Those babies have such beautiful eyes. Brooke that is so wonderful that you are willing to help those little one, rather than euthanize them

[@merisehetherington9785]

They make formula for baby goats.

[@ElizabethFinn-kt7ye]

What a effort,Jason must be glad he married such a good farmer!

[@juliasilvrants9556]

Triplets all hungry at same time is a challenge. You are a great human mom. Hope meds and machine help FeFe. You are making a great decision on retirement for FeFe.

[@Susan-n3o3e]

Those baby goats are adorable. They just tickles me the way the other animals peek through to watch them. How sweet.❤️

[@darleneparker6111]

Brooke, Please don't get frustrated. Your goat milking journey is its own adventure. While this is a learning experience for you, it is an educational one for your viewers.

[@dotnorton6569]

Brooke, as a dairy farmer's daughter, i have hand milked many of cows and it can be quite tasking on the hands. You are doing everything correctly for the health and comfort of the mamas and babies.❤

[@fondadeen1164]

Thank you Katherine for trying the help Phefe

[@ritamulloy3522]

The curiosity for the babies from the donkeys warms my heart ❤❤

[@Chatty_Cathy24]

Thank you for being so caring and loving. God bless you all at Cog Hill Farm!

[@KAStodgell]

You’re a good goat Momma Brook. Glad the cat is helping. Catherine is awesome. I have several auto immunes…..changes your life. No need to make excuses. It’s reality.

[@carolb3946]

Ditto to all the "thank yous" below!! It was great to have Catherine help with the milking machine!

[@brendawilliams7836]

The baby goats are adorable!

[@reneebrown2968]

Brooke just so you know, that Milker uses suction so once it's on it won't come off until turned off.

[@venidamcdaniel1913]

I know MaryCarl will be more than happy to help you with that chore. Everybody will get the treat of baby goat love. So glad that you will now be able to to order a bigger cup. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@brindlebailey]

Many thanks to Katherine at G&G Farm for helping out! Curtis, Laura, and 'Ol Red Will grow up big and strong with all the hand feeding and love that they're getting. ❤️ I hope your milking machine arrives quickly to help you out, Brooke.

[@territrombley8273]

Those sweet babies are so adorable and so very lucky to have a human momma and daddy that love them and will take care of whatever they need. Sometimes “it takes a village.” ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mrstukutela5126]

The babies are so sweet, precious and innocent. Thank you for being so caring and loving. God bless you all at Cog Hill Farm!

[@suecronmiller5828]

Thank you Brooke for sharing your day with me 😊🫂💝

[@salvdb8815]

1 Corinthians 4:2 ESV - Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. You are true stewards and such beautiful people, God Bless you!! That is why your animals and the farm thrive.

[@tannikahaulelio7925]

My weather alerts keep going off for tornado watches in your area. I am praying for all of you and praying that the watch doesn't turn into a warning. So worried for nuggo and his family. You are such a good mama. Y'all take care❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@WarmFuzzyVibes]

Brooke, please know that you are doing your best and ordering the machine is just that! And, thankyou to Catherine of G&G Farm for giving your larger breed goat a try on her machine! You never know til you try! I love y'all! 😊

[@LindaSpringer-rh9xx]

You have a great handle on this Brooke. Those babies will thrive with your help, whether it’s with formula or Capri milk. You have this. ❤

[@ourmontanahomestead8880]

That is the sweetest picture of you feeding those babies with the bottle! ❤ And you guys are so lucky to have such wonderful friends nearby!

[@jackiedunlap36]

Yes! Using Capris milk for the other kids! Wonderful. ❤

[@leann4925]

So excited about the baby goats. Brooke your doing the best that you can of which is awesome. Aunt Jessie missed her calling and has emotional feelings. Thank you Catherine as I know that there is different types of machines now. Very educational and thanks Brooke.

[@lindahinds8388]

I'm sorry to here about the issues with Phe Phe utters. When you mention you had arthritis in your hands it made me question if your hands could hold up. I also have severe arthritis in both hands so I get it. Happy to hear that you ordered the milking machine to help both moms. You and Jason always do what is best for your animals, even if isn't going to go as you had planned or wanted. You two are the BEST!

[@bevr2164]

They are so sweet....❤❤❤ Them. Laura, Little Red, and Curtis Oh my gracious ❣️

[@fatladyfarmer2025]

Oreo and Double Stuff, that's cute. You should keep those names. And I take maloxicam for my arthritis and it helps a lot. Hope it works for your girl.

[@rhodarapp3795]

Brooke you do what works for you and the goats, no judgement here. You take wonderful care of your girls…boys to! ❤️🌻

[@lisahicks4697]

I think we just fell deeper in love awe whatever with you an them babies Brooke I don't know you but I feel I do thanks , don't be sad you are a awesome lady with a health concern but you are fighting its teaches us all not to give up much much love hugs an prayers , hug Mildred the beauty queen

[@juliepippin8710]

Do the best you can, Brooke. That's all you can do. You have such a sweet way with your goats, and we know you're going to help the mommas as best as possible. ❤

[@galady8632]

So much baby goat goodness! 5 baby goats and soon baby Emus! Exciting times! (I'm not forgetting the baby ducks and geese.) Brooke, I appreciate your thorough explanations of situations you share. You are helping people that haven't experienced farm life to learn so much via your videos and Jason's. Educational, informative and entertaining = perfection!

[@theresasuttle711]

So very glad the babies took to the bottle! The machine may be the ticket to helping momma get through this! So happy to see them again! Just love farm babies.

[@wendywobbles1]

I for one know that you are not making excuses Brooke, I have a similar condition and it's difficult enough to everyday chores let alone putting strain on your hands and arms let alone your back , keep up the good work lovely lady you are doing great

[@danitakersten345]

Brooke, we all learn from experience and move forward. Well done:

[@angelraburn4401]

Brooke we all have things we wish we would have done. Hindsight is always as they say 20/20. If we could only vision the future but we WITHOUT A DOUBT know you do all you can and the safety and well being of each and every animal and human on the farm is paramount to you, Jason, and Mary Carl. Please don’t feel the need to explain. I know there are commenters and so on .. they don’t live and experience your farm. We love and support you as you ❤️

[@carringtonkelleybirnie4569]

you're a beauty, Brooke. always looking for the kindest, non invasive, best way to take care of all your animals. Mama goats are in the best hands ever, as you work to solve the problem with the udder. ❤

[@Stephanie-y4y1o]

They're all cute but Little Red is particulary handsome.

[@paulinetait125]

Love watching the babies take the bottle they are so beautiful. I had to watch this more then one time❤️❤️❤️

[@kathleenroman9379]

You know you can build something to hold all the bottles to feed all the babies at once. It’s easier on you, too! Good job, substitute goat mama! TYTY for sharing! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️

[@PKOriginals]

But you loose the binding time using a bottle holder. I bottle fed quads and thoroughly enjoyed holding each one and feeding it.

[@deniseharris9363]

Hang in there Brooke! Don’t beat yourself up! You’ve been doing EVERYTHING you could all along the way for success! You could not have foreseen these issues! You’ll work it out and I KNOW all of your animals will thrive in the process!! Love you♥️♥️♥️

[@elizabethharttley4073]

Brooke, you understand best what you can do. The desire to do right by the kids is the core of animal husbandry. Getting the udders drained is important for the mama's health. The lessons for everyone are also gifts, so thank you. Carry on ❤

[@TeresaWashenberger]

Katherine is a beautiful soul, just like you are and a wonderful friend to try to help you out. Don't beat yourself up for not being able to predict the future. Everyone knows you only do what is best for your animals and their health and comfort comes first. It will all work out.

[@nancyl3843]

God bless you Brooke. Your efforts are more than commendable. Truly, you are an angel.

[@peggybowe5556]

Hopefully your machine arrives quickly to give the Mama some relief. Such precious babies, as all of your animals are.

[@peacockgrandma]

Im so glad you are being a good farmer to your babies and not just making the lazy excuse, I'll just let nature.. . You are loving, kind, and wonderful farmers to your animals. Thank you.

[@johngundrum8242]

Vickie here. Sorry Fifi is having so much trouble nursing the kids. I am glad you sre able to supplement and I am happy Capri has plenty of milk for her babies and to have enough for Fifi's little ones to have some of hers too. Hoping Fifi is better soon. God bless you for all you have done snd are doing to save Fifi's little ones. ❤❤

[@SuzA8110]

Don't kick yourself! You have done a great job. Just a few months ago they didn't even know what the stand was and now they are comfortable letting you milk them. That's just fantastic! I hope you are having fun with those kids, they are ADORABLE!!!

[@ginacurtis1702]

You take good care of your animals. Brooke you got this. Its not the first time you had to be a Mommy

[@judithrivin2031]

Learning so much about goats. Phephe and her babies are getting all the help possible thanks to you. Bless you

[@catfromillinois6646]

Hang in there Brooke, you are doing a wonderful job for your babies. It will all work out, look at the bright side, like you said you may get to milk by hand again after you get the utters down. In the meantime, you get to feed the "little ones", what a blessing and such a joy to be able to do. Have a great day! 🥰

[@csnanny1882]

Those baby goats are the most beautiful I have ever seen.looks like they will get plenty of milk .

[@blkmjcwmn61]

You look so happy feeding those babies! It's a shame Fifi can't nurse them....poor Mama! You had no way of knowing that this would happen.

[@patriciasiefert7140]

Thank you G&G! You have very nice friends!

[@EchoBillie]

Sheepishly Me. Sandi Brock has a hand held pump she uses for enlarged teets. Would not hurt to have one on hand. She then pours it straight into a bottle. When the sheep are down, it comes in handy. Sandi Brock has great info for saving babies as well. ❤ Be safe, be well.

[@pamsmith9541]

Plantago major, peppermint oil, coconut oil . Crush plantago and peppermint into a small pot. Add coconut oil (or coconut butter) and simmer on low for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Fill salve tins. Massage into entire bag and teat area once a day after feeding kids. Plantago is a drawing herb with amazing healing properties. It is also antimicrobial and antifungal. Peppermint is a soothing herb that helps relax tissue.

[@DonnaLightfoot]

That milking machine is going to be a life saver for you ! Hopefully it comes soon! All those babies are so precious! Much love frm Ks ❤️ 💕

[@paulasweeney7358]

Brooke, when you said double-stuff, I thought 'and some'mores! You couldn't have guessed, Brooke, and my hands ached just watching you.

[@SUZYRIDE]

Brooke - you’re doing great! ❤ No defeats just lessons and more intel to pivot. Great idea to have Catherine try her machine 👍🏼

[@faithrada]

Brooke Brooke Brooke.. .Please do not be kicking yourself. The Learning process you've been going through has been invaluable to all those you share with. Life... it's what happens while we're making other plans. 😊 Great Job!

[@JJ.LovesAnimals]

Capri surprised you with delivering them so quickly... Poor Fifi! Hope you resolve the problem quickly... My Sookie 🐕 was bottle fed with goat milk..Shes 2 years old now & still loves goat milk.. Goat milk is the universal milk for all babies.. Good luck mama Brooke.. ❤️🙏🙋🏼‍♀️🐈🐕

[@merisehetherington9785]

I’m lactose intolerant and in ‘59 my mom used goat milk for me, too.

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

My whole family is having a FIT of GIGGLES over not having the right "cup size" for Fifi....lol!

[@nannykat1057]

Salt & Pepper ... SOOOOOOO adorable!!! BIG HUGS from Texas! 🤠🤠

[@moda78z]

Auntie Mildred’s gonna have 5 babies jumping on her! 🥰🤣😍

[@mhale-mi9iy]

Good call guys. U got to do what u got to do.

[@reginashelton3754]

We had 7 mamas this year and 3 with congested udders. I had read that high doses of vitamin C and lots of massaging help. I bought human vitamin C gummies and am giving 1,000 milligrams daily and after 3 days they are soft and hand milkable! I had tried everything, hot Epsom salt compresses, massaging with tea tree, lavender oil in coconut oil. But the best thing was the vitamin C! It's so frustrating, but you got this! Love your channel!

[@merisehetherington9785]

Great Tip!

[@l.m.4014]

> Vitamin C is vital to the body's healing process. > Cool > Vitamin C gummies > 1,000 milligrams daily > Easy.

[@dianesmith2480]

Once it’s the right size, I think it’ll be great for her! It probly feels good to her, I think! A nice massage! Fefe’s bag is huge! They are all adorable ❣️

[@bettymcbryar208]

Good morning Brooke! What a blessing to have 5 new babies. You're doing a great job. It was nice to see Katherine at CH. Thank God for good friends. Good luck with helping PheePhee and feeding the triplets.

[@dreamcatcher3861]

Oh bless you Brooke, you’re such a beautiful soul. Your love for your animals is so tangible, you’re a wonderful caring goat mum. Don’t give yourself a hard time for not being able to do what you really want to with Fifi and Capri, you’re precious, never forget that. 🙏🏻✨

[@Orca2019]

Hello Brooke. You look so comfortable sitting there feeding the three goatlets. I sure hope the milking machine comes in quickly.

[@osmadchlo]

Well, Brooke, you didn't know. After all, it seemed like the cream was really working well. Now that the machine is coming you'll be prepared for any further issues in the future.❤

[@marycoker99]

Good Thursday morning, Brooke. You are amazing. You take such great care of the baby goats and momma goats. ❤

[@johngundrum8242]

That is what I was trying to say! ❤

[@mdolanot]

So glad you have such a good friend in Catherine at G&G Farm. You did learn what size to buy.

[@janiceaucoin1435]

You have your hands full, Brooke... literally. ❤

[@terryhenderson424]

Thank you Ms Catherine of G&G. Bringing thst milking machine showed Ms Brooke what she neefs to look for on her first order.

[@stephenullman4534]

My goodness, those babies are so cute! You work so hard Brooke. God bless you. You're a good momma to those babies. The machine at this point is just necessary. Solid decision to get the machine. You're doing everything right! I'm so proud of you and Jason. God bless!

Sorry girl don't keep worry about what you didn't know was ahead. We are praying for you

[@janmckeever9860]

Have you used the milk you already saved from Fifi? The milk you froze in case Capri needed it. They are all so precious. I just love baby goats.

[@jamieevans-wk7it]

I've learned it is a relief to accept our physical limitations and use all the helpful tools that are out there to assist us. Grace to you.

Your a good goat mommy . Bless you for doing everything you can

[@ednahartnett7407]

Great video Brook..so educational for me...and the love is just everywhere which makes it so enjoyable to watch...Thank you for the great video.❤️

[@gemmaswain2251]

I always wondered how PhePhe would manage, with 3 babies. I'm glad she has you to help out with supplementary feedings. I'm so sorry about her udder issues, but she still makes a good Mama.

[@merisehetherington9785]

Her teats have always been much larger.

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

I pretty much figured Fifi's babies would need to be bottle fed. I'm glad to see the babies are getting the best care from you guys!❤

[@januk7725]

i just love baby goats they are truly adorable the way they gamble about having fun, it's good to see Catherine i watch her also

[@peggyblack1739]

I love seeing you feed the babies.

[@cathychamberlain4452]

Brooke & Jason I am still hoping & looking forward to the emu’s emergence from their big green eggs. Multiple emu’s!! Baby goats are cute- they will be jumping all over soon! Thanks for your openness, sharing & caring!

[@patriciabonitz5758]

I really enjoy your channel. As for milking and feeding the babies it a learning experience for you as it for us and when things work out you feel you have accomplished something that will improve the utter problem. I love those little babies and it's neat watching them on the bottle. I guess it's the mother in us. You are a real charm Brooke. 😊❤❤❤

[@dorothybrogden3523]

God bless you Brooke! You're doing the very best that you can. I can understand totally what you're going through because I too have autoimmune disease. Some days are really hard and on those days we just have to slow down and let our bodies rest! Take care of yourself! ❤🙏🏻

[@wabbit4554]

Poor FeeFee was bred knowing she had that bad utter. I hope she feels better on the meds and the 3 babies thrive.
