family's love ,support and dedication too , You and Derek are amazing parental team, raising great children .

Imagine being a goat going from grazing in the Arizona desert to grazing Kentucky and Virginia pastures.

[@sheribristol2826]

Aww Dinky and Miss Lodi 😢 I sure will miss you two. I can't imagine how hard the decision to let a senior doe must be.

[@SB8-8]

Lodi.....😥 She has always been my favorite, with her lil spicy self❤ Making cutting choices sucks... ❤ Have watched you since the beginning and you guys STILL ROCK!!!! Awesome hauling Derek & Deren!!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

🤗

[@thelittlethingskate9567]

Oh dang, this one made me cry 😭 It hurts your heart to let go of the ones you love.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Yes it does!

[@kestrelle5345]

Crystal, your attention to detail with your beautiful soap is magnificent!

[@Lastraya]

Unbelievable how much I already miss Lodi.. so I can't even imagine how it must feel for you lot to let go of the seniors 😔

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

It's not easy!

[@sharonloomis5264]

Dinky looked like she didn't want to get out of the trailer. Like she knew "If I do, won't be back. None of the others came back." So sad to see them go.

[@minkaf4243]

Totally agree. Very sad, but it is what it is.

[@debbiecozortakalonghornmom1862]

Soooo Sad to see the older Doe’s leave Arizona 😢but they look like they r going to good homes with some great people in all around United States 🇺🇸. Really was surprised to see the two older ones with four babies go to one home in Virginia I believe it was, those guys have spent some good money for all those goats. Lol Be careful Derek and Darren on the rest of the deliveries and coming back home. Lovely scenery as always. Take care, Debbie from Texas 😊👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🐐🐐🐐😊🤠🤠😎😎

[@tinyfemaleshooter8756]

😢😢😢Dinky is so beautiful…I will miss her and her story

[@deborahratcliff8179]

I really enjoy watching when you make the soap. And can almost smell it when you cut your bars.

[@Grimmarox]

That was so sad. Dinky you will meet some new hoomans and other creatures. Will miss you ❤️

[@dianahershfang6146]

Wow, all those miles and all the beautiful sites of your delivery of the goats. Kudos to you Derek and Darren. 2 more to go and a job well done.

[@monicawilder9411]

Oh goodness! 😢😊 I know I've felt bittersweet to see your senior goats go to new homes, so I can only imagine what y'all have been through emotionally! And I totally understand why😊! Well, Crystal, another wonderful, informative video of your soap making process! You are very meticulous in your process, and it shows by the finished product that I get to enjoy! I so enjoyed the 'boys' trip through some of the eastern states. I actually live at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, north of Roanoke. Beautiful scenery shown by Derrick! Y'all stay safe! Love and hugs ❤!

[@mystiarnold6405]

Don’t know if you noticed, but when you were milky, the does. We’re doing the wave with their wagging tails. Too cute.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol

[@jodymerkel4940]

Omgoodness I bawled when Lodi left to her new home 😢I remember so many little things Lodi would get herself into 😢I’ve been watching the early beginning of the channel! Lots of new things changing this last few yrs but gotta say Lodi has always been one of my favourites!!❤

[@kayeprice6407]

Love love love your soaps!!! Purchased a couple of times and absolutely are the BEST!!!!

[@lesliehales2303]

I was so sad for Derek when he had to let Dinky and Lodi go, you really felt that it was hard for him. I know it has been hard on all the family especially Crystal but watching Derek hand them over was hard for me so it must have been terrible for him. Thinking of you all and I know it's what's best for you all going forward just somethings just sick. I love watching 👀 your family and you can't help but have feelings for you all and all the animals . Thank you for sharing ❤

[@judithruf-duty6259]

The other goaties are thinking NO NOT LODI, We heard stories about you and your RBF, and the land shark 😅😂 Sad to see them go. He bought some great bloodlines!!😊😊

[@robinbarnett1706]

i got my order, so fast and I am so excited. I got the oatmeal one for my grandson, since he is turning 13 and has skin that gets welt, and red marks and all sorts of thing, rashes, he has since he was born. I am hoping it will help his skin, now that he is a teen, (in a month) and I got the lemon peel one for me because I love citrus. and I got the lavender and clay one for my other grandson, just cuz it looked so nice. and Guess what??? I GOT A PRESENT WITH THE DELIVERY, three slices of soaps, so pretty and smelling so good, so I can put thosee at different areas of the house, as I sometimes use the soap for room fresheners in between uses, I tell you I love Blue Cacctus soaps, and knowing Crystal made it so carefully and with such perfection makes it well worth and so nice. I trust her techniques . thanks for the slices of soap, I will get a few of those bars around christmas for presents for my friends.

Awww Dinky broke my heart I’m in tears she didn’t want to go!! That was so sad!!

[@awesometaylor5881]

❤🎉Blessings and Blessings and Blessings to you Crystal and your family and babies. Beautiful 💯

[@trinaogg2550]

Hi Crystal, Derek and family! Hope you are all doing well. I didn’t think I would get emotional but it was hard to see Dinky go to new family. It is hard to see all the senior does being sold but Dinky was the hardest.

[@reneeangely8446]

I'll miss Dinky and Lodi a lot. Lodi's spitfire personality was always funny to watch and I'll miss her RBF. Dinky will always be pretty special for me. Seeing her as a teeny tiny baby and you all saved her life and it was fun seeing her grow into an adult and have kids of her own. Hope they do well in their new homes.

[@umarimran388]

We miss you dinky i know its such hard to say goodbye 😢 God bless you and your family Crystal

[@PRDreams]

Of the senior does, Dinky had my heart. Have fun with your new owners, Dinky! We will miss seeing you!

[@vangiefich]

Your family are all such hard workers! Amazing family!

[@deborahcornwell1840]

Dinky kissed you goodbye. Can't wait for breeding time 😅. It will be sad to see Lodi go😢.. Love going with you to deliver goats ❤. Love you guys 💞

[@Wolfpug]

It was sad seeing Dinky &the Escape Artist leave, I teared up a little, too. Wow. That is a lot of work that goes into the making of your soaps. Great job, Crystal.

[@donnalayne2395]

I know Lodi isn’t very friendly with other goats but I am still happy she is going to her new home with other goats that she has been around 😊😁

[@traceyfreeman5784]

I felt so sorry to see the doe’s go. New adventure and the buckling may help. Tears though, I will miss Lodi

[@GenuinelyJodi]

I’ll miss those girls. Especially Dinky. Your miracle doe.

[@kathybuckley4874]

I want to 😭seeing Dink Dink go!! I’ll miss her Dink Dink. Always looked forward to seeing her.

[@barbaralavoie1045]

More goat deliveries. Dinky doesn’t know what to think. Milking time back home with Crystal. I love watching all the goats racing down the plank.🥰. Love all the scenery you guys get to enjoy seeing while delivering all the little darlings. Virginia saying goodbye to Leila and Lodi . Too sad seeing all the older goats going. He doesn’t want to go either. But he’ll have a great home - four babies. Six goats! What a nice set of little sweeties for them. A lot of traveling.

[@margaretvargas1209]

Awe Lodi😢!! She's still the same, head butting the little bucks. And Dinky 😢 It's pretty close to breading again.

[@shanafredlake312]

So sad to see Lodi go. She was my favorite with her spunk and RBF. She will be missed 😢😢

[@sewmanyquilts8042]

I know how much work you all do to keep up with the herd. Your amazing

[@montyboy9809]

Sad! Such a long trip for those goats!

[@marystclair5834]

This was so hard! I am going to miss them so much! I am sure you all vetted their new homes well but I hope they will be as happy and cared for as much as they were at Blue Cactus! 💙🐐

[@meercatt]

It hurts me to think of those poor little goats in that trailer for so long. I don’t suppose they get out to stretch their legs at all? They must be so scared. 😢❤❤❤

[@sherreeroper7656]

Awww, dinky Dink was giving Derrick good bye kisses 💋 😢 she didn't want to go. Ornery? Is that goat PMS? So sad saying goodbye in TN. The guy looked like he loves his new goats,and he got the best goats in the nation..blue cactus dairy goats have a reputation to live up to.

[@HannaFardew]

I got to love on some nigerian drawfs today. Extremely friendly and loved all of the scritchy scratches they were getting. Yeah.... I want my own registered herd now

[@maryh2168]

I'm Going to miss the seniors 😢 hope all the goaties love their new homes. Too bad you all couldn't take the trip. Beautiful scenery. What state did the guys enjoy the best? Great job on the soap. 🙏 looking forward to seeing more ❤

[@KkFaith83]

I will miss Dinky, all the people seemed happy to receive their goats and I hope they give them good homes. Excited for y’all Crystal. God bless.

[@lumi_betta]

Lodi was always my favorite. Basically me as a goat, stunted growth included. I’ll miss you girl

[@ritafirestone761]

Seeing the goats go full cycle and getting to know each one makes it sad when each one is dropped of. Having watched their momma go in labor, and deliver them. I know that they are going to new homes and are going to be loved makes it easier.

[@MstresVampy]

I'm just glad we got to be a part of the herds adventure and tht includes all the blood lines in and out. If there is anything I've learned it's u can't keep them all and it is tuff to let them go but think about it this way especially w ms dinky they are all alive and well ,very productive. ❤❤❤❤

When are we going to see goatmilk lotion? I love your soap on my old skin.I think I would love your lotion if you ever make it. I love your t shirts also! Thanks Danette 🎉

[@SweetLike]

I watched Dinky and Lodi be born on your farm. It’s bittersweet.

[@kayashmore4296]

Your son & daughter are both such great additions to your business. I know they have grown up helping do every step on the farm. Since they have grown up knowing the in & outs of it have they said what they may want to do with their lives. Will they continue with goats or do something totally different. You have grown a business with it & it would be nice to see them carry on with the family business but I realize that may not be their passion. Just curious. God bless you all.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Derek and I certainly encourage them continuing to have a part and yes, eventually take it over.

Thats great to know. You and Derick have such a good , caring and amazing young kids!!!!

[@grandymommy4531]

So sad to see Lodi go. Do those guys have a you tube channel so we can see how their little herd is doing? And how about Dinky? I know you have to make hard choices and since they are essentially your babies It's got to be tougher for you than for your viewers.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Not easy for me at all! It's the worst part about being a breeder. The new owners don't have YT channels but do provide great homes for them :)

[@aquawoelfly]

I get "if it works, it works. why change what works?" And i have seen you adjust the cutter mtiple times in a loaf to keep the size consistant... But have you though of getting a cutter to cut a whole loaf at once?

[@laurie8166]

Oh man it’s so hard to see Dinky and Lodi go 😢 my little guy and i are sending you crystal a great big hug 🤗.. I left one girl and one buck together for 8 weeks and it’s my first time ever trying to breed goats, how could I know if she’s pregnant or not? When will she start to show if pregnant?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Right around 3 months old you can start to feel the babies move around in their bellies. It's my hillbilly ultrasound method :). You'll see an udder start to develope around 4 month pregnant also. Not all goats get big and wide and can be hard to tell sometimes

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

Derek, when are you going to explain about the trailer to us?
