    This is about the best parenting show on the internet. So wonderful to see a dad working with a daughter to teach se of tools and equipment. Why do I think adult Olivia will be able to fix her own car?

      Absolutely in love with the video. It's so important to teach a young lady how to be self sufficient. Let's not forget about the importance of a daughter and daddy relationship. Melts my heart 💓. Now let's get her in 4-H!!

    Wow. You are an amazing father. She is one blessed child. She will remember those moments all her life. I have to go back and watch the video again because all I am doing is seeing your interaction with your precious child. You made our morning little princess.

    That was awesome watching the goats jump on the spools. The best part was when you said "you know what we need now Olivia?" and she said "a slide." LOL! I'm with her. I think you need a slide!!

    To see a Dad and Daughter working, learning and doing something together is the best.
    Mine was kidnapped 5 years ago. So many feelings here with this one.
    I need some spools. I got my first goat today. My girlfriends X gave her's away. I have worked with a lot of animals. Goats are new and we found us a Nigerian Dwarf today. So you just taught me something to build for ours.
    I am getting ready for the ride. Rabbits, dogs, goats, chickens and whatever else we can have around.
    Great Video. Its good to see a young woman trusted with work.

    Fantastic video, I see so much more then just a few spools in the yard, IC and anxiety free, stress free environment, you can just watch the difference between pre and post spools, it was like dark into light. The pigs, the chickens... The chickens got out so we just left them, they're happy! You sent that what you went to find or is that what you went to build.
    35 years living with multiple sclerosis here disabled for the past decade, we know what we need to get through it's just showing others how they can help. You went to your homestead because you knew how to help you've walked the path and you're starting, I sat and watch this video for 17 minutes, the pressure inside subsided and I was able to breathe and be comfortable, and that's why I continue to come back, cuz you're working on me too! Thanks for taking the time to share your day it made mine!

    The goats are a hoot and seemed to throughly enjoy their "playspool" playground! (I think you and Olivia had just as much fun putting it together too) That was so much fun to watch! Thanks for sharing!

  • @jill.arbogast6538
    @jill.arbogast6538 4 года назад

    Oh how fun👍👍 you sure made their day !!! Back in the 1970’s we used sand down the tops of the spools then stain them and put a few coats b of clear coat on them and used them for coffee table or whatever you want to use them for. I’m happy your goats are enjoying their new toys. Oh hey your daughter is a really good backhoe operator and driver. Man they grow up so fast. God Bless you and your family 🙏🙏🦋🦋🌈🌈🌺🌸🌻🌻🌼🌹🌹

  • @phliptoutcool
    @phliptoutcool 6 лет назад +18

    The spools are great but you should try leaving a couple on their side. The goats will jump up on the middle and walk the spools. Very fun to watch!

    • @LumnahAcres
      @LumnahAcres  6 лет назад +17

      When we have better fencing we will have to try that. I could see them bull dozing right through the electric netting

    • @phliptoutcool
      @phliptoutcool 6 лет назад +4

    • @EHCBunny4real
      @EHCBunny4real 6 лет назад +2

      Maybe they should use a gym ball instead of leaving the spools on the side.

    • @patbootie9552
      @patbootie9552 6 лет назад +10

      On wholesome roots they cover the holes with wood. I think goats will eat at your foam and need wood planks put over top.

    Those spools are awesome. It looks like the goats are enjoying themselves! How adorable. Olivia did great with the tractor and filling those spools with foam! She's doing wonderfully with milking and everything else. We're jealous of the cool weather. It's still so very hot here. Our heat index is still pushing 100. 😩😓☀️🔥☀️.

    Olivia reminds me of myself when I was her age. I was always hanging around my daddy. And like you Al he taught me about everything from taking care of animals to working on cars. I’m thankful for those days. I no longer have my dad.
    I think the goats spools should be called their jungle gym. Loved the video and love the Lumnah family.

    Good daddy and homesteader. As long as they are not too close to the fence, or they can jump over. Do not be afraid of pushing them further apart. A little challenge is exciting for them. Spoolorama,

    5:30 I worked for the phone company for 30 years and we had all sizes of wire reels. I used to practice walking on them, (rolling them). I figured if I ever became a lumbethack, that would be a valuable skill... The bigger ones are a little easier. You have to be quick to walk the smaller ones, they're very reactive. The 3-4 foot diameter ones were the easiest for me.

  • @roygould9454
    @roygould9454 6 лет назад

    My first thought was leave one sideways so the goats could walk/roll the reels. Then I realized they would just roll it up to the fence and jump out. Great video.

  • @sweetheartsmom
    @sweetheartsmom 6 лет назад +17

    Suggestion. If you cover the tops with roofing shingles or something rough it will give them grip and keep their hooves trimmed. Also are you removing them when it ices?

    • @bevlower6793
      @bevlower6793 6 лет назад +2

      tip them on their side in snow & ice...I could see the goats trying to balance on the spool & pushing them around the yard.

    • @idadho
      @idadho 6 лет назад +2

      Goat hooves would shred composition shingles. The goats do not need additional grip. The ice won't bother the goats. They are wild animals and used to living in the ice. Goats are very agile animals.

It was a tin roof - he said it sounded like the worst rainstorm ever - lol

    Buttercup has gorgeous colors!
    I put planks from spool to spool and a few cinder blocks as boosters for shorter goats to the taller spools. When the ground is wet my wether stands on one block giving me "the look". Goats don't understand that I am not the omnipotent weather controller. That's above my paygrade.
    Oh and my two sleep together on a spool except in rain.

    They're going to have lots of fun. I think it was on Pinterest someone had built a pyramid with the spools about 15 feet high. Took a couple of the center wood out so they could turn around or lay down up in there. Keep an eye out for them trying to chew that foam.

    Might want to keep them away from the fence so they don’t try to jump out n get tangled up
