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

[@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.❤

[@Chatty_Cathy24]

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

[@user-qi4ks2cp3d]

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

[@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.

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.

[@carolb3946]

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

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 ❤️

[@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! 😊

[@rhodarapp3795]

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

[@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.” ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@ritamulloy3522]

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

[@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. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@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!

[@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. ❤❤

[@kathleenlucht1921]

That was awfully swell of Kathryn to help you. Thank you, Ma’am 🌹I so appreciate your videos. It’s like being with family. I love you all. 🌹

[@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❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@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.

[@moda78z]

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

[@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♥️♥️♥️

[@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.

[@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!

[@nancyl3843]

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

[@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. ❤

[@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.

[@user-pn1vs7wu8k]

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

[@csnanny1882]

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

[@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.

[@ginacurtis1702]

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.❤

They make formula for baby goats.

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.

[@Orca2019]

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

[@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! ❤🙏🏻

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

Getting a milking machine is a good move. You never know what your energy levels will be at from one day to the next. And some goats actually do better on a machine! The important thing is that the babies are well fed and the mama's are comfortable.💖💖💖

[@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!

[@wabbit4554]

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

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

[@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! 🥰

[@julieterry118]

WELL GOOD MORNING BROOKE. THOSE BABY GOATS HAVE NO PROBLEM LETTING YOU FEED THEM. I THINK BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN HANDS ON SINCE THEIR BIRTH HAS MADE A DIFFERENCE ❤❤❤

[@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.

[@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!

[@maschellewaits1161]

You are such a great momma, seeing 👀 you feeding the babies is so precious. Katherine milking machine will be great. Bless you all

[@jeaniLovesAnimals]

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.. ❤️🙏🙋🏼‍♀️🐈🐕

I am immune deficient.I only have 3 normal immune subclasses out of 12.Have a blessed day.Children,and animals make my days happy.

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

It doesn't matter how the milk gets out, it's that the milk gets out, as long as you make sure those babies have milk that's all that counts. And you're looking after those babies wonderfully.

Girl, milking goats or cows is not easy. It’s building muscle in your hands. Don’t feel bad at all

[@reneebrown2968]

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

[@skyz3160]

Those little babies in their mind will have two Mama's ! They'll be just like gentle Mildred.

[@carollang6090]

We never let babies ruin a Momma's utter. We raised goats and Holstein. Babies were off the Momma's within 48 hrs, depending upon the health of the calf. If you don't have healthy utters you don't have a dairy. We milked both by machine, and finished off by hand. You always do what is in the best interest of the animals in your care.

[@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.
