    I think it’s really important that people see loss. Having animals is such hard work and it’s not always pretty to watch.
    Crystal, your hubby may be a goofball at times but, he’s got your back when you need it most. He grounds you and refocuses you when you need it. Good job everyone!

      Life is a hard road. For the two legged and four legged. Birthing is a bitch! Good to see you give comfort & assistance to your animals. Teaching your children. We learned all about life & death on the farm. It’s raw real life. I think we all should be raised on farms! I am glad that I was. I went into medicine as it felt so natural after providing 24/7 care on the farm.

    As much as I would love to have a couple of goats, after seeing how much you go through; the joy of each birth and the absolute devastation with each loss, I honestly don’t know if I could do it. I would cry my eyes out for days with each loss. You have been through so much this year. I hope you realize how many babies and mamas would not have survived had you not quit your job to take care of them during this crucial time. You are seriously one of the strongest women around and a fabulous role model for your kids. Luckily, you have a wonderful husband who is always there for you! I am in awe of your ability to get through it all. Much love and respect!

One amazing strong family, and this video shows it in the most purest and concise way possible. The way everyone remains calm in the middle of chaos. The way you all pick up and continue when another doe needs you. Even though your emotions are in a valley of despair, you also feel the new rush of adrenaline and anticipation for the new kids to come. It's a huge physical, mental, and emotional marathon that you conquer together. An amazing family to follow and admire. THANK YOU for sharing your adventure of raising dairy goats, growing your garden, and having family adventures with the world.

There is still work that needs to be done but when you don't have time to give up, you can overcome the tough times! Crystal didn't have time to doubt her ability to deliver kids.

    Maybelline's first baby has such pretty blue eyes. They're darker than mom's, but such a beautiful blue

    There wasn't anything more you could have done. With 2 giant siblings, it was just one of those nature things. I am sorry tho. The baby was beautiful

      My best guess is that the small third one was already dead - this would help explain the poor presentation, no muscle tone to help with positioning. So nothing you could have done regardless. I’m sorry. :(

    I think it is amazing that you could still help Abilene after that tragedy. I'm sure that we can all agree that you did the best you could, and that Maybelline was grateful towards you .♥ We have Nigerian Dwarf goats and I think that I would be close to giving up if we had to go through that, but I know that it is a possibility. You handled that situation like the pro that you are, and please don't let this discourage you!

    Man that made me cry, wasn’t expecting that! Crystal is amazing!!!! I felt absolutely horrible for Maybelline, she was going through some major pain. Crystal keeps her composure so well. I don’t know how she does it! Poor Maybelline needs a pain pill lol Crystal your awesome, I love how much you love the goats and I love how great & supportive Derek is. Thank you for documenting everything for us and always keeping us in the loop! ❤️❤️❤️

    Hey. I'm sorry Mabillines labor turned for worst towards the end. You're a strong woman and you care so much for your goats and kids. I love watching you and your family work on your farm and put passion to raising your herd. I love watching your videos the good and the bad. Keep farming on!

  • @MillaRaeDeshibeau
    @MillaRaeDeshibeau 3 года назад +3

    Yay!! The baby videos. Awesome!! This season of kidding had many challenges and these videos will also help to improve the outcome for the next time around, I say. I am so glad you document them cause they are also great references. “If this happens, I will do this differently...” it is real time situations to reflect and grow from. This was a season of growing from this season. So many other owners of goats had very similar situations. But you all did great and I’m so proud of your family and the support you all have for eachother and your four legged family. 🙏🏽❤️

    A sudden rise of emotion came over me when you applied CPR on Maybelline's last kid. So heart-wrenching. And so sad for your family. My heart goes out to you. But, thank you for these two videos of Maybelline and Abilene's labors. It's adorable how these two goats show you affection. They truly love and trust you.

    I am new to your site. I am so moved by your love for your babies. I have watched other videos, from different sites, and it seems that a lot of breeders are more concerned with the money they lose when a baby doesn’t make it ,then when they loss of a beautiful life. Your love for the momma’s and the babies is just beautiful. You make me want to start a small farm. Thank you for sharing with us your families journey!
