Great video! Although, I’m exhausted watching you clean the machine. I’m sure you’re glad you only have to clean one.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol! Yes!

[@carolynnance2376]

I don’t believe any of the viewers realize the work that goes into goat farming. I’m gonna start calling you “ Wonder Woman!” I admire you very much girl! Thank you for sharing every aspect of your business with us. Not just the fun stuff. But I do know that even the fun stuff isn’t easy. Like goat shows! I can’t even begin to know what you have to do to prepare for those! So I will just say thank you for sharing and blessings over you, your family, your farm and animals. From the OkC Grandmother.

[@emmavazquez2311]

I certainly understand the true work of goat farming, though I may not run as large an ‘operation’ as they do, I’m around Crystals daughters age and manage over 400 animals. Chickens, rabbits, geese, ducks, sheep, alpacas, horses and yes, my precious Nubian and Boer goats😉

[@carmenHernandez-jg1kk]

Yes is a hard work and Crystal and fam are my heroes!!!!

[@dcruicks1]

Hello Crystal ...im here almost crying looking at the kids and Lodi leaving. Your family have such an amazing bond and work team that I wish I live close to you guys . When you watched the videos for so many years you guys are like family. You and Emily cleaning the soap shop in the other video I got sentimental bc you have an amazing daughter , hard worker and a nice bond with you. Then Derrick and Dann have an amazing bond and such a hard worker as well ..oh and a good driver. Keep your good job as an amazing mom . The goats are so big and healthy as always and is sad to see them leaving to their new homes. Safe trip to the guys .!! Take care Crystal and fam. Hugs from Michigan!!❤❤🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@lisaadams2118]

Can I just say watching you clean the milk machine was super relaxing to me! I know I’m weird and enjoy dishes.

[@barbaralavoie1045]

Amazing how much cleaning of milk machine that you have to do but at least it’s clean and sterile each time. I notice over the years that you are fussy about things and that is good, as I am myself. It’s one of the things that impressed me to begin with. I’ll always have you as my number one video about goats. ❤️👍

[@maryheisa2168]

Sad to see the goats go😢 but very understandable. Hope they enjoy their new homes. How many times did it take to remember how to put the milk machine back together? Thats a lot of little parts😂 I'm afraid I'd have leftovers.😂 Im great at pulling things apart, not sure about the putting back together. That in itself looks like a lot of work and time. Great job 👏 Beautiful scenery on the guys trip❤❤ How cool!! Some day i would like to float the Colorado.❤ If possible try the new river gorge in west Virginia. White water at its finest ❤ thanks for the trip. When do you and Emily get to take a road trip and enjoy the sights?

[@chiplover3240]

Anna bananas favorite part of milking, my mom always said that dogs are not happy if thay don't have a job. Our dog was part hurding dog he lived in the city😣 so he found his job he would run the neaborhood looking for toys in people's yards and bring them home. We would find them and put them on the sidewalk for a week, if no one takes them we kept them. But when thay were on the sidewalk Rascal would gather them up and put them back in the backyard. Crazy dog!😄

First of all let me just congratulate you guys, the cardio in your previous videos is really working you all look fantastic.

The brush on a wire you used for cleaning out the long tube reminded me of the one I made to clean the air tube in our 100 livestock tank that we had for goldfish. The big difference is I attached a wire from the other end of the brush as well. This allowed us to clean the tube by pulling the brush back & forth inside. Yes, I said US. We worked together to make it clean ... alternating the pulling.

I'm watching you clean the milk machine and I'm cringing at seeing you bleach the rubber rings and things. How often do you replace them since bleach can erode rubber and plastic after some time? it's incredibly detailed and I appreciate all the hard work to keep your family healthy as your soap pure. Thank you Crystal.

Nothing is getting wore down from the bleach. Haven't had to replace anything as of yet.

It's called gynecomastia and it's not as rare as one may think. Typically, it means the buck is from heavy milk lines. It's odd to think that can happen, but it does.
