Ataahua/Beautiful Goats are Very Therauputic Kia-Ora Thank You Whanau/Families I Subcribed and Rated up and Shared to Social Media from Bland Bay Whangaruru Aoteoroa New Zealand.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Crystal, since there is more time before breeding.. would you be able to do us a video on why you pair the does with the bucks you chose this year? Body structure and strengths vs weaknesses… we would love it!! 😊
She already did a video a while back if you can check her old videos you will see what traits she factors in before breeding.
@@hephzibahbeulah237 I want to see what bucks she has now
About a month and a half ago, I switched from the purina goat minerals to Caprine Supply minerals. And WHOA, the difference is insane!! More milk, sweeter milk, insanely shiny, thick coats, more energy and playfulness, and on and on. I’ll never switch back.
I do Redmond minerals I get it from Azures I did caprine to I’m not sure which I like the best but sometimes my feed store doesn’t have them. It’s a hit or miss now not to happy about the feed stores there starting to get junk food they say there not getting the brands I use.
@@ravenbrown74 same happened with all feeds across the board! Cats dogs kittens puppies chickens chicks turkey feed water fowl feed and pigs I al noticing this for over a year now where I am at it’s insane how they are literally trying to starve out animals farmers and people! Same thing going on looking for wild caught fish on fish fridays! I’m just baffled at all of it LIKE WHERE DID IT ALL GO???? It didn’t just stop being created or produced but someone is highjacking all from
Nature for sure! It’s definitely being syohoned at the top and I know for facts that fishermen can’t fish like a lot of them didn’t get re licensed and told they couldn’t fish no more and the ones that still get to where I am from are imposed new rules like they can only get x amount of certain types of fish and they’re saying it’s proeblematic not to mention they get raided and BIG BROTHER IS THE ONE DOING IT !!! They like to blame China but the facts are it’s our own govts imposing it on its citizens I think the people need to come together and make a big stand against all the govts FRAUDING THE PEOPLE they already STOLE pensions and retirements from the people thatworked hard all their lives literally robbed them of their hard earned money now they’re going to rob us of what’s living resources what TMH provided for us and trying to govern and sell all what’s all ways been FREE someone else a few months ago said pretty soon we aren’t going to be able to even fish and I think that’s already here I think they’re literally putting nets to not let the wild fish come near our coastlines so we are stuck with eating gmo farm fish like unless you are a scuba diver how can we know for sure what they are doing! In Portugal they are complaining of lack of fish and that’s unheard of in all my life fish have always been aplenty until now and I don’t think it’s any
One country doing it I think it’s all govts orchestrating something on large scale is o keep it away from us from having it cus fish is life its always been aplenty and the ocean is bigger then all the lands so if people are struggling with fish prepare yourselves for what’s coming on land cus famine isn’t even the word we will be using! Mass Extinction is near if the fish are gone we all need to keep the balance in ecosystem of earth healthy and in tact and I see a lot of destruction from. Govts right now on all living species and it’s up to us to stop them!!! Theirs a lot of fish ingredients in our animals feed for i stance and the soils like nutrients for the soil to be healthy etc the best kind of fertilizer is fish heads and bones sea kelp etc… no joke people it’s time to get loud!!! The animals and fish depend on us to do our part and its up to us to stop these life sucking vampire govts ShallAAAUUUMMM 👑🩸💛✨
Crystal that is so wonderful of you to share what you feed and how. Your EDUCATING others to help improve the goat population. That is a TRUE Breeder
Well fed and beautiful coats!
Informative show. Thanks.
You girls get so much love!
Thank you so much for this video!! It's so informative
Healthy and happy goats. Good Job, Well Done
Super video! Thank you!😊
great video guys 👍👍👍
That is so pretty, I can't wait to try it
Amazing learning alot thx be blessed
I am so happy you made this video! I have been wondering and was going to ask you exactly this! Thank you!
Thank you for this video! This is so helpful❤️❤️❤️
Crystal thanks so much for showing us all the different food for the does and the minerals. That soap is so beautiful!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! Awesome work! I just love all the goaties. ❤️ 🐐 ❤️ 🐐 ❤️
Also that soap demonstration was awesome thanks for sharing!
Especially appreciated your identifying the prairie plants they like to feed on,
.
Thank you Crystal for sharing info about what you feed your goats. Enjoy your videos and family dynamics. I like the improvements that you a Derek have built. Blessings and prayers. ☝🙏🙌💪
I how you take care of and love your goats. And I have to say that I love the dogs too! The little one reminds me of my little border terrier ❤️❤️🐶
Y’all should make some soaps named after your goats. Like cami-flage. Or a Lodi soap I don’t really know but it would be cool!
You all are geniuses. All your goats are beautiful. I really can see how much you love them. God bless you all.😊
Can’t wait to see what they eat!
I was happy to see a new video. You are always giving so much information. About the goats and the soaps. It makes my day.
Hahahaha they are so cute when they want more . ❤😂
I love how your little doggie helps bring up the goats and make the goats go back to their pen.
I could watch your videos all day, so much info I am new with goats I have 6 only for pets and keeping land clear ,thanks again Ky here.
Love the information on what you feed the gang there....I'd also love to see you cut this candycane bar! It's got to be a fun one to cut.
You take such good care of your goats, the way you show your love for them is heartwarming! They love you back, even Maddie, in her own way of course! Give my Mayo a big hug for me, I love her so much! Y'all are so blessed! Love you Crystal!
Loved this video! I'm an animal nutrition geek. I also feed Nutrena Goat Feed. I love how high in protein it is. it was very interesting to see your pasture species. I am from California but live in Wisconsin now so it is really fun to see the difference between Southwest and Midwest pastures. We have the typical cool season grasses and red clover pastures. Pretty soon we will be covered in snow so it will be all hay and no more grazing until April or May.
Yay! I'm so glad you shared this! I'm surprised that you don't have dairy pellets 🤔
Thanks a bunch and Blessings 🥰
I'm SO happy I found you on RUclips!! I have a furbaby crew of 9 (4 Boer & 5 Nigerian Dwarfs) I've been researching forever for info on how much to feed etc and man I'm impressed with your video here. You have given me all the info I've been longing to find THANK YOU
You have come such a long way girl!!! YOU ROCK!!! SO PROUD OF YOU!!! ShallAAAUUUMMM 👑🩸💛✨
Here in the Midwest it really don't work well for us because of humidity. We found that Purina goat minerals work better here plus it has a lot more copper which we are badly lacking here in southern Missouri. Always love your videos!
Them girls eat good 😊😊
Thank you Crystal for all the information you provided us with. I was wondering what do you feed your bucks and wethers?
Nice set up
I think It's so funny that your goats love that brand of mineral, my goats wont touch it for so reason. I also don't love free choice mineral. I don't like not knowing how much there getting, they waste a ton of it, and I still have mineral problems when I use it. Loved your idea with feeding it on the stand!💗💗💗
So that’s why these girls are on point with all that butter fat. Can’t wait to see all the new soaps.
I had a patch of skin that wasn’t so happy used the soap and it was fine the next day.
When the alarm went off I legit checked my phone to see if I had set an alarm and forgot about it(which would not be out of the ordinary) so I did laugh at myself for that.
Thank you so much for this video! I have been kind of struggling knowing what to feed but this was so helpful! I do have a question what do you feed your bucks?
The first stage topping for the soap looks like leafy branches.
Love looking at the mountains in the back ground.🥰 Can't wait for the peppermint soap and wonder if you have a pine scent.
I think they do...🤔
We have a few with pine. Try The Earth bar!
Very nice to see those little goats. I live in the Netherlands no one milks these little goats, here they are just hobby goats. I milk the large Dutch dairy goats myself. I also have some who don't like the minerals very much. I soak the pellets in water and then mix in the minerals, together with grains, and seeds, then they usually eat everything. You can also soak the larger alfalfa pellets for horses and make them suitable for goats. Here we also work a lot with clover through the grassland, which is also rich in protein.
That purple is pretty 💜
Have you made prickly pear jam yet? It’s awesome stuff!
I HAVE to get that soap for my husband he loves peppermint .
Thank you for the video and info! What all do you change during breeding and pregnancy season?
Very pretty
Good information!! Thank you!
One day in going to post my soap making disfunction!! Lol it was seriously a blind blonde moment!!! 😂
Even though I don’t have goats, I love learning about them.
A lot of people love prickly pear cactus too
That is good to animals .
Love all the videos! 2yrs binge watching the videos and we are finally getting goats in the late winter/early spring! Thank u for all your knowledge! Also been buying up supplies from ur links. Got the cheese press, soap making supplies, cheese wax, and pretty much everything I need, but the goats! Lol! I did have a question tho! Where do u get thr bigger soap boxes? All I can find are the smaller ones. Also, where do u buy your clays, oils, etc? I hear so many ppl.say many of the "natural oils.and clays" aren't actually all natural. Want to make sure we are making quality items here. Thank u!
omg i wish that when you were showing the feed bags you use, that you had panned up JUST a little so we could see the girls above you 😂💛
Love your videos!!! Have you ever had a goat bit by a rattlesnake? I worry about that, we're high desert-Northern Nevada
Very interesting. Do the bucks get the same feed mixture as the does or something different since they’re not browsing?
Great question!
I follow "Cog Hill Farm". They have goats, but they're pets. They do have two bucks, and I remember them talking about a different kind of food for them....my old brain just can't remember what it is, and why the bucks get it, as opposed to what the doe's get😏
@@fallbrkgrl male goats 🐐 get something like kidney stones so they get something to help prevent that
It depends on the ingredients in the grain. Bucks can’t have grain because they can get uc (urinary calculi) and die very quickly if not taken to the vet some people don’t notice it and by the time they do it’s too late because the bladder has already ruptured and there’s nothing you can do once that happens except put them down. Weed em reep explained a type of grain they can give to there buck I can’t remember it but you have to have the perfect amount of phosphorus:calcium ratio. CORN is a definite NO.
@@fallbrkgrl They use Tucker Milling LLC's Goat Maintenance and Buck
Slightly different. We'll show it in an upcoming video
This video was very helpful for feeding my goats. I've been having a problem getting my junior size ready for breeding! So this really help!
Lol I thought it was my alarm ⏰️ going off! 🤣
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge! I am new to having goats and your videos have helped me so much :) I do have a question, would you feed your bucks the same? or do they have a different diet?
I just mix, whole barley, whole oats, alfalfa pellets, beet shreds, black oil sunflower seeds, sweet feed, and sprouted peas (sometimes), till it looks right! Lol.
My goats won’t eat the beets my bucks will I’m in New Mexico how much do you pay for the black sunflower seeds
Thanks
@@ravenbrown74 I pay about $20 for a 30lbs bag, they each get about 1/2 cup/day. I am in MT
15 one of my favourite numbers!! Lol
OMG a 32 minute video yessssss!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I think you guys can plant "Leucaena" trees as addition to the high protein leaves for them. They are native to mexico. I am in southern India by the way. But these goats are pretty beautiful.
It’s yummy yummy for your tummy girls!!!
I still remember day Daisy was born, and me being so " crazy " in coments Keep her .. and other fans do same. And if you look that video again you were nah.. i already keept Dawns baby DREAMER.. but am so glad you keept her she is beauty!!!
It's my first time with a pair of pygmy goats (Brick and Brack). I'll start feeding them like your video!
My husband had a yucca plant in garden from his mum’s garden when she passed away and we had to remove all the plants and about a month ago had to move plant to put in ground and it was full of wasps nest and was stung over 100 x he was in pain
❤❤❤❤
Do the bucks get the same thing
A little different. We'll show it in an upcoming video
Crystal for the babies that do that mineral, manna pro makes a goat skin&coat supplement that might like better. Something to try since it’s really important for them to take those minerals.
Love your videos!! Apologies if I missed this, but how much of the 3-ingredient food mix do you give the girls every morning? I got the part breakdown, but now how much you scoop in each bucket. I am about to bring home a few nubians and am trying to get my act together. Thank you!!
Do you have any videos on how you made your milk parlor?
First hereeee 😊❤
Wow! It's easy to see why your girls look so sleek and healthy, which I have commented on before. They are the luckiest and most loved goats on the planet!
Good morning Crystal that looks yummy the girls will love it❣ time to milk
Hello, just got goats today. Happened faster than I had planned. But they are here now. I need a list of food to purchase. I didn’t have time to research before they got here.
The soap looks good :)
Where is Lacey? Do you have breedings plans ?
Lacey retired with a friend of Crystal who doesn't have so many goats.
omg im lmao little is now a herd dog omg im roflol that is sooo cute
Also, I see your wooden structures with the "V" roof... Is that for shade or do they love to play on them? I'm looking to build some great things for my furbabies this year
1 part M&M's, 1 part Reese's Pieces and 1 part Skittles 🤣🤣🤣
Thankyou, what do you feed your bucks?
There food looks nutritious.
Like color pretty but...Dont like pepermint yuk Love how u care for ur goats , the way you show your love for them is heartwarming
Black Oil S S are the best! I feed them to my rabbits. I sometimes wonder if we humans should eat them too lol.
Hi Crystal. What do you feed your bucks? Do you feed alfalfa or other hay? Do you give anything for preventing urinary calculi? Thank you!
💙💙
I don't have any grass on my property. So would you suggest alfalfa daily as well as their feed?
If you would be so kind, as I know your busy I can tell lol!! We are getting 2 doelings @ 8 weeks old, what do you suggest their daily feeding to like like? I appreciate it if you could help us and if you can’t I understand 👍🏼Thank you and take care out there!!
Crystal,
Im curious what the calcium to phosphorus ratio is or whether that concerns you. I’ve been taught that alfalfa is too “off balancing”…. that’s why I’ve always gone with the mix - I’d love to switch over but im a little nervous.
Amanda
A handful of minerals that they love VS a plastic rod down their throat. Hmm . . . decisions, decisions! :o)
Have you tried mixing the minarals in their food when you put it in that way they don't realise it's there.
oh little anna i mean still laughing
What do your bucks eat do they get the same feed also can they get alfalfa hay I’ve heard people saying not to feed bucks grain or alfalfa
I thought that was my boyfriend alarm
How do you measure the 3 parts of grain? Do you use specific scoopers? Very interested in knowing. 🤔
No matter what measure you use, you’ll get an equal mixture by using the same scoop for all 3 feed types 3:3:1. 3 cups / 3 cups / 1 cup…or 3 gallon / 3 gallon / 1 gallon, etc
When you say “3 part” or “1 part”, is that per scoop or per pound?
Question about soaps. Do they ever go bad, lose their scent, or their benefits? I’m curious of shelf life. Thank you. 💗
I have heard soap lasts forever and also it last as long as the soonest expiration date of the oils used. Essential oils will loose their scent eventually.
Good morning! What do you feed the bucks?
Something slightly different. We'll show it in an upcoming video
