Babies on the Way! - Goat Nursery Update
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Our Mini-Nubian Goat, Belle, is expecting babies any day now! In the video we will take a look at how Belle's pregnancy is coming along, take a tour of an insulated nursery/birthing area in the barn that I made out of a the old "Rain Roof" project.... and at the end, I'll show some clips of how the babies came to be ;)
Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions!

I see the nursing area, and I'm thinking the Nativity manger scene.
Hark the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn king.
Merry Christmas all!🎄😊
That’s what my wife and sister said it reminded them of too! And actually on the other side of the main goat barn (the pitched roof) we’ve got a nativity silhouette set up, but not visible in this video. Our Lord Jesus IS the reason for this season😊🙏
I'll never be able to unsee that. Goats are even crazier than I thought.
😂 yep!
Marley has a better education than most city kids. Congratulations Joe, you have built a terrific homestead for your family and fur & feather pets. Wishing you and your family a blessed holiday season filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother
That’s what our goal is…. To give her as broad ranging of an education as we can. From vocational hands-on style learning to the more traditional math/science textbook stuff as well…. And everything in between. It’s a weird world these kids are entering and we want her to be as prepared as possible.
Wishing you and your family the best as well😊🙏
@@homesteadonomics Joe, I've said for years that "all" children should have at least a year of either 4H or FFA, even if they are city kids. Like Marley they would know more about the world around them, be more confident and have much better problem solving skills. The world would be better off if more of the youngsters had a similar education. Thank you!
OMG I LOVE baby goats! Can't wait!
Haha…me too! Something so dang cute and funny about bouncing baby goats🤪
Woo Hoo! New additions to the Homestead....and just in time for Christmas! What a great "stocking stuffer" - since they are "dwarf goats" they should fit just fine! 🥰
Oh man are we excited! ….. and the girls are also nervous as well😂
Yay! Baby goats! The extra space is going to be so useful for a myriad of reasons. I hope the birth goes smooth and easy for everyone!
Everything you do is so precise and clean!!!
Thank you!
Oh no my virgin eyes. 😮
Congrats on the growing family. Hopefully we’ll get to see more goat play time.
😂 Yep, it isn’t the easiest of things to see
Goats are a crack up, looking forward to seeing the (grand)Kids in your next video!
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🤶🧑🎄
Merry Christmas!
But no, they're enjoyable farm animals not 'grandkids'. Just like dogs are great pets, but not substitute offspring or children, as many seem to liken them to in this misguided dog obsessed culture.
We definitely are excited to see them….a bit nervous….but mostly excited! Merry Christmas to you as well Daniel😊🙏
@milton480h Merry Christmas Milton!
Wow Joe, she is so mature and knowledgeable about all of the livestock! I need to get an intact male for the farm. Another great video.
Mark
Thank you Mark! We sure are proud of the young lady Marley is growing up to be😊🙏
And I’d love to hear if you do get a buck. They can be stinky but also provide some of the much needed fertility for future babies too😊
I can't watch one of your goat vids and NOT think about Jim Bruer's GOAT BOY on SNL. LOL.
I think I remember that one… with the big ears😂
But I think my favorite of his is the more recent ‘seal’ impersonation bit🤪
Baby. Goat. Cam. My wife and kids would love it.
Haha….it’s too far from our wifi. But certainly there will be baby goat vids coming soon!
Kidding is so much fun.
Blessings and Merry Christmas ❤
We are very excited for it! And Merry Christmas to you as well😊🙏
It’s amazing what you have done with your place. You are one of the best fabricators on YT IMO.
Wow, thank you so much!!!! Greatly appreciated😊🙏
WoW... it looks like Belle swallowed a V-8 motor!!! LOL
Haha…. Yep, from the side you can see she’s big but when she is facing directly towards you or directly away then it’s pretty shocking😳😂
G'day Marley, greetings from down under.
Firstly I'm very impressed with your knowledge, but I having grown up on a dairy farm in South Gippsland in Victoria, at an early age I understood breeding of both cows and sheep.😊
Finally, good luck with the upcoming kids, I know they are in safe hanbs with you.
Merry Christmas to you and your parents. Have a great time and a safe and wonderful 2024.
Merry Christmas to You & Yours... may your New Year be Happy & Healthy!!!
And Merry Christmas to you and your family as well😊🙏
Merry Christmas homesteadonomics!
Merry Christmas to you and your family as well! 😊🙏
Thanks Joe. Love your videos!
You are the G O A T
Always look forward to your next releases!
Glad to hear it😊🙏
Always enjoy your videos🎉 Daughter is a Veterinarian.😊
Thank you so much😊🙏
Wow, so exciting! Can’t wait to see the babies!
Your pen is awesome too & great nursery. Those goats are lucky to have you & Marley 😁👍🏻
We are very excited…..a bit nervous as well….haha. But mostly excited!
Peaches just sits there in that one spot with its rear facing right in Wildfire's pen.
Yep, she’s driving him crazy😂
A smaller health barn and kid pen is a great idea
That’s what we’re thinking too!
I love the goats and chickens.
However, I do hope you've factored in the additional water needed for them.
Oh yeah, that’s the first of the critical 3 necessities 😊👍
Fun stuff!!
Yeah, should be pretty entertaining very soon!
Very cool
Thanks!
Классные у Вас видео. Смотрим с удовольствием.Спасибо. Россия . Санкт-Петербург. Сергей.👍.
Thank you very much Sergey! 😊🙏
PS- one day I’d love to visit your amazing Lake Baikal
Great video!!
Thank you Loretta😊🙏
Great video. Your daughter really learns as much as she can when she has an interest. The family support is also outstanding. Are you going to be looking for a smaller breed buck as well or is the little one going to (euphemism) ‘be going to band camp’? Did you ever think that your place would include this much livestock? Is anything else going to be added to the mix? Thanks for sharing and looking forward to an easy and healthy multiple birth. It’s early but Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
😂”band camp”….. love it!
Not totally sure yet. We have considered it, but my wife, being the one who is the primary milker doesn’t really want to extend the heard of Nigerians due to the smaller teets (more difficult to milk). But we all love her so much and think she’d make a sweet momma. So who knows….maybe a buck or as you mentioned….. off to ‘band camp’ to meet with a buck😂
And Merry Christmas to you and your family too!
👍🏻
Wow, goat porn in the afternoon, what a delight that I don't have to be secret about it anymore either.
OMG, What I'm I doing with my life besides of watching kiddy porn.
I really need a life. Baaaahaaaaa haaaa, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm just amazed of how much your daughter knows about animals. She's smarter then I am, that's forsure. She's growing up Joe, enjoy these days as much as you can my friend.
Have a wonderful day & God bless,
Chris from Missouri
Yes she is growing way too fast for my liking! And definitely smart…. Most of which she gets from her mom. But she also has my creativity.
Now it’s just a nail bitter waiting for these babies to be born🤪
👍
Wowwa, she's a wide mama 🤭. Yeah, bucks are gross hahaha, oh..what they do for love 🤢😆😅. Thanks for the video, enjoyed it.
Oh yes….quite shocking when you see her turn towards or away from you to see the width. Hoping she’s gonna have relief pretty soon!🤪
yes, soon and I hope it's healthy twins. @@homesteadonomics
If you're running around in a t shirt, the babies probably will not need a heat lamp. The only reason you would need to cover those doors is if there is a cold wind blowing into the shed.
We had 36°-39° & wind. It was cold! Brrr!
Haha….yeah right now it’s been really nice. But we will on occasion get into the low 20’s and hi teens in Jan/Feb timeframe. So it’d be more for those short durations. Currently I think they’ll be fine in the nursery with the hay bedding and momma snuggled next to them.
And after the kids get into the main pen we are going to use that for our baby chick starting area too
@@homesteadonomics Best to be prepared for "just in case". Often times they choose to kid on the worst possible day! 😜
Wow it took less than one second of real action to create 4 adorable baby goats, nice bang for the buck 😂
Merry Christmas bro
What kind of lights are run off the solar generator in the goat pin? 12v or 110, got a link?
These are regular 110v. The one above was from Costco and is made by feit and the one inside the nursery box area was from Walmart and was one of their in-house brands like ‘hyper tough’ or something like that.
Thanks
@@homesteadonomics
😃👍🏼🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐👊🏼
Are you getting some buyers lined up?
Action shots lol 😆 how bad do males smell?
They aren’t that bad…..except when they are in the midst of breeding prep… then it’s really BAD🤢😂
@@homesteadonomics ok iv been on the fence about them thought they smelled all the time
@@dsmmike95well, they do have an odor most all the time, it’s just that’s it’s REALLy pungent and especially strong during breeding 😂
What happened to the horse ??
We re-homed her with a friend who has a large facility with other mustangs and pasture. When we originally started this project that was one of the potential options as we didn’t want to keep such a young horse alone long term. Additionally she wouldn’t be able to be ridden for another year or two…. So when we do get a rideable horse here you might just see her again😊
@@homesteadonomics ok thanks
first
This time you’re actually correct👍🏆
Not for children? I'm not sure that I agree - if they learn about those matters early then they may be less likely to experience some misadventure due to ignorance later on.
😂 I agree…. But you gotta remember that I’m posting this stuff online where all sorts of thin-skinned easily offended “Karen” weirdos will loose there minds if I don’t give some sort of disclaimer.
@@homesteadonomics Thanks for the prompt response. Another inescapable factor of life is death. My in-laws raise goats and every year the mature females each produce twins. One is kept to ensure continuity of the milk supply and for future breeding, the other is destined for the freezer. Similarly, their great-grandchildren raise rabbits, again with the knowledge that they will one day repay the investment. The sooner we learn about the circle of life the better understanding we will have.
In the meantime, have a look at Proverbs 27 v23-27.
@@robt2151yes I very much agree! And I also read the proverbs passage too😊🙏
And here is one of my favorites back to you…. 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
Our male goat was white and was absolutely disgusting during his rut.
😂 yes, they are and I can totally see the color change going from white to a yellow brown for your buck
