[@ritasnider2998]

Don’t be influenced by others, do what is best for your little family. You guys love these animals and will make the best decision for all.

[@JeanBrewer]

Yep! I have always said as far as comments go..... Take what you need, (the Great ideas) LET THE REST GO!

[@ottaknow]

I totally agree Take care of yourselves first❤. We really do love you

[@brindlebailey]

Kudos to you, Kyle and Shanon, for realizing when you're getting overloaded, and looking at it with a logical rather than just an emotional perspective. Whatever you decide, I know you'll do the best for your animals. ❤️❤️🐐

[@tamarasmith3624]

The hardest decision depends on your plans for the goats. What is their purpose? Pets? Weed control? Future income? Food? Boys to clear the property and girls for babies. Either way you will need 2 separate enclosures. Baby boys need to be separated from their moms around 3 months to prevent accidents! Nice thing about Premier 1 fencing, it can be moved around as needed.

[@jennifergriffin7204]

Cog hill farm are putting all mail goats in a place where they can’t see the girls . It helps . Why not put your mails at the opposite end of your land xxx

[@cathywithac]

@@jennifergriffin7204 Kyle has already said that having separate goat pens at opposite sides of the property is not an option. They are not planning to develop of goat business.

[@rebeccaboe468]

@@cathywithac Cog Hill is not developing a goat business either, they just know what is best for their babies and they don't give them up, they try to accommodate them and give them the best lives possible.

[@kathymcgathy2006]

If you are going to get rid of any girls or wethers look into the Eldridge Family. They are a young family with a 2 year old and new twins. They are trying to build their homestead but things are getting in the way. Someone gave them an intact billy baby that is coming of age. They would be well cared for and loved. About the rats and mice, why do you think everyone has barn cats? They are attracted by the feed and stuff the animals eat and drop. Pick up a young cat or 2 from the shelter. If you feed them near the hay area that would be a good place for them to live and be protected from the weather. Place is really looking good. Y’all are doing a great job 👏. Love ❤️

[@jsnanax4.]

Thats a great idea.

[@tinafortin8958]

Yes a great idea

[@sandrapicard422]

Eldridge family is looking for females i believe!! You would’ve had 5 males if you kept Spruce in-tacked.

[@MarkWilliams-lf5tc]

Chickens eat mice

[@tinamurphey7120]

​@@MarkWilliams-lf5tc that's exactly what I was thinking too. I bet the Turkeys and maybe the Guinea's do as well. 😊

[@cathywithac]

Bleu has been pregnant and dealing with mama hormones since before Herc met her. Her life before Shady Acres was turbulent. After the goatlets are weaned, give her time for her hormones to settle. You may be pleasantly surprised at how well she and Herc get along. Rehoming Mario is a good idea. It will give Bleu, Mama and the rest of the goat pen peace. It will prevent unplanned pregnancies too.

[@ottaknow]

🤞🏻 I was hoping that would happen too ❤

[@kathyramirez5512]

Kyle and Shanon, I know y'all will do what's best for your goats and your farm and we will support you in whatever you chose! Shhhhhh, don't tell Matt, but I think between y'all and Grandpa, you have him hooked! He even admitted Batman is his "bud"!

[@debcross2335]

I notice that when you first walk up on Herc and the goats, Herc always has his tug rope in his mouth ready to play. He really loves you both so much ❤️😊😂❤❤❤❤

[@simchabl]

Have you considered putting large rocks in the hole, then filling with the dirt, to keep Herc from re-digging the hole?

[@MarkWilliams-lf5tc]

Bury some Herc bombs in there and he won’t want to dig there anymore

[@tinamurphey7120]

Or, a piece of hardware cloth buried to deter Hercules from digging

[@GinaKayLandis]

Or start a hole elsewhere since he is digging to have a cool place to lie down?

[@tanyabailey2784]

Fill the hole with several days of Hercs poop and then add the fill dirt, he won't re-dig in that spot.

[@robertfoose9453]

Bleu is such a good goat and a good mama. You also need some cats to control the mice.

[@starrcallaway4108]

Okay, this comment is exactly what l was going to say. Something about Blue just tugs at my heart strings. I would be keeping Herc, Bruce, Blue and getting 2 spayed female cats. They are very productive mousers. Mostly, l want you two to pray about it and follow where your hearts lead. You are blessed and so are your animals. ❤

[@carolholt7146]

Both of you in my opinion are doing a great job with all your creatures. I love how Kyle do the voice for the animals. Kyle and Shannon Be proud and enjoy your lives.

Sharon that is such a good idea! 😀

[@reginagibson1908]

Kyle you need to get a couple barn cats, that would be a way to reduce the mice.

[@teresamurray7839]

Send Blu to Grandpa Adlers..he needs a sweet loving goat and she would thrive on a homestead like that or take her to Coghill. I mean it's a road trip but she's worth it! I don't think she'd do well somewhere that she doesn't get loved on, which is why your dad would be a perfect option!

[@objectiveobserver4278]

Cog Hill would be perfect. They are setting up huge pens for their goats and Brooke and Mary Carl are going into the soap making business. They could also breed Blue with any of their males since they are not related.

[@monicapaluski2512]

Grandpa does not want anymore goats.

[@debbie4503]

Except that Ralph already has 3 goats with one intact. (P Dub) His goats are set in their ways and it wouldn't be long before Blue would be a Mama again. Then Ralph would be facing the same problem that Kyle and Shanon are having. ❤ PS At first, I thought the same thing.

[@sandrab.2637]

Also, there are 2 lsg dogs at Grandpa’s 😊. Kyle didn’t mention his Dads as an option😉

[@janetscott5252]

Cog Hill would be a great sanctuary for Blue!!❤

[@sharonfreitas3712]

For rat and mouse control, I highly recommend the Flip and Slide bucket traps! I have 4 and I want more! Crunchy peanut butter, spread on underside, back of lid, is a sure bet, bait. We empty the dispatched rodents into our pond, for our turtles. No waste.

[@debbie4503]

Isn't that what Ralph, Grandpa, was using? They worked great.

[@maxinemadero9650]

I know you will do what's best for the clan.

[@PeggyAmaya]

those industrial hall mats and door mats might slow Herc down, or get him to move his hole. Your dad just put some in the puppies' pens.

[@objectiveobserver4278]

I think they used indoor/outdoor carpet.

[@bluecrystal2578]

Herc is hot , he would love a pool to wade in and cool off, that sun is a killer.

[@reneebunch6007]

It wouldn’t be the same without you talking for them Kyle. You make it so funny and real. Herc jumped in protecting mode to protect his Sprucers. ♥️♥️

[@monicapaluski2512]

Blue may have been attacked by a dog and that is why she can't get along with him and he goes up to her in kind of an aggressive way.

[@sandyg3639]

Spruce is such a character. He just has to check out everything. The area you cleared, looks great. You both have accomplished so much. Blessings to you both. 🐐💕

[@suehartwigsen1655]

Yes if you fill the hole mostly with rocks, then dirt, Herc can't dig as deep. Love, love, love watching your videos and have since the very beginning.

[@fuzzylop9164]

Looks great all that clean up work was worth it. I really don't think you have a choice but to rehome Larry and Harry. Have you considered milking the goats? You will have to do like Cog hill does is separate pastures for the boys and girls. Their breeding buck is housed with a wether so he is not lonely. You can always wait on a breeding buck until you are ready.

[@coolwatyr]

Hi Kyle and Shanon Decide which goats you want to keep… offer the ones you want to send on to your Shady Acres/Adler Farms Family first. You will ALWAYS have a million projects. Job Security 😂 I enjoy whatever you share…. Goats are a focus now, birds will be later, then it will be a Shanon Shed… it’s always changing. That’s just life. I enjoy your “company” so whatever you share…. Blessings of Abundance in all that you need ❤

[@theagingbeginner]

What if you put them by girls and boys; maybe a pen apart or at least enough that they are not right next to each other. Put whethers in either pen. Maybe Jason and Brooke from Cog Hill Farm would need a breeding buck or baby goatlets. Great job with the yard you two, looking great. I couldn't help but see that Spruce is drying up nicely and almost ready to have a very small weight loss 😁😁

[@maubismith2670]

I would suggest finding people close to your area so you are able to visit them, I would suggest Mario and Luigi go together because they have been brought up together. I would also suggest to fence,(sire or electrical) off different areas of the land release the hens and the goats together because they get along.The chickens can clean the bugs and the goats can clean the weeds. Which gives you guys the chance to cut down more trees.

[@barbarashotts5598]

The hole that Herc is making by the gate if you put chicken wire down first then drit. it will stop him from digging right there. ❤ Everyone that I know that has a buck, has made a buck pen so they can breed their goats at the same time so they don't have babies in the dead of summer or in the cold winter months. All bucks are the same. but you guys know what you need to do for you farm. Best of luck on finding them a great home.❤❤

[@WNCBlueRidgeBlondie1]

Try putting Luigi in with Mario. Goats are herd animals and want to have companions. I know that Mario is very food driven, but with all that pasture Luigi should be fine. Spruce can go over there eventually too. I agree, sell the baby boys, but I would try word of mouth, not Craig's list. The thing is, people who are interested in breeding goats are interested in more than "pretty colors". Love y'all...

[@jodiedillehay8845]

Look at how interested Luigi is while Kyles talking about filling in that hole herc dug lmao he’s all into Kyle there 😂😂😂 so cute

[@mountainladytn]

I love Spruce, Blue and her babies and Mama and her coming babies. Blue's babies would be a great breed of goats to raise. Also, since Chad has her sister, it would be hard to separate the family. I know you love your big boys too, so it's a hard decision. I would keep the moms and their babies, along with Spruce. That's me❤

[@barbscarrow7300]

Great job Kyle & Shanon. The yard looks good. With the goats you two will make the right decision ❤️🇨🇦

Kyle and Shannon you're sure making the property look so nice. I can relate to that there's never enough time in the day to finish everything. We purchased our property in February and have had a construction zone on our house since. 6 months later and we're packing to move as of this weekend. For the last 6 months I have been at our country property 4 days a week and at our city property 3 days a week. I will tell you packing a bag and moving between the properties has been a struggle. We had a set back this last week when I broke a tooth eating broccoli! 🤷🤦 Yeppers, I was trying to eat healthy and get into better shape. I broke the tooth on Monday and by Thursday when the dentist had an opening it had gotten infected. I had 3 teeth pulled and part of the jawbone removed. Just being gone a whole week has set me back on keeping our grass cut. We've been fighting poison ivy and oak too. So far I have been lucky not to get it but you should see the pictures I have of the vines taking over one of our outbuildings. The vines are about 5-6 inches in diameter and they stretch over 20 feet up the back of the building. I have ordered the materials to build our pens for our soon to be goat enclosure and have already been delivered. Now our search begins to find some goats for our 9 year old grandson that has Asperger's (autism). He already has done the research on how to take care of goats, chickens and rabbits and is ready to get them all. I finally have him convinced we can't get a Dolphin or a penguin for our pond that it's not the proper place for them to live. 😂 Anyhow I sure enjoy every video and my grandson watches every video too. He's excited to start his little farm. Thank You both for sharing your life with us. Much Love from our family to your family 💞

[@monicapaluski2512]

If you want to still keep Mario, you cant band him, but you could have him neutered. You would have to do your research on it however.
