I am so excited for all the girls to deliver new babies, but most all I'm so happy for Ruger and Rae!!! It has been difficult to be patient and now they will get their turn to be Mama Goat!!! We❤🔵🌵🍶🐐s!!! Stay safe!!
I finally know that Honey has the honey colored tail, thanks to this video I can tell them apart, well at least from behind. 😆 A small tip for breeding season baths, Dawn works best when diluted with water. Meaning additional water in the bottle will be magical. That is one reason it works so well for cleaning wildlife after an oil spill. 💜
Or a video of who is still in the herd and who left? And how you chose the does you kept and why some left? I just think it would be really fun and knowledgeable! Just some ideas.
Yes please....it would be nice to know why you pick the pairing you do with the sires and dams. Things you are trying to improve. trying for naturally polled? those types of "deep thoughts" help us armchair goat herders understand the thought process. Thanks Crystal!
I told you Anna was telling the goats that Mom said go, go!!! I think taking the baby girls to the show as Juniors and see if they can get Champion legs, would be awesome to continue to the Obie line. That would give them a extra leg up when they start really showing.
I am about 3/4 deaf so when you put the little purple sections on, I thought it was pieces of ham. No I’m not drinking, taking medicine or anything else. Yep ham❤
Goat ice cube trays for sample soap bundles so we can discover our favorites!! They each can have a “goat collar” with what soap they are…..just a thought….
I love how curious and loving Bessie is. It was too cute watching her putting her foot on you trying to get your attention while you were talking to the camera lol. Reminds me of that Family Guy episode where Stewie is trying to get his mom's attention and is saying "mom, mom, mom, mommy," over and over again 😂
Hi Crystal! I am sitting watching this video. Get a good laugh ar the other goats. In my head talk for them. Thinking Dinky and Betsy and Wiley are trying to help you compare their width to thr ones who haven’t freshen since the are all trying to show us fans their backends. also. They are like tell everyone about me.
Beautiful job Crystal. It is so Calming watching u work this Art. I luv it. U r so Fortunate that ur husband is such an Artist coming through with All sorts of Tools that u can use in ur Artistry. I appreciate it Entire Family Learning, and Discovering Together. Thank u so much for sharing with us. Keep it Pushing!
I love all your soaps. But oh my goodness that top on this one is a wowzer! And I don't like pink, so that's saying something. ;D Well done. Keep up all the hard work!
Excellent job on being so informative about your breeding experience. I really enjoy listening to your videos, yes I am a newbie, BUT a happy newbie, for tuning into your channel allows me to learn a whole lot on topics I am interested in. Thank you and I pray Our Father will continue to bless you and your family/business. Catchya later
Crystal, who will you be breeding Honey & Pepper to? Same buck or different bucks? They are definitely beautiful does & I look forward to seeing them freshen!!
The ladies are so plump and pretty! I love their tails when they grow out and look like a dust mop head! How's the temperature there now? I want to send you some more butter toffee if it isn't so hot the chocolate will melt! I want to send the goaties a sack of cookies too!
I LOVE the ending to this video more than any other previous videos you've done. Yes I love your goats and everything you're teaching and showing on your channel. But I am a bird lover first. I have birds of my own. Budgies, cockatiels and finches. And of course, I put out feed for the wildies. Absolutely love birds. can't get enough of them. Thank you for showing some of the sweet birdies you have there. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Crystal, the herd looks great! When you showed the twins, Honey and Pepper, I REALLY could see the development you were describing, compared to the younger does. The shiny coats and strong bone structure on your Girls is lovely. ---- I haven't watched for awhile, so I'm missing May. Where is she? October 1st is SATURDAY! Where did the year go?!
Great video. Love your goats. Love that you make soap from their milk. Love watching you make the soap too! I’m going to try to order your soap for my 3 daughters for Christmas. Blessings from Oklahoma Grandmother( meme).
Lodi is definitely still honorary and is still my 2 year old Mia favourite how is lidi. And my little Mia is 3 January 21st she’s been begging me for a goat she can name Mia as well lol so I said you have a little Mia so she’s happy now you and your family are amazing with your goats 🐐 x
Hoping you will make a peony and a rose soap soon ! I can't buy lavender scented soaps as I have copd and lavender is one of several scents that make it hard for me to breathe .
Love this video and the examples so that we can clearly see how you are making your determinations on which does to breed. If you were to measure the distance of your hand, what would you say the measurement would be thurl to thurl? 6" or 7"? Just curious as hand size differs from person to person.
Question: last year I thought you had said that you were going to stagger your breeding and put Ray and Ruger in the 2nd breeding so you had milk year round for your soap? Just curious why you ended up choosing not to.
I know you have been doing breeding the same for a while but have you considered doing things differently this year? There are those who say that if you want to try for more doe kids you should only leave the doe in with the buck for a few hours when she is in a standing heat. Considering that you have had so many bucklings the past few years I thought you might want to try something different. It would mean more work probably, but I don’t know, if it works might be worthwhile.
I thought you were doing two breedings this past year with Rae & Ruger to keep the milk coming? Did that plan change when you decided to thin down the herd?
Really looking forward to breeding season, it seems to have come around really quickly. That was really interesting information about the breeding schedule and how the fat accumulation makes it more difficult for a goat to breed. Although my baby making days are long gone, I reckon I must be a 🐐, I have huge problems shifting excess weight as well lol
Sooooooo.......love the soap you made!!!!! My latest baby I just had her name is actually..... Amira-Lee Sage because I am that witchy poo who loves loves lovesssssss white Sage! Hubby didn’t really wanna let me name her first name as Sage or Gypsy Sage so we compromised with Amira-Lee Sage hehe 💜💜
I would love to have one of Dreamer's or Dinky's offsprings. The problem is the other 11 condo owners in my building. They are so speciest. They only allow cats or dogs. No goats. Just one of the disadvantages with living in the DC suburbs. Bummer 🐐🐐🐐
Would love to buy soap from u but I have to be so careful. I am allergic to coconut and many other things. Most people use coconut oil and some nut oils when making their soaps so I can't use them.
I don't understand why you don't breed to younger two 2 months later - it's not perfect but plenty of cow people have a heifer herd, and cow herds that are breed and have babies at different times - 2023 season they go in to the breeding program with the main herd
I love little Anna. She such a good little herding dog. Every time I hear her barking it makes me smile because she’s working.
I love how Anna helps with the goats...:)
i swear Mia looks like a baby deer with her nose markings like that. shes so precious! excited to see the breeding pairs this year coming up!
I think so as well! Everytime I see her im reminded of a little deer
She looks a lot like Obie.
She knows them all by name & loves them all
Crystal is the right person for that job.❤❤❤❤
I am so excited for all the girls to deliver new babies, but most all I'm so happy for Ruger and Rae!!! It has been difficult to be patient and now they will get their turn to be Mama Goat!!! We❤🔵🌵🍶🐐s!!! Stay safe!!
Wow soon having new baby goat 🥰 nice yummy 😄😁 soap again .nah its beautiful soap
I finally know that Honey has the honey colored tail, thanks to this video I can tell them apart, well at least from behind. 😆 A small tip for breeding season baths, Dawn works best when diluted with water. Meaning additional water in the bottle will be magical. That is one reason it works so well for cleaning wildlife after an oil spill. 💜
Can you do a video of how and why you do the breeding pairings? Like why you put who with who?
Or a video of who is still in the herd and who left? And how you chose the does you kept and why some left? I just think it would be really fun and knowledgeable! Just some ideas.
Yes please....it would be nice to know why you pick the pairing you do with the sires and dams. Things you are trying to improve. trying for naturally polled? those types of "deep thoughts" help us armchair goat herders understand the thought process. Thanks Crystal!
Crystal I am so glad you treat your douse with respect
I love those goats!
I told you Anna was telling the goats that Mom said go, go!!! I think taking the baby girls to the show as Juniors and see if they can get Champion legs, would be awesome to continue to the Obie line. That would give them a extra leg up when they start really showing.
Hi from Safford love the goats just got my soap today can't Wait to use them
Excited to see the breeding pairs. Been keeping an eye out on Patreon for the plans. Loved hearing your thoughts on the juniors.
I am about 3/4 deaf so when you put the little purple sections on, I thought it was pieces of ham. No I’m not drinking, taking medicine or anything else. Yep ham❤
Cant believe it’s already time to start breeding this year has gone by sooooo past and Crystal I love your shirtt!!!! Those does are lookin good!
Beautiful Soap!! Have a Wonderful Week!! 😊⚘❤
Goat ice cube trays for sample soap bundles so we can discover our favorites!! They each can have a “goat collar” with what soap they are…..just a thought….
That’s a great idea!! That’s why I haven’t bought one yet, I don’t know which one to choose!
Great visuals! Thanks 😊
I am from Pakistan l am goat farmer and I love goats so much
Crystal that does are ready !!! Is already time for breading already. I'm so proud how honest you are and wait for Lia to breed her next year.
Anna is awesome helping with the goaties. She looks like she's so excited and having so much fun 😊
All of your goats are so beautiful
Great video
I love how curious and loving Bessie is. It was too cute watching her putting her foot on you trying to get your attention while you were talking to the camera lol.

I love your herding dog!
Thank you for the great education Cristal. I am already looking forward to many new baby goats. They will be as pretty and sweet as your mothers❤️🐐🐐❤️
The soap looks amazing! Great job, as usual ❤

I Love..Dreamer, Dinky and Bessie 🧡, Maybe my 🐈Tabby .Often my Hubby 💚
Really like how thorough you are with the goats and your process...thanks 👍✌️
Been thinking of trying to make soap. Rethinking because I tend to go slower and second and third guess myself. Maybe just one bar?
So excited to buy the fall soaps! The sage is my husband’s favorite 😊
I should be getting my first goat babies anytime. Im so excited for them. I'll finally start getting milk for my goat dairy!!!
Goats and soap looking good!
Super video! Thank you so much!
Crystal it's not sloppy you're doing really good you're taking your time better than what I can do
Crystal, who will you be breeding Honey & Pepper to? Same buck or different bucks? They are definitely beautiful does & I look forward to seeing them freshen!!
All that lush pasture this year has chunked the girls up a bit!
You guys have such beautiful sweet goats! They LOVE you! ❤️🥰 Happy goats !
I love the creativity you do w the soaps.all the patterns
Thank to you all. Are those finches at the end? Anyway love you all and take care. PS Crystal you are a great teacher,❤️👍🏼
Ridiculously funny how Maddie feels about you Crystal...lol, I mean... the LOOK she gave you.🤣
I know that look,haha! Don't even think about touching me.
Yes! That look was hilarious. She's definitely a little stinker lol. But at least she's Emily's little stinker
Thanks for showing the process Crystal!
Great video. I finally got to order my blue ice soap I'm so excited🤗🥰👍💙
I would love to see more of the bucks and breeding plans of who gets bred to who and why ❤
The ladies are so plump and pretty! I love their tails when they grow out and look like a dust mop head! How's the temperature there now? I want to send you some more butter toffee if it isn't so hot the chocolate will melt! I want to send the goaties a sack of cookies too!

Thank you for explaining what you look for in a breeding goat. God bless you from Michigan ❤️
Crystal, the herd looks great!

The shiny coats and strong bone structure on your Girls is lovely.
---- I haven't watched for awhile, so I'm missing May.
Where is she?
October 1st is SATURDAY!
Where did the year go?!
😇😇😇💜
Loved this video so much! I knew you could do it. Your so talented! Blessings from Oklahoma Grandmother ( Meme).
What about putting rubber flooring on the milking station
Great video. Love your goats. Love that you make soap from their milk. Love watching you make the soap too! I’m going to try to order your soap for my 3 daughters for Christmas. Blessings from Oklahoma Grandmother( meme).
OOOH first! First time ever!
I was just watching Weed'em and Reap and the video alert popped up...I couldn't believe it. I'm never first to see a video...until now...😁
@@LegendHold1 Omg same!
Lodi is definitely still honorary and is still my 2 year old Mia favourite how is lidi. And my little Mia is 3 January 21st she’s been begging me for a goat she can name Mia as well lol so I said you have a little Mia so she’s happy now you and your family are amazing with your goats 🐐 x

Your goats have great table manners🤣 Mine act like they haven't eaten in a week!
How long during the day do you allow the girls to browse?? Can they browse too much ??
My girl had her baby and he was a single it was her first time didn’t even know she was in labor 😮
Oh, wow. I bet that was scary. I hope she is doing well and didn't have too many difficulties.
@@keastonz She doing give it just took her a minute to get her placenta out but he is big and healthy and mommas doin h good!
mia looking just like may,bessie just like becky,tippee just like tanzie...as far as i remember those are their mothers r8
How old do you like for your bucks to be, for their first breeding?
Love this video and the examples so that we can clearly see how you are making your determinations on which does to breed. If you were to measure the distance of your hand, what would you say the measurement would be thurl to thurl? 6" or 7"? Just curious as hand size differs from person to person.
I adore Dinky.
Question: last year I thought you had said that you were going to stagger your breeding and put Ray and Ruger in the 2nd breeding so you had milk year round for your soap? Just curious why you ended up choosing not to.
She got rid of a lot of her herd earlier this year to make things easier for herself, so thats why plans have changed.
Have you tried juniper oil?
The soap can't be too thick or too thin to work. Sounds like it should be named Goldilocks soap 🐐🍃instead of sage bar soap.
Where is your milk stand gates at that Derek made
I know you have been doing breeding the same for a while but have you considered doing things differently this year? There are those who say that if you want to try for more doe kids you should only leave the doe in with the buck for a few hours when she is in a standing heat. Considering that you have had so many bucklings the past few years I thought you might want to try something different. It would mean more work probably, but I don’t know, if it works might be worthwhile.
What is the oil your using? I somehow haven’t heard. Thanks and enjoying all the videos.
I thought you were doing two breedings this past year with Rae & Ruger to keep the milk coming? Did that plan change when you decided to thin down the herd?
Mia is just gorgeous
Really looking forward to breeding season, it seems to have come around really quickly. That was really interesting information about the breeding schedule and how the fat accumulation makes it more difficult for a goat to breed. Although my baby making days are long gone, I reckon I must be a 🐐, I have huge problems shifting excess weight as well lol
what kind of goats??
Sooooooo.......love the soap you made!!!!! My latest baby I just had her name is actually.....
Amira-Lee Sage because I am that witchy poo who loves loves lovesssssss white Sage! Hubby didn’t really wanna let me name her first name as Sage or Gypsy Sage so we compromised with Amira-Lee Sage hehe 💜💜
I swear I missed it... Was Sky breed in the end?
breeding time is upon us looking forward to a new breeding time song written by derrek
I would love to have one of Dreamer's or Dinky's offsprings. The problem is the other 11 condo owners in my building. They are so speciest. They only allow cats or dogs. No goats. Just one of the disadvantages with living in the DC suburbs. Bummer 🐐🐐🐐
Who is the oldest out of your two kids that are still living with you guys?
Aaaaah maybe Leia will be ready by October end or November starting. Maybe you can put her then.
🙏💕👍💕❤️💪💕❤️🤩💯🥰🙏
I think that people who don't milk as often as they shouldn't be in the competition.
How can you remember all that your goat's names in the date of birth when they were born because I can't
Second!
Would love to buy soap from u but I have to be so careful. I am allergic to coconut and many other things. Most people use coconut oil and some nut oils when making their soaps so I can't use them.
I'm 3rd!!!
What happened to Lacey,Dawn and Sky??
Sky has been sold as a pet if I remember correctly. Dawn they ended up putting down. Didn’t hear about lacy
In a previous video didn't you talk about staggering your breedings so you didn't have to ask others for milk for your soap making business?
I thought that too. She could breed for winter milking.
Why not just breed those 2 like a month later than the others. That way you don't have to worry about waiting and them getting thick.
I don't understand why you don't breed to younger two 2 months later - it's not perfect but plenty of cow people have a heifer herd, and cow herds that are breed and have babies at different times - 2023 season they go in to the breeding program with the main herd
