Man, glad to see a video!!!! I got so used to seeing y’all and the shorts about everyday... I was having withdrawals!!!!!

[@stevejunso5822]

Hey Crystal I know it’s tough but is there any way you could do a video explaining the lose of the six kids and what happened . I love how passionate and caring you are with your herd. If it’s to much I understand. Keep up the great job. Have a blessed day!!

[@laurajackson2429]

As always Darin did an excellent job recording! That takes a steady hand and patience. Crystal you are knocking it out of the park! Another Great video Blue Cactus Dairy Goats!

Darin is awesome with the camera isn't he...what will they do when he runs off to Hollywood 🎥🎬 🤪😂 he would be sorely missed.

I am still eagerly waiting to watch you operating the milking machine. I hope you operate it soon.

You running around with the whole bunch is my favorite part of your videos. Makes me so happy!!! Hubby still won't let me have any, although he finds them adorable too. 💗

I agree

[@jeriannroberts1816]

Every time you said milk shave I wanted a goat milk shake! The udders look so much better when shaved. The sold babies look real healthy. Folks are very fortunate to have one that is so well taken care of. Blessings family

[@margaretleboeuf6765]

I love the way you care for your 🐐 x ? I've learned so much from you, and glad you are enjoying your passion. Y'all take care of yourselves, too!

[@para-diceranch5648]

It's amazing how you have time to video with all the work you have at moment! Darin is so smooth with the videos! Mine would be shaking and bouncing all over LOL. It looks like he is running backwards too 😆 impressive! Have a great weekend!!

[@darlouthia5153]

Loved the run with the kids at the end !! Great camera angles !

[@bobbikuhn3496]

My favorite part is watching the babies do their running around the pen, How cute is that. I enjoy watching you clean up the udder areas. It makes a huge difference. Good job.

[@angelajohnson577]

Gonna post my phone right next to my milking stand, turn this video back on, and follow each and every step as I milk shave my own does (first time here! Whew - so thankful for ya!). Thank you for the wonderful resource, help, and example you are!! You're awesome! Thank you again for sharing!

Could you do a video of the baby goats you are keeping so we can see their growth and them running around playing. Also thank-you for you and your family all the hard work so we can enjoy

[@michaelkelsey3354]

Crystal has already done a video of the does she will be retaining, I’m sure there will be an update video soon :)

[@southernbelle3995]

Aww, babies got their horns done. Glad you didn't show that. It makes me squirm..lol They are so cute with the running and their own zoomies. Growing so fast, kind of like your family. Thanks for taking the time to post.

[@carolashmore669]

I noticed that also. I got out of goat ownership after three years....could not ever get used to having the babies horn buds burned off. It hurt my heart hearing them. So I enjoy Crystal’s goats now!

[@theresamcgurer8714]

Oh those babies are so cute and adorable and so funny and so cute running around and jumping and hopping they are really hilarious wish I could afford one but I can’t because I don’t have a place to keep it do you have a female goat named after a dog that we had her name was little bit and she was a gorgeous dog and loving so namesake deserved for both of them well girl I enjoyed watching you I enjoy all your videos and everything you do God love you guys everyone of you animals to God bless the lady from Indiana who loves Your videos

LOVE watching your videos, ones like these are so enjoyable because it's like we're right there with you, having a lesson in farm chores. I just love these moments with you!!! Thank you!! Also... my first advertisement was HILARIOUS!!! It was Subaru Outlander. They said "it's rugged and refined like a goat with a bowtie". I was dying with laughter, I had to share on my Instagram and Facebook... it was way too funny to not share! A commercial that mention goats while I'm watching a goat video... how perfect was that?!

[@drddianesbryant]

All the little boogers running is so very much fun to watch. Love y’all!! ❤️ Have a great weekend!!

[@serenityblu1765]

Was hoping to see how you handled a first timer to be shaved. Cant imagine the difficulty. If theres a trick to it or just go for it and hope for the best.

[@xXBittyBABEXx]

I am so curious how those crazies (minus Roxy!) have gone being separated and milked twice a day, especially since it’s been so long for some and some haven’t before.

[@dairybear69]

Just curious, how is Roxy working out for you, she seemed quite calm on the stand in her pic.

I have a"Little Bit" as well...she is a miniature Rat Terrier...her name is " lilbit"...was talking to her on our second night and she chose her name out of my talking...mentioned she wasn't much more than a little bit of nothing...her ears twitched...I repeated little bit and she turned in my lap and looked me straight in the eyes...and that's her story. Thank you and your family ( two and four leggers) for sharing your life's journey.

[@donnajeffery8267]

I have to say Crystal you seem more relaxed now you are doing what you love 24/7 instead of going to the job that wasn’t something you wanted to do so I think you quitting your job and doing your first love was the right thing for you to do because at the other job you seemed stressed all the time but not know you seem relaxed more

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Beautiful job! Was that a number 10 blade? Love to watch your herd of babies RUN!!

Wow Crystal, yoy shave every year but this is your best educational video yet! I haven't shaved that high up in back nor the belly before. Very nice. Is that camera boy or DH? Also the short end of the needle, we call that the bevel and its "bevel up".

[@inglis7086]

I was wondering were your vlog was - was thinking about what else you could breed that would not compete with the goats and thought LGD's you have a good pack for them to learn from and then teach their puppies

Love your videos so much that this New York City girl wants to come help you kid, and I bought a doe plush baby of my own from Amazon! She came in an air sucked out clear bag and looked so much like a just born doe that I pretended to wipe her face and stimulate her! Okay, now I’m going to lay some more Crystal knowledge on you: she’s chamois (spelling?), not polled or blue- eyed, and I named her Dreamer like your baby mama who just kidded! Love you guys!❤️❤️❤️

Nice job explaining about the razor but oooh you mentioned Wal-Mart lol wow mayo did excellent job on the stand I was showing the wonderful 92 yr old woman I live with each goat you had put there names she thought they were beautiful she liked lodi,lilli and abaline and loved the end seeing all the babies running around with you I have a question for you have you ever by accident came to close to the udders,stomachs,or tail area and nicked them ???

[@hackerdontcare2032]

Milking was never the issue it was the skittishness that was affecting the rest of the herd. They are retaining the daughters and selling the crazies in milk, except Roxy gets to stay. The other R are off to nutrition and soap making. They have already poured money they won't get back and a less stressed herd is worth them leaving. They had a year, only Roxy made the cut.

[@shargomol3572]

Do you ever do fecal worm counts after or before worming with Ivermectin. Resistance is becoming more common in my area and it’s being researched by Cornell university.. by looking at counts after worming and evaluating for resistance. Ivermectin is such a good product it’s all we have used for years now... now looking for horses to going back to rotation and parisite counts

Crystal approximately how long does it take to do one goat. I am assuming you are also doing some type of inspection on their udders. I absolutely love watching the kids running around their pen & enjoying themselves.

[@shannontilton6720]

I have a question imagine internet was no more and you still had your goats and you had to get copper into their system to make them healthy how would you do it organically how do goats get enough copper to make them healthy organically without supplementing any type of pills
