Hi again Crystal. Could just sit and watch you and babies play together ALL day long! Seeing them crawl all over you, totally secure, and DEFINITELY with no sense of boundaries, happy, bouncy and content in the incredibly fun environment u have provided them. It just makes for one continuous smile. And your complete joy in their antics......never ceases to warm my heart. I hit ‘replay’ and ‘like” over and over, totally mesmerized with their babyhood, their goofy sense of play and that look of total contentment on your face and in your voice. What a way to start a Saturday!
Who the heck gave this a thumbs down? You may want to watch again and pay attention this time. Because there is absolutely no reason to give a thumbs down. Just jealousy. Sad... Love you Crystal, family and goats.
It is so evident that you really love your animals. They way you talk to and care for the kids. The way you comfort and care for the laboring moms. I just adore watching these videos and getting to know your family (the two legged and four).
Hey I went back to watch Crystal did not do it and talked about it. Crystal even has compassion for her viewers. That why I love her for what and who she is.
Your channel rocks. Even though I grew up on a farm, goats were new to me. I got 3 last spring, bred 2, sold the buck in Nov, back down to 2, gained 2 more, now have 2 babies! Now I have a heard of 6! I've learned a lot from you channel like giving shots, milking tips, electric fencing for goats, ect. You've really given me some confidence. I do have 2 videos up about our new babies if you want to see them!
Thanks for the update, Crystal! Keep us informed how Val's 3 babies are doing, please. All the kids look so healthy and bouncy! I agree disbudding prevents accidents and injuries -- well worth it. Thank you for explaining the reasons to disbud. Just remembered to ask; At what age do you disbud? Do you give Jump Start to 2 day old kids to colonize their gut?
We had a farm hand that lost an ear from a horned buck- complete accident- but they can hurt people and each other with those horns. Disbudding is the safest way to go!
My friend had a horned nanny goat. It's horns laid flat against its head and pointed backward. So it learnt to go past you and quickly reverse to try and stab you.
Oh Crystal I would be so in Heaven with all of those babies. I so want a farm and have some of your babies because I know they are well taken care of but not seeing that in my near future. It makes my day to watch the babies and the adult goats. Thank you for the education and sharing them with us.
Hahahaha when you get lost in thought cause the baby goats want to have all your attention. I LOVE IT!! Because I was SOOOO distracted by the babies too!! Hahahaha!! You all are so lucky!! 🙏🏽❤️ Wow!! All the babies will be traveling out far. I can’t wait to see that. It is an interesting process to know how every state’s requirements are. Thank you for the fun time video with the kids!! Disbudding is going to be hard but it is for the best. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good luck with the disbudding! It's got to be done. I'm in a unique situation where my vet is so inexpensive. She only vets goats because of her passion for goats and only charges $5 a kid to disbud! I'm impressed with people that do it themselves, you are amazing.
Do you ever do disbudding for other people? And I just love this channel Crystal. You had replied to one of my comments that I did not know of apparently and I just found out yesterday strolling through my g-mail and i thought that was the coolest thing ever. You really do read your comments and you answer them by writing them back! Wow!!! Love you girl!!! You are a beautiful woman! With an amazing family ❤️ and I am in love with watching you guys and all them goats! I'd love to see you all do a video on the baby goats getting to be able to jump around on a couple stumps spread out over there play area and maybe build some kind of thing to hang a swing from. Wouldn't that be awesome. Anyway,Love your family hope you guys stay safe and be Blessed!
Those kids are so cute! My girl's kids just turned a month old and are doing great! It was the mama's first freshen so I was definitely being a helicopter mom but luckily everything went well!
Thanks, Crystal! Looking forward to the detailed video. I've helped with disbudding before (held the goat while someone else used the iron) but this will be our first year doing it all on our own and I'm NOT looking forward to it! I got the iron and a disbudding box (because my husband doesn't want to help lol), but I'm certainly not looking forward to it! Mercifully, our first round of babies of the year were polled so I got a break till our next kidding in a week or so!
Thank you so much Crystal for sharing your baby goats, during these tough times in the world, it share puts a smile on my face. If I could sit anywhere with a bunch of baby goats, it would definitely make the reality of all the sadness go away for just a little bit! Thank You again for sharing those babies with all of us. How are the newest baby goats? Is the littlest one still holding on? Stay safe and healthy and have a fantastic day!!
How did the little one do? I was so sad for you and her both I hope she made it alright. We are new to goats and just had two that had three each. Your videos are very educational thank you for sharing it is so helpful to new people like us. I love all these goats so much.
People down the road from us have a herd of larger goats and they all have horns. We were coming back from town one day and one of their goats was stick under the fence, his horns caught, and it couldn’t get out. So we stopped and helped it get free. We never see any people among the goats there, so we were worried they wouldn’t notice for a long time it was stuck in the fence. Most of their goats are white with brown heads. Don’t know what breed they are. We are in the Texas Hill Country so most of the goats around here are this breed. This happened another time, same goat too. We know because it was the only solid brown goat in the herd. We freed it again. Then awhile later we noticed the goat was not with the herd anymore. I don’t know if they got rid of it or it died. Horns can be really bad.
Very excited about the disbudding video! I don't currently disbud, I want to start. I do understand how it's done but I'd love to have a step by step video to guide me through it!! Informative with how old you disbud, what tools you use, any thing that could go wrong and all that! I love how informative your videos are in general. I've had goats for about 4 years now, but I've still learned a bunch from you guys!
I actually liked to disbud. I did feel somewhat sorry for the babies, but I got really good at it and enjoyed seeing that perfect ring. I did not always get it right and the bucks were especially difficult. We had a lot of scuts on our bucks, which was a sorry sight to me.
I love jumpstart! But i will say, those tubes of gel are dangerous for newborns! (you did good Chrystal, they are older, and can handle more solid food:) ) My friend gave one of her kids some sel/vit.E gel to a newborn from the tube, and she breathed it in, and died a slow, painful death. She simply didnt know. ALWAYS give a pea sized amount on finger swiped on roof of mouth to newborns! just a quick little tip ;)
I hate this too but I hate horns more so like you, it's a chore that must be done.. As I await my next doe ( due April 6) I just continue to fall in love with your babies!
I have seen animals with horns, feral, wild and farmed, who have died from getting their horns stuck in trees, fences, etc. Unless they are going to fight predators or for mating rights it is safer for them and you.
@@traininggrounds9450 But they can't be shown, destroy things and can hurt each other and themselves. Most wild goats are not meant to live long lives. They grow up fast. Foght and mate for just a few short years. Then they are injured in a fight and eaten by a predator. These are pets. It's like saying a dog needs testicles cause it will make them feel many.
@@MBear3 Well yeah, if i had a dog id probably leave him be with that. just me. im a more olden individual. i dont take to all that stuff these modern people do. its not right you know?
I grew up with goats, but only on the milking and feeding side of the fence so to speak. Fast forward and my husband and I bought acreage and he wanted goats milk (I remembered all the work it is, i.e. it isn't low maintenance like chickens), so now we have two to start off with and I am now on the side of the fence my parents were on. Holy cow, I never realized how small MY chore was. We have fixed the stalls since, but yes as you said, I came in one morning and the one area we thought was secure had a goat stuck in it via their horn and we have no idea how long she was like that. I know some might cry out that it is cruel and she was fine, but what if it had been worse? definitely something to consider with any future goats
I could tell you were stalling. It's not pleasant but it's best for their safety as well as yours. Another great video. Can't wait for the next one. PLEASE IM BORED OUT OF MY MIND UNDER THIS STAY AT HOME ORDER! I couldn't help but laugh at the goat chewing on your shirt. I had a baby calf FL that to me. I thought it was adorable until my niece said she was looking for an udder. Um thank. I have udder boobs and I remind that calf of her mommy. To my niece does this hurt 👉🤕 lol Just remember Lodi "Look what I can do" 4 President 2020
That is the best way to start the day - being "mauled" by baby goats wanting attention and milk. I agree. Disbudding is the worst but we feel it is necessary. Everyone has their own opinion on this touchy subject, but goats can get them stuck in some very bad situations without horns. Our vet charges $65 to disbudded & tattoo plus do a vet check. It may seem expensive to some, but hubby won't do it and my hands won't let me due to RA. You have such beautiful baby goats! Thank you for sharing!!!
California makes NOTHING easy. In healthcare, they feel they are "too good" for nurses to come work there. Its ok :) I love your channel, love how educational and caring you are. I have many degrees and worked hard to get where I am, but my end goal with life is nothing towards my education lol. We sold a house we owned, no payments, nothing, to buy a farm so we can have better land and bigger buildings. We are starting our goat raising experience soon, so watching your channel has been really nice for me. So far we have chickens (all breeds including rare ones, just love them all), Flemish rabbits, cats, dogs, and exotic birds/parrots which we rescue. We have a 5000 sq ft building we turned into an aviary, and will be building an outdoor aviary for them during the warmer weather. Soon we will be getting Scottish Highlanders (after we get the fence completed). But first we will start with the goats :) we like the nigeran dwarf goats, but not sure which will be best for us. just trying to educate myself with behaviors, temper, size, and such.
Another reason to do it is because of the bucks they will get each other's legs in the horns and break them. Unfortunately most of the time you have a wonderful buck that has to be put down😬. I would love to see or have it explain to me because we are fixing to have a lot of kids and I really want them not to have horns. Also how old is to old to do it?
Hi love your videos there so informative. Would u recommend having a couple polled does or one polled breeding buck for better luck in having more polled kids? Just wondering if u have insight or experience.
ThisMomsTale Being pooled is a dominant gene. If you have a goat that is Pp for being polled and is bred to a horned-pp goat than 50% of offspring will be polled. This is the same regardless of whether the polled goat is the buck or the doe. If you have a goat that is homozygous for being polled- PP, their offspring will be 100% polled and have the genes for horns, which will mean their offspring will possibly have horns. Homozygous polled goats are thought to have fertility issues due to heavy inbreeding to create a 100% polled line
In the actual video on it, can you show off the buck you have who has the horn issues? (Scurs? I don't know how to spell it.) I think it was Champ? Since you mentioned it can go wrong, like it did with him.
That one really loves how your shirt taste lol hope the ittie bittie girl is still fighting.. My grandson's and I love your videos but now they are stuck at home during all this we look even more forward to the videos lol My grandson did ask me if your kids go to school or are they homeschooled and what's their favorite and least favorite part about all the animals..
Are you going to do an actual disbudding video? Here to learn because I don’t have my kids yet so doing all the research and truly living vicariously through you.
New to goats. We got our first kids and they are 3 months old. They had been disbudded, but it looks like one may be getting a scur. Can we redisbud her? Is there a cut off age? Thank you.
I understand why and that it needs to be done. Didn't want you to think I was trying to be insensitive or something. I'm sure it's not much different from getting a shot or ear tags or even castrated or fixed.
What age do you disbud? And is it possible for a goat to be polled if both parents have horns? Luka’s daughter appears to be polled to me. No swirls, I haven’t tried to move her skin, will do that next... Have you ever had a goat not “feel well” the next day? Sleepy, crying...
I like to disbud withing the first week if possible in most cases. Some does wont need it for 2 weeks. Best as soon as you feel the horn numbs tipping. One parent has to be polled to have a polled kid. Never experienced an I'll or off kid from disbudding :)

Oh my goodness they are so adorable!! Its obvious They all love you Crystal!❤
We knew what your least favorite chore is. How are Val's babies? We think the Swiss is the most beautiful of a troop of beautiful babies.

Gosh, they get cuter and cuter every day! Lookin good!
I could never have a bad day with baby goats. You all are so wonderful with them.
I agree I don’t like doing it either. Ours are all horned. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe God Bless

Its amazing to me that you guys know which baby is which. Shows true love for them. Thank you for this. Bless you..be safe.
ALL THOSE BABIES!!!!! Can I come play???? I just love watching you with your animals!!! Thanks for another video!!!!
So, how does it feel to be smothered by all those adorable kids?! I’m so envious. Thanks for making my day!
how is the little girl doing did she make it.
she passed. she said in a story
Goat To Be Kidding Farms, aww. So sad. It happens, though, doesn’t it.
They are just amazingly sweet! Thanks so much!
Oh Crystal I would be so in Heaven with all of those babies. I so want a farm and have some of your babies because I know they are well taken care of but not seeing that in my near future. It makes my day to watch the babies and the adult goats. Thank you for the education and sharing them with us.
It's amazing to me how you remember who belongs to which mama! All I know is that they're all stickin adorable!
So enjoyable and heartwarming Crystal to watch you with the babies and seeing them run around. 🌾🌿🌾
Love those babies! Cracked me up the baby kept coming back to nibble on your shirt!

Wish I lived on land I would love to have a couple. Take care.
The baby’s are so cute I could just watch all day
Thanks for explaining. I had no idea! I thought they were born without horns.
I love the baby goats showering you with attention!! Adorable and so sweet, makes me want one!! Stay safe and well all!
Hahahaha when you get lost in thought cause the baby goats want to have all your attention. I LOVE IT!! Because I was SOOOO distracted by the babies too!! Hahahaha!! You all are so lucky!! 🙏🏽❤️
Wow!! All the babies will be traveling out far. I can’t wait to see that. It is an interesting process to know how every state’s requirements are.
Thank you for the fun time video with the kids!! Disbudding is going to be hard but it is for the best. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
All the babies want attention so cute! Thanks Crystal for keeping us updated and giving us goat knowledge

😍Beautiful Babies..💗💗
If I had them I would have a hard time selling them.😜 I would end up with hundreds of goat's 😄🌷

These babies are like puppies. All over you and so danged cute!

Diane Johanson sound like boer goats. They are meat goats and are often left with horns intact

How are the four baby goats doing from Val? I hope that they're all doing well.
Three... One passed away when he was still a tiny kid
I have seen animals with horns, feral, wild and farmed, who have died from getting their horns stuck in trees, fences, etc. Unless they are going to fight predators or for mating rights it is safer for them and you.
Really? It's better they die from their own stupidity living like a goat than to live a full life never being who they truly are.
Training Grounds they don’t even know they would have horns. It hurts for 5 minutes and then they never have to suffer again in their lives
@@carrscaprines2671 Meh. I'm a man. I don't mind them having horns.

Has the tiny baby goat made it? Love seeing all the older baby goats with all the fun colors! Will you be keeping any of these babies?
Lillies boy running right back up to you after you chased him away. I'm cackling.
Will you please let us know how Val’s babies are doing?❤️ I hope they’re all doing well.
Is that little it bity doe still alive? I checked your IG to check as well. I'm just praying she has the strength 🙏
How are Val's kids doing?
that looks like the best part of raising goats....getting "mauled" by baby goats. They're sooo cute!
Going all over the country! (Idaho/Canadian border) ;)

before you got side tracked you were talking about swirls in the hair and flat skulls lol
I saw disbudding for the first time in person and I was so scared but it’s not that bad
What is the smallest “herd” that is good for them. I know one alone isn’t good for them but is 2-3 enough ?
That one really loves how your shirt taste lol hope the ittie bittie girl is still fighting.. My grandson's and I love your videos but now they are stuck at home during all this we look even more forward to the videos lol My grandson did ask me if your kids go to school or are they homeschooled and what's their favorite and least favorite part about all the animals..
If you still have and are using the goat soap, they probably smell milk and are trying to get to it .
How are Vals kids doing?
I don't know if its around the same price or if we just get a really good deal but we pay around $10 for a kid to get their horns surgically removed
Hey they are beautiful
Is Jumpstart like Nutridrench? I will have a couple baby goats from my does soon and I want to be prepared for anything.
Soo cute🥰
Are you going to do an actual disbudding video? Here to learn because I don’t have my kids yet so doing all the research and truly living vicariously through you.

Where's vals babies?
For those that understand "I got squirrel on you 🤭"
How are Val's babies doing?
How often do you have to disbud? Is it a one time thing?
I understand why and that it needs to be done. Didn't want you to think I was trying to be insensitive or something. I'm sure it's not much different from getting a shot or ear tags or even castrated or fixed.
What age do you disbud? And is it possible for a goat to be polled if both parents have horns? Luka’s daughter appears to be polled to me. No swirls, I haven’t tried to move her skin, will do that next... Have you ever had a goat not “feel well” the next day? Sleepy, crying...
I like to disbud withing the first week if possible in most cases. Some does wont need it for 2 weeks. Best as soon as you feel the horn numbs tipping. One parent has to be polled to have a polled kid. Never experienced an I'll or off kid from disbudding :)
Does debudding hurt them?? Just wondering.
I want a different flavor Mom!!!
Who is buying from MI? I am in MI and know some breeders. I hope I can get one of yours someday!
We cropped our Dogs ears, the vet did, removed dew claw, shaved face hair. Clipped nails. It was not fun.
