This kind of shave in the back area is called a sanitary cut and is quite common on farms. The hair holds debris and odors. The milk should be better now. Good job!
Best thing to get the best goat milk flavor is always wash the teats before connecting milking machine. Also, a practice my granny always used was to filter the milk, immediately after milking, through a single layer white cotton sheet fabric which she boiled and air dried daily. You guys are on top of it. Your goats are lucky critters to be yours, with such diligent and thoughtful care. Tip: if the goats have eaten wild onions, their milk can be used to make the best, onion flavored goat cheese! 🥰
Goatwalk. 😂 Shaving animals is tedious, The girls are really behaving good. :) Thank you for jet again bringing a smile to me. :) Spooky is my fave I think. She is simply adorable. :)
Those are swallows. We used to have them on our farm in South Africa. They fly all the way to Europe in our winter, and always return to the same nest, for years. Considered good luck when they choose you as their home. But you already have the storks 😊
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your life on the 🚜 farm . . . The 2 of you bring so much JOY 😊 too alot of people ...💞😍💞 ... ALL THE BEST AS ALWAYS 💞💟💞
Hi guys...love the way you have great respect for your goats. In return can see they love you . But was thinking they love climbing. If possible could you build them a mountain of rocks to climb on. Cheers Ruth Perth W.A
Yes you can add about 1/3 alcohol 2/3 water about 10 drops of tea tree or essential oil to a spray bottle. It will kill the bacteria and the oil will smell good. Good job. They probably feel cooler now too. 😀
It is a swallow. The birds are found around the world on all continents, including occasionally in Antarctica. They are extremely agile in flight and spend most of their time on the wing. They are widespread breeding birds in the Northern Hemisphere, migrating south in winter.
Hi , I watch several channels that have goats and cows and they all just use warm water with sope then a clean towel with just warm water to clean the udders.
I've seen a couple channels that have the milk can on ice packs to startvit chilling right away. They're reasoning us it will smell and taste goaty if not chilled fast enough.
I would cut the hair away from the udder area, so it can stay clear for milking, always wash the udders before milking & your milk should be fine, do you boil it before drinking? 🥰🥰💖💖💐💐
I'm so amazed with how you are always getting things done around your place regardless of how you may not be knowledgeable but Always willing to give it a try!! You did a fantastic job with the goats and they will be a lot happier with their trim! Doing the alcohol mix you can still add a little bit of tea tree oil or lavender oil to it . Hope to see the barn swallow with her babies and hopefully she won't be dive bombing you & your animals!
I love watching people who's first language is not English. When I hear the term shave the sheep, I see a barber with a cut throat or razor, shaving cream, a persons face and/or his/her legs. So when the guys say they shaved the sheep, I see in my minds eye the the sheep covered in soap and a razor. In Australia we shear the sheep or trim the around the udders with a trimmer. When I never shave, I trim my beard.
Love your videos. Have you ever seen Weed 'em & Reap on TH-cam? They have a small homestead and goats. They have many things on milking, shaving goats, making cheese from goats milk and so on. Many useful tips. Keep up all the good work. I never miss your videos. ❤️
Hi Dessy and David. Goat salon.....they are so good. Sanitary cut, you'll notice a difference. Shallows nesting,beautiful they will be back each year. Stay safe,enjoyed your video.
Wen I first started grooming my dog because of lockdown I think what I learnt was don't be scared of the shaver...you have the black attachment on so you can't cut it to short...well done...
I've been watching every video of yours since you moved into the house. I remember that moment when you saw the house for the first time in winter. Today I had a fascinating dream, I dreamed about your wedding where I was a guest... xD The wedding was beautiful in the open air, among fields and animals! Maybe I don't comment often, but I support and appreciate you a lot. :)
Barn Swallow is the bird with the split tail. They are beautiful to watch in flight. Your videos have made me fall in love with goats. They are so much like dogs! Smart, playful, affectionate… thanks for sharing all your work with them. 😊 And I have a question about the goats: do they have hair, or fur? I never really thought about it before watching this video.
Be sure to keep checking the shaver to make sure it does not get hot and burn them. Also shave with the direction of the hair. This keep the hair from looking choppy. You might watch some dog and or goat grooming videos. Those tips helped me when I was shaving my Shih tzu.
I think shaving their rear end is healthy for that breed of goat too, less flies and muck. My aunt used to keep goats of that type (the exact copies of the one with dark coat and horns, maybe Lima?) and they used to shear them with these shears made for sheep so the goats ended up looking like they went through a blow drier every summer😂 But they enjoyed it visibly and looked quite proud of their hairdos
Here in the United States we call that bird a Barn swallow. When she has babies she will dive bomb you chattering at you want you to leave. They can be a real pain. You have to admire a mama bird for being so protective.
05:00 - That music remembers me of a TV spot. Name of the brand was: Choco crossis haha. But i love that type of music and you will hear it very often in my home.
"The Goat Walk" tickled me!! Shaving the goats: You have a good system figured out there. Can the goat hair be used to make paint brushes? Like you guys have time for that. 😉
Do you prime the teats prior to attaching the milking machine? Get a stream of milk first is what I mean to ask? I so enjoy watching your videos. You are both so refreshing and enthusiastic to watch. Your geese are so funny. And so are your goats.
It’s in this video actually but it’s very short so you probably missed it, David squirted milk before he attached the machine on one of the goats🙂 They most likely do that with all the goats but don’t always film everything.
All the clippers are the same machine. The only difference is the picture on the box and the length of the cord. The oil is just mineral oil. There is a spray to keep blade cool while cutting. In USA is called pool lube it just cools, it does not lube. Buy a clipper with a heavier cord.
Goats are looking nice again after the shavingsession, i dont like goatmilk ore goatcheece it is always kindoff smelly to me and the taste is not my cup off tea, but it is healthyer than cowmilk.
Toggenburg and Oberhasi breeds of goats tend to have off tasting milk. Not sure what breed yours are tho. 😊 Also if they don't have access to good quality loose minerals, made for goats, it can cause milk to taste bad.
Thos are barn swallows I think they migrate from africa in early summer to bread. They make nests in man made structures. They lay 3 to 7 eggs If attached to a wall or beam, the nest is half-cup shaped.
It is not just a trim to clear the udder of hair. Animals with unshaved rear ends are susceptible to 'fly strike'. Open wounds and soiled hair attracts flies who lay their eggs there. Maggots hatch. Not nice at all. The sheep would be more likely to have this problem if rear ends are not shaved.
The flavor of milk in goats is largely a genetic factor. Some goats just produce more smelly strong milk than others. If you are wanting to drink the milk, you should keep the goats that produce the best flavored milk AND their daughters.
Hair on animals serves a purpose keeps them cool in hot days and keeps them warm at nite also flys can't get to the skin so I was just wondering why ya shaved her everywhere .
This kind of shave in the back area is called a sanitary cut and is quite common on farms. The hair holds debris and odors. The milk should be better now. Good job!
No odor from our goats. Hair or no hair.
The bird is a barn swallow and very good to have!
They eat bugs and flies. When it is flying around, it’s catching bugs.
Remember to keep the cutter well oiled while using. There’s a certain oil to be used for this. If you don’t it will over heat and stop working. 👍
You have a nice system going !!
What’s next ? Is Deivid going to open a barbershop 💈??? 😳🤣
Good job 👍
The goats need something to play on, a seesaw and tree stumps to just jump around on etc, they will love it.

Disinfect the blades between each goat. No need to spread any bugs. Keep the shaver well oiled.
The bird looked like a Swallow and the nest looked like the swallow nests we have here. Great job with the goats🥰
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your life on the 🚜 farm . . .
The 2 of you bring so much JOY 😊 too alot of people ...💞😍💞 ... ALL THE BEST AS ALWAYS 💞💟💞
The bird is called a swallow, we have had the same family line for forty years, they come back every year, have babies and go again.
Hi guys...love the way you have great respect for your goats. In return can see they love you . But was thinking they love climbing. If possible could you build them a mountain of rocks to climb on.

You have to use clipper oil on the clippers.
The other clipper are probably still good. Just a few drops on the blade. 😊
Yes you can add about
1/3 alcohol
2/3 water
about 10 drops of tea tree or essential oil to a spray bottle.
It will kill the bacteria and the oil will smell good.

dont get rid of the fur , put it in a bird feeder as the birds will use it to line they're nests for the winter
its the same for cat fur after you brush evie
I learn so much from reading other viewers comments. I hope you take them with Grace.

Aww, you have a swallow nest. They are so cute and precious. I love swallows. Only in the country will you see them.
This is different seeing you guys shave goats 🐐 before. It's cute to see the little bird 🐦 😍 with eggs 🥚 in the nest
Wen I first started grooming my dog because of lockdown I think what I learnt was don't be scared of the shaver...you have the black attachment on so you can't cut it to short...well done...
Did you ever think of making soap with the goat milk? Your goats are so cute
You are treading your animals with so much love and respect, I love it. 😍 🥰

Barn swallow. Or purple Martin. They are experts catching mosquitoes. Luck to have them.
The bird looks like a Swallow! They often nest in barns!
Hair cut for the goats nice👍

I just love seeing you both have such a calm life. Busy but, you work together so well.
Love the bird nest❤️

happy goats
By love you guys
Brilliant job so funny
Your Adventures are Endless!
omg! "cat walk!" that was sooooo funny
Get a good pair of Sheep Shears.
05:00 - That music remembers me of a TV spot. Name of the brand was: Choco crossis haha. But i love that type of music and you will hear it very often in my home.
Are you milking the teats clean before milking tgem. Sometimes debree can be in the teat area.
Hello Deivids and Despina 😀
Baby wipes work well for cleaning udders.
Nice move! Their cute goat tails will be even cuter!
What do you do with all your milk?
Shearing the goats. They are then shorn. People are shaved, animals are shorn. Cheers, good vlog as always
"The Goat Walk" tickled me!!
Shaving the goats: You have a good system figured out there. Can the goat hair be used to make paint brushes? Like you guys have time for that. 😉
What are you going to do with all the milk?
They live in a small village/ community so probably also going to neighbours as they always share things with them? ( older video's) 👋🙂🇳🇱
You did a great job
You are both doing a great job. The goats are cute, do you use the milk yourself? Have a wonderful day. Mary Ann from Pennsylvania,US
Do you prime the teats prior to attaching the milking machine? Get a stream of milk first is what I mean to ask?

Interesting episode this one
Is the bird a swallow? :D
It's a barn swallow...they have mud nest..have split tails
Toggenburg and Oberhasi breeds of goats tend to have off tasting milk. Not sure what breed yours are tho. 😊
Also if they don't have access to good quality loose minerals, made for goats, it can cause milk to taste bad.
Its the rear and udder area that you shave for milking. I always go against the grain of hair growth.
Avete un nido di rondini. Le rondini portano fortuna è tutti gli anni ritornano.
birds are called swallows. they migrate from South Africa and UK
What will you make with it????
Bird is a barn swallow I believe.
Not a bad job, But I think you should watch a you tube video on how to trim a goats hair and utter . The little bird is called a Barn Swallow.

What do you do with the hair?
Thos are barn swallows I think they migrate from africa in early summer to bread. They make nests in man made structures. They lay 3 to 7 eggs If attached to a wall or beam, the nest is half-cup shaped.
You have barn swallows. They love insects!
Do you wash and sell the goat hair, you should

Gloves maybe?
Your bird might be a barn swift ...in US that's what we called them
Why not use sheep shears.
🌟👍🍀💐💐
The bird is a barn swallow
never saw people shaving goats around where i live
does each goats milk taste different
you need sheep shears
The goats udder needs to be shaved. This will keep the milk cleaner and be less hair in the milk.
can you sell goats hair like sheep wool
It's called a barn swallow.
Hair on animals serves a purpose keeps them cool in hot days and keeps them warm at nite also flys can't get to the skin so I was just wondering why ya shaved her everywhere .
I immediately thought of a punk haircut for a goat. i.e. bald on the sides and backcombed on the top! p.s. think the bird is a swallow.

👁️✝️🛐👁️🕯️🍞💧🌡️😠🌋🌪️👀👂🙏⏳, Thank You, Farmers work is never done, Thank You for bringing me along, o, how are the flowers and plants doing ?
Maybe scissor cut the long hair and then shave them
