    Hey Goat Lovers!! Hope you are all as excited for breeding day as the bucks are. They have been fighting non stop. Make sure you are subscribed because you don't want to miss the next video!

      2 of my 3 does are bred, In the last week. Waiting on the third one to come in. Then my little doe I retained from January thinks she should get to go visit the back too. (Nope too young still) haha

      I absolutely LOVE your videos and how much info you share!! For 5+ years the dream to own my own goats has been growing ever stronger and when it becomes a reality it will be in large part thanks to YOU that I’ll have the knowledge I need to care for them!! You and Danelle are my two OG goats gals as it was the two of you I watched first since I started watching goat/farm channels!! So thank you SO SO much for doing what you do! I know it’s such hard work as it is let alone filming and explaining it all! You have my utmost thanks and respect!
      P.S. So sorry about Lacy and Maybelline!! You gave them the BEST life so well done!💝

    Hi Crystal it's so nice to see your smile. Your last video broke my heart and I was tearing up myself. I had a pekingese she was only 6 weeks old when I got her she was the fattest puppy from the litter and I would tell people she was my first born. She was with me threw my miscarriages and then when I had my children she helped me threw the passing of my mom and dad. She would lay on my feet when I washed dishes and stayed in the bathroom when I was in the shower and if I was sitting down she would always be on my lap. My kids would try to hold her and she would growl at them and it would scare the kids but when my daughter decided the growl was nothing to be afraid of she would pick up the dog and put her on the bed and from that point they were best friends.. but one day I noticed that my dog wasn't breathing right now she was 15 yrs old and I had to wait until my son got home so I could run the dog to her vet. My twins were home and my sons bus was running behind but my dog passed away in my arms. I cried and cried my twins were crying but my son Logan he is one of my twins said mommy I will take care of you..then my son Shawn came home and we all held her and said our good buys. I cried for weeks. I would wash dishes and cry I would be in the shower and cry so when I saw your last vlog it hit me and my heart breaks for people when they lose there pets they are our life our babies so I hope you and your family are getting threw it OK 🐐🧡

  • @kimnisley2957
    @kimnisley2957 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wildee and Lucky would be a great match in my opinion. I’m trying to figure out how I would match up the breeding pairs. Then I can compare to how you match them up. I’m used to rabbits and breeding for a better rabbit. We don’t have dairy issues to figure in though. This channel has been covering all the issues you deal with as a goat dairy and show stock. Have learned so much from you all.
    There are so many differences in climate too. I’m a bit north of Darricks family. We get tons of rain, wind and snow. If I had goats I’d have to have a barn for my milk parlor. Darrick did a fabulous job on your parlor.
    Have a great weekend.

    Hi Crystal I am excited for breeding season and can’t wait to see who you breed to who. It is funny to see Lodi and Lidi trying to put each other in there place. Two stubborn mother and daughter.. curious to what both were thinking. Mom mad at daughter or daughter was mad at mom.

    Hope Lucky can get his business done quick so that he can rest his leg before has to go back in with the other bucks. Lodi and Lidi are too much fighting with each other. Now we wait for which doe goes with which buck, 2 months of breeding, 5 months waiting for kids. I’m excited to see the utters on this year first time fresheners.

    I still miss some of the goats you sold, because of their personalities. Elsa (I'm the Queen, bow now!)
    Roxie with her sweet face. And I have a feeling you'd like to have at least a couple of the doelings you've sold through the years when you see how they have developed since then. I would love to have had goats, but ended up with herds of cats. lol!

  • @Its_Meg12

      @marjgray3053 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not a TH-camr but my 200 lb Nubian bucks live happily together except for the couple of months they are with their ladies. Most very happy together.. maybe a disagreement once in a while.. but no big fights.

    • @OceanSwimmer
      @OceanSwimmer 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There was a Boer goat breeder on TH-cam (he sold his herd & now breeds miniature cattle).
      who kept his bucks together as well --- they were quite calm.
      He did wait until the bucklings were bigger to allow them into the pen with other herd sires.
      Everyone seemed to get along very well -- I suppose it depends upon the breed(?) But who knows.
      Crystal, the entire herd looks great! Best of luck this year for the birth of many, many, doelings! 💕

    Awesome bucks and I can't wait for the babies!!!! FYI, I also watch some lamb breeders and they spray non-toxic full moon spots on the does butts. Once they've been mounted, the paint smears and you can tell they've been bred. Just thought I would throw that out there and see if that would make it easier to see when Champ "does the deed", as you say lol. Best of luck!!

    The boys have certainly got their work cut out for them! I had thought you might be introducing some new blood this year because so many of the does are related to Lucky and Legend. Next year? It's got to be tough business bringing a n a new buck!
