MEET THE NEW BABIES! | Gender Reveal

[@tamaramartin6921]

Blue may be a miniature LaMancha. That would explain the small size of the babies. They look healthy and strong.

[@ottaknow]

🤞🏻

[@dyslexicsheeple931]

Agree. They are of a miniature breed? I would do more research? Their lung development sounded extremely loud and healthy unlike a premature kid. Strong healthy muscles allowing them to stand and nurse shortly after birth. They are both beautiful. Best wishes for their surprise kiddo's.

[@lindamaskus5142]

Mini LaManchas are 24-26in high for does. Bucks are 24-28 in high. Minis are a cross between standard LaManchas and Nigerian dwarfs. Pretty interesting.

[@tamaramartin6921]

The blue eyes are a Nigerian Dwarf trait, also.

[@jessiMBS3383]

I was thinking the same. I have lamancha goats and they are bigger than Blue.

[@NonexistentHomestead]

When Blue is "cleaning up" the kids, it is not just to clean them. She is smelling to make sure they are her kids. If she was in nature, you will see that she will hide the kids and then go out and graze. When she gets full, she will call them to come nurse. She will always smell their rears to be sure they are hers before allowing them to eat. You may want to consider another gate on the opposite side of that pen so that you can take her out and let her get some fresh green without having to deal with the other goats getting in there. If you don't do that you might try to prune some lower branches from your wooded area and give them to her to clean off. Hidden Heights Farm did several good videos on the birthing and kids behavior.

[@debbycolflesh7892]

Houdini is perfect. Work never ends 😅. What precious babies. Poor Herc trying to paw-pat Houdini. He just wants to be a big brother.

[@KSDossAcres]

Yes he does! 🥰

[@candyslife160]

I guessed his name before you said it out loud. Houdini is a perfect name for that little goatlet. 🐐 🐐

[@naturallyblonderockingred]

Houdini or rascal, kyle said rascal too 😂😂, i like both! Lol one could be Rascal, the other Flatts 😂😂😂

[@naturallyblonderockingred]

Their theme tune would totally be "life is a highway" 😂 and when they start playfighting with one another "what hurts the most" 😂😂 totally fits with that country living lolx

[@resaday7236]

I was watching the video on TV …. Picked up my phone to suggest Houdini… lol just at that moment you called him Houdini the video….was an awesome moment for me😊

[@terrimills8609]

Houdini! Exactly the name that I was thinking….”He’s just a little Houdini!” Excellent name! ❤️❤️❤️🐐🐐🐐

[@aineoconnell690]

Those goatlets are so stinking cute 🥰 especially the brown one. You guys do what works for you whatever anyone else says. You know your babies the best Congratulations 🎉 🎉

[@cathywithac]

Notice that Blue is getting comfortable with Herc near her kids. When Houdini slipped through the fence towards Herc, she was not overreacting, Kyle and Shanon did, but not Blue. It is all coming together.

[@objectiveobserver4278]

Blue doesn't like Herc, but she has seen how he reacts to Spruce and how he protects Spruce. It really is Mario she needs to be afraid of for her babies. As the only intact male, he would not want new baby males in or near his herd.

[@donnawofford64]

Now y'all know how he got through

[@barbarataylor1135]

New babies are sooooo cute❤. 😊

[@maryloudamarino4079]

Boy oh boy have you got your hands full!! Houdini is going to keep you on your toes. I hope whenever Mamma has her babies they are girls. Miss Blue is doing an amazing job with her two and she is so gentle and sweet. What a joy!❤

[@janicewarner9938]

I want to see them so bad after they are all dry and cleaned up by momma. I love it that one has brown on it and the other black. So much cuteness.

[@cjdiffin7237]

Blue and her goatlets are also doing great❤❤❤

[@trudiharmon7640]

Kyle and Shannon your doing amazing so glad the little one did that in front of you so you could do it straight away so no more escapes. Bless you both certainly been through it so far. Spruce was easy compared to goatlets. Spruce will always be adorable too just like Herc. You’ll figure it out and do what’s best for all of them. Won’t be long and they will be running and doing tricks with spruce all over the place. Thanks for sharing take care and God Bless. 🙏💕🐐

[@danhandke5012]

You are doing a great job. 👍❤️👍❤️👍

[@Lilly61401]

Love the way you two do your animals !!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💜🙏💜

[@ischafer8073]

👋 Trial by fire; preemies. Teeny enough to slip through the fencing. 😲 City here (Still. Proudly), but IMO you two are doing just grand 👏. What was so overwhelming in this episode was the quiet. Serenity. No barking. No jealous cries from Spruce. Just calm. And that speaks Volumes about you and your competence as heads of the pack/herd/flock. Continued success through these warmer temps. Give yourself some grace 👊🙏🙏🙏

[@katee2231]

Both are so precious but I love that little brown one. Looks like it could be related to Spruce. How precious they all are.

[@joanhenson4567]

The babies are so beautiful, adorable and precious❤❤❤❤

[@nancybrown2207]

You will also need to make sure the kid can’t get through the gate door on the latch side. Looks like Houdini could slip through the wood door frame by pushing a tad. They are so sweet and fun to watch. I feel sorry for Blue she looks stressed trying to keep up with them. God bless and keep everyone safe and healthy 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@Benice12]

Who knew, that you guys were just in training with Spruce for future new goatlets ? They are sure very cute, and Blue is an amazing goat mother.❤

[@KSDossAcres]

❤️

[@michellemundell9589]

Omgsh those babies are so stinking adorable 🥰 Herc is so sweet wanting to pet Houdini. What a great mom Blue is too, that definitely makes it easier on you Shannon not having to bottle feed them. Loved the video! God Bless!

[@lpifer24]

Cute babies! ❤❤❤

[@phyllislowry6265]

The little goatlets are so cute. The little brown one (Houdini) is really tiny & I'm glad you were there when he came thru the fence so you know it needs to be made more secure. I can imagine how upset you were when you couldn't find him. But Herc knew where he was & he's a good guard dog & protector, especially of the little goats. I'm sure at least the little goats will be OK with him as they get a little older. Hopefully, Blue will be, too.

[@maryrussell979]

The babies are awesome. Like the other goats ❤️

[@kathrynjohnston794]

Herc is so anxious to meet the "goatlets." They are adorable! Blue seems to be doing a little bit better with Herc. When the escape artist was making his move and Herc was right there, Blue didn't even try to head butt him through the fence, which I thought she was going to do. Your work is never done. Especially when you are trying to get so much accomplished and you get extra surprises and jobs added to your list. However, you two are doing a great job. God's blessing on all on Shady Acres from Proctor Minnesota!

[@lindakemp2742]

Spruce will always be #1 ❤

[@jackiemallon6601]

When Blue heard the gate open she was on guard just in case Herk came in.

[@JudyJ-tj3gk]

The both of you would make awesome parents

[@13juju]

They are parents!!!

[@sherrywilliams409]

They sure will be great parents to a human baby one day. I do hope it’s in their plans. They sure are good parents to their four legged fur babies!

[@rebeccadowney5899]

Bless Blue, Herc, babies, and you all

[@kathyramirez5512]

Wow, Houdini was the natural choice! Frodo or Blue Moon again as once in..... because for sure, y'all will be prepared for Mama!!! Wonderful video. Please give Herc a big hug for me. Sweet boy wants to love on them and protect them! I bet Blue knows that he will protect them!! Prayers for the owls to leave the area!!!🙏❤️🥰

[@nancyhimmelrick52]

The babies are so cute, and Herc is such a good boy!

[@debbymiller8828]

I am glad I GET to watch your channel. It’s fun to hear & see you both learn to live a farmer’s life.

[@graceinthegarden9151]

Blue is an amazing mom. I really pray that the dynamics work out the best for everyone. Keep up the good/hard work, and know God has brought you this far and will continue to guide you both in this journey.

[@ReneeJuarez-gz5xb]

Those are the sweetest babies I have seen in a while. Blue is a very good mom. Kyle has some work to do. Shannon enjoy the cuddles while you can.

[@heathergingrich6170]

Kyle when he came thru the fence I immediately went and said his name should be Houdini 😊 Fits him❤

[@glorywatkins3165]

I did the same thing

[@reneebunch6007]

We all gasped when Houdini got out of the pen. Herc is so sweet he just watches and doesn’t push his way but wants to see the babies so bad. Blue needs to trust him and maybe she will soon. Kyle it wouldn’t e the same without you narrating for us. You make it so interesting with you talking for the animals. 😂😂♥️

[@carlapierle8623]

You should have seen the surprise on my face when Houdini went through that fence!! 😲 I'm so glad you were there to observe it so you know to make it a priority to fix it. They are just adorable!!! Blue is a wonderful mama. Of course, Spruce and Herc are still the stars!

[@lovinthepast4555]

Couldn’t wait for an update. Y’all are doing just fine. Did you hear your brother Chad say he wished he’d had thought of Goatlettes. Loved it. Nora🥀 We need names ?

[@susanfitch1994]

Hmm.. Chad would want goatlets? Not without Rae

[@SKJones-ik4yu]

Hi Shannon and Kyle. Well done on getting Blue set up safely with her "goatlets". I am truly glad that you were right there when Houdini came through the fence. Blue would have been majorly stressed if you hadn't been there. She trusts you two which is a blessing considering her self preservation mindset. You are on the right track. Best wishes and prayers.

[@TammyA165]

I love the way Kyle talks for the animals it is just too cute and Shanon you are a great mama. Love to both

[@ottaknow]

And also how Shannon carries on a conversation with his goat voices😂❤️🥰

[@marywallace6383]

We appreciate your videos. Never a dull moment in farm land.

[@normakennedy4569]

The baby goats are so cute. God bless your channel.

[@kellystephens077]

Houdini was born second but he seems to be the stronger one and he's getting around much better than his older brother. I know it's early in their development but in this one and the last video it seemed like the little black/white guy is having leg or strength issues. He kept laying down and not wanting to play with his brother. I hope he is ok and continues to gain his strength. 🐐💙🐐

[@kristinamagruder2159]

You might consider a shallower bucket for water. When the goatlets start jumping, you don't want one of them to accidentally drown. That happened to Zion Creek Farms. Last video was great. You all are doing a great job!

[@brindlebailey]

Houdini is the perfect name! I like CC (short for carbon copy) for the little black and white guy, since he looks just like his mom. 😁 They are both just absolutely adorable! I have to admit to being a bit partial to the little brown guy, though. 😍❤️❤️

[@kathywifall6844]

Hercules was smiling through the toy in his mouth.🥰🥰Yes, I love the term goatlets better than kids. Blue's boys are La Mancha too---look @ those little ears. Nothing wrong with name waiting--their health and livelihood is more important. Houdini is a great name for the littlest one.

[@rebeccasimmons3536]

It was so sweet when Hercules put his paw through the fence and tried to touch the little brown baby.❤️❤️

[@janetwithers7427]

Your videos are the best. When Houdini walked through the fence, my mouth dropped. He is so cute!!! Herc has so much love for the babies and goats and he saved the day for finding Houdini in his first escape. Herc deserves a medal dog treat. You guys are having fun, I know. 💞🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@judydruetto2636]

[@-LoveGrandma]

Love the name Houdini! Herc is doing an amazing job. You two are as well! ❤️

[@jsnanax4.]

Kyle, Shannon > you two are so precious with those babies , including the adults. thank you for sharing all your life with us.

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

Yes Blue is a miniature Lamancha. So is Chad's Oreo. This means they are about the size of a Nigerian Dwarf goat. Average birth weight of the kids is 3-5 lbs. At least that's what I have seen on the dairy goat farms I follow. Have fun with your mini Lamanchas! 💖💖💖

[@cjdiffin7237]

This is your farm, not anyone else's. And you both are doing great. ❤

[@southernbelle3995]

Houdini is perfect. The babies are so sweet and not a bit squirmy.

[@jkgmiller]

This is a captivating episode and I can hardly wait for the next episode. Herc is such a patient dog

[@lynnemcclung6207]

Life happens while you're busy making plans. 🎉 Y'all are doing great!

[@clarencew.brooks1.1.1.4]

Hello Kyle&Shannon.gone a bit. Your little farm is coming along, always changing for the better. Always love to see the animals.

[@tammyjohnson5630]

She is such a great momma . They are too stinking cute oh my goodness. You 2 are so blessed

[@janetfarris1025]

The two goatlets are adorable. Bet you guys are tired 🤣 I love the name Houdini for brown baby. You could call him Hootie for short. Looking forward to the next video to see what is going on with the chicks.

[@johnniemcelwee8027]

Lol I am here waiting. Love you two. And all the animals.

[@florencegarza4232]

Oh, my goodness, Houdini really fits him. So tiny and sneaky. Guys, I too would've been going crazy. To lose a new tiny goat-let? Oh my, I would be in panic mode. You little babies are doing great and mamma Blue is such a wonderful mamma. Hey, I saw the brown one, oops, I mean Houdini, jumping like Spruce does. That's so cute. You guys are so blessed to have 3 baby goats. I think they are so adorable. God bless you both and your farm.

[@christinawyckoff2164]

Beautiful baby goats you're awesome farmer parents 💗💙

[@marilynhughey1231]

You remember Hercules is still young when you see him with his security Snoopy toy.

[@franlovell520]

Kyle is going to have to really expand Goatville at Shady Acres sooner than he thought.😅 Surprise's happen!

[@billyharrisonjr6]

[@billyharrisonjr6]

😊😊😊

[@AnitaK196]

Herc was so good sitting there calmly watching the goatlets. When Houdini escaped, Herc was right there being a gentle protector. That was so sweet. Spruce sounding off and running to the fence when he knew you two were there. Think he will always be that way. Speaking of Spruce, I really liked your Spruce Lee T-shirt.

[@christinebake3989]

I've watched theburths 3 times now and you two. Are an amazing couple working everything out together. So proud of you Shannon for seeing the birth . And stomaching it. I remember being a kid on the farm mum worked at seeing the lambing and helping if the lamb was left in the sack I had to split it open so the lamb could breath I was extremely ill. But soon got used to the gooey mess . When the lamb gets up and bleats for mumma.

[@patgriffin1925]

Wow, you guys have so much on your plate!!. Actually, you are handling it very well.. It is so enjoyable and a little concerned with worry that the new babies and the birds will be kept safe from all predators. Everything will fall into place because you guys are so connected and love your fur babies. Your videos are so wholesome and so darn funny with Kyle talking for all of the farm babies. Shannon, you are an awesome farm parent. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@elizabethday5744]

The brown goatlet needs to be called "Houdini"

[@nonidavis932]

Thanks!

[@KSDossAcres]

Thank you so much!! ❤️🥰 We appreciate you, your support and your generosity! ❤️

[@carrielittlecplaster1620]

I love blues ears. The babies are so cute

[@lorrieroberts3007]

Mama looks like she is ready to pop too!! The Goatlets are SO SO CUTE & Blue is being such a good Mama Herc knew where the baby was at, GOOD BOY, Herc!! Mario & Mama look a lot a like. I love the Tri colors they have. Love the name Houdini...God Bless

[@1550arenteria]

I’m glad you saw him come through the fence. That could have ended up really bad.❤

HI KYLE AND SHANNON..LOVE YOU GUYS

[@christinebake3989]

Congratulations on the addition of two more baby goatlettes Boys b&W. Domino. Fawn .Decker.

[@lindaglory876]

Lil Brownie can be called Houdini...lol. They really are adorable. If there was anything wrong when they were born, Momma Blue would have nothing to do with them. She would not clean or let them nurse. Your eden is coming along just beautifully. Lu ya's: GRAM.

[@barbscarrow7300]

Houdini is perfect😊 Cuteness over load❤ Can't wait to hear the name of Mr Blk & white❤🇨🇦

[@eidlog65]

You could put chicken wire around the baby pen . The whole are very small and it would help keep Houdini in the pen . By the looks of mom she could possibly have her kids very soon .

[@debcross2335]

You and Shannon did an awesome job when the babies were born and being newbies I applaud the great insight you showed. You are my fave in vloggers and I think the way you search info in every sense of the word to be more informed. Congratulations on a job well done 👍♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@marjoriebell4956]

What a beautiful goat family, 7 is Gods number 😇💜 You two have your hands full, keep up the great work and sharing. Love and prayers for all ♥️🙏🏼

[@kathydeel4780]

I think Herc has proven himself at least with Houdini, that he isn't aggressive. 🐐🤷‍♀️🐐

[@jodiebelton625]

It’s so cute watching you both holding these baby goats. The kids look completely comfortable in your arms.

[@MusicList-rl9yu]

Spruce Lee tee- I love it.

[@jchai1343]

I just love how gentle you are with each animal,and how you give each and every one of them a gentle thank you and respect ! Love hearing Kyles voices!

[@Curlytopwelch]

Awe they are sooo precious! Yes plenty of time for decisions later. Shanon, I love your Spruce shirt!! Its going to be so much fun to watch the 3 babies hopping running around. Y'all are doing a great job!

[@tinajones5620]

I knew that the little brown one was a boy!! Yay!! Y’all know your own animals and will do what is best for them! I love the look of pants on the back legs of Blue! Herc has such a big heart ❤️ and just wants to love her and the babies. He’s such a good boy! Little brown one has some spunk to him! He should be called spunky! Or sparky. I like Houdini!!

[@caligurlbornraised1874]

Houdini! Perfect!😂❤ Herc is the Best!❤ Continued blessings Kyle & Shannon. ❤❤

[@kymberleyhartfiel7774]

It melted my heart watching Herc saying hello to the babies🇦🇺❤️

[@bevosp1254]

Those two goatlets are adorable. Herc will learn what to do and not to do with the new two as with Spruce. Love and hugs

[@carolineholmes7646]

Houdini, great name! ❤ Sorry he gave you such a scare! Hercules knew just where to find him! Such a good boy!. He loves the little goatlets! I agree the babies need to get quite a bit bigger before Hercules can play with them. Never a dull moment! But so wise to make sure they are safe from the predators. You and Shannon are so caring with your animals!❤

[@chrisjohanson9284]

The babies are so tiny, cute, the little brown one needs a name for escaping. I’m glad Blue did not panic when Herk was near him. Take care 🙏❤️👍😊✨

[@raygill3176]

The Doss family are my favorite pages of all.

[@SA-ke4zl]

I know where I want my animals, Shady Acres or Grandpa! How great!

[@barbjarvi6543]

Another reason for low birth weight can because blue didn’t get the extra nutrients she needed while she was pregnant . For one y’all didn’t know she was pregnant. So now that’s she is her milk is going to fatten them up . They look like they’re doing great

[@sherrellfick5359]

Love the voice over that Kyle does rand i awed when Herk tried to pet Houdini . Priceless 🥰🐾👋🫶🇨🇦

[@leonandvirginiaclark9506]

I hope you keep the twins, they are just too cute!

[@ChrisBury20]

What a sweet Goat herd you are growing there at Shady Acres! Congrats on the babies doing so well. I think Herc has already taken to Houdini, that is why Blu didn't overreact. She knows he will protect him, just like he did with Spruce.

[@susanfitch1994]

Blue's mamabilities!
