Glad you got these nice Kune Kune from Weed em and Reap and that all their fans can follow them here now. Of course we can also follow Zorro there.
The pigs were returned to Kevin and Danenell. They are both blind. They are looking for new homes for them in Arizona.
You need to re look at weed and reap video so you can see they aren’t the same pigs. Also, They are deaf not blind.
lyls keets you are an idiot. The pigs are not blind and deaf
Salzanic Legend I happened to be following here for the last year, and been following @weedemandreap for the past 3.5 - 4yrs! I’m so excited to be able to see the transition of the boys here! And ....to know just where Zorro came from! That’s a score as well!
@@lylskeets8709 oops. They are deaf not blind
I’ve watched those kune kune pigs since they were born on weed em reap’s channel gosh they got so big 😭😭😭😭 glad I can continue to watch their journey here 💕💕💕
FalconClawBTS same here😍
Me too.😎
Me 3!
me too!
I love to hear you and DaNelle have the same interest in your animals. I follow both of you. I can not wait to see Zorro and the boars grow. Looking forward to more of your videos.
This is a PERFECT update video and must have taken quite a bit of time! But you hit every single question, every important doe that we were wondering about. Thank you for all you do, the both of you!
Seemed like a long time coming, lol. Feels good/oh no! To be in the present ;)
You guys have been working hard! Thankful for anything you guys share! Great job!
Thanks for sharing and was a nice catch up vlog. Congratulations on your new hogs 🐖🐖 to your goat farm 🤗 it will be fun watching Zoro and also be fun watching the pigs grow at your farm 👍
Really happy Weed Em sent me to your channel!!! You guys are one of the top 4 farm channels along with Weed Em, White house on the hill and Cog squad!!!! Keep the vlogs coming!!
Yay more updates! It’s understandable that things went crazy with all the goats. This kidding season brought many challenges.
Moving forward and looking forward to more. Have a fabulous week.
Your farm isn’t so little anymore! So happy for you guys after all you went through!
Ok Iove the goat road to new homes. Thanks Derrick for the songs
Thank you for explaining what you do with your goats when they are not breeding for the farm. It helped me to understand what a farm owner has to go through to keep the farm running financial. You have to be strong minded to be a farmer!!👨🌾👩🌾
Not a fan of those hard decisions but necisarry.
Thank you for all the updates, blessings! :)
I really enjoy watching your blog. Your family is great with all animals
I love how you explain things
I look forward to your soaps.Thank you for sharing your life with us!!
Crazy is an understatement!! You guys have been so busy but glad you're finally getting caught up!! Love the update and honesty of exactly what responsible breeders do with non productive animals. I love the Kune breed and you defently have the space for them, another good pasture pig is the Idaho pasture pig if the Kune doesnt meet your expectations. Welcome back to halfway normal!
I live in the city, but grew up out in the country. We had goats, but mainly just to keep our pasture down. I somehow found you and I really am enjoying getting my country girl fix from watching your videos! Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching! 🤗
Thank goodness that you have finally culled Anna! Not worth selling and feeding. Hopefully meat is good. Goat meatballs are fantastic mixed with a little hamburger or pork sausage or all three. Sorry folks it's how it goes no matter how hard it is for some. We have eaten prickly pear cactus too. Great source of liquids for dehydration in the desert. Have you folks tried it too? The idea for separating the spazz goats is genius. Your explanation why was spot on the mark. Plant a few fig and pomegranate trees. They do well in the heat. Lovely video. Blessings
Your goats adults and Kids love you so.
I love you and I love that I can see the pig grow as I seen them for weed'em and reep
Derek made me snort in laughter when he said: "And next year we'll probably have 10 to 15 Wethers", after he said that, I was thinking "Bite your tongue, Sir! Don't say that around the Does!" lol I adore you all so much, please stay safe and I'm always sending all of you the best! 😊💖
🤣
Lots going on there! Glad to see the garden and pigs!
Missed you all but totally get that you needed to get caught up. Love your two lovely boats. Take care❤️
This was a great update. I really like the way you did it. Even though I know that culling makes perfect sense and have nothing against it, I still welled up with tears, isn't that silly, I've kind of fallen in love with all your animals, so I can only imagine how it pulls on your heart strings. I loved your tin man...I'm going to copy that, I've got a couple of raised beds that could use a scare crow.
I love all my goats!! It really does stink to make these hard decisions!
Oh my goodness your kids are getting so big I can't believe how much they've grown. Everything looks really nice out there. I think that Maybelline and dreamer are going to have beautiful kids when the time comes. I love the new animal on the farm those pigs are adorable I've been wanting some but didn't want any that would tear up my yard so I'm looking forward to learn while you guys learn. Thank you so much for sharing and I look forward to seeing some more videos from you guys 💖💯
I so love you guys.
I'm always searching your most recent videos
Nice goat you have
I wish more people could understand what your doing with Anna. As sad and as hard as it is, it’s a necessary thing to do. As responsible goat owners, it’s something that has to happen sometimes. I wish more people could understand that your goats provide for you in more ways than one, and that means that you process for yourselves at times. I don’t know if anyone is a Golden Girls fan, but Rose once said something along the lines of, “it’s okay to love your animals and have them provide for you”. Something along those lines, but you get what I mean. I hope I can be as amazing goat owners as you one day. ❤️
No worries guys! Glad you’re caught up ❤️
Thanks for the update and the intro of whom you're keeping etc. Sorry to hear Anna is leaving this earth. It always saddens me to hear those things. Kuni's are so cute ! They had a great upbringing and for piggies they are extremely friendly like their momma. 💕 🆒 ✋ Your garden looks fabulous 🌈 Legend is a perfect name for him 👍
beautiful tiny garden !!! i like those pens with shade trees !
Thanks for catching us up on the goings on at Blue Cactus Dairy Goats. Believe you've made the right decision with Dawn Was excited to see the Kunekune's you got from DaNelle. Did you know they originate from New Zealand? Wondering whereabouts in CO did that last cutie pie go? Smart thinking to separate the crazy Does using the birthing stall...you're one smart cookie Crystal. Nice that your hubby was able to join in this video. Best to you and all the family.
Thank you! He is going to Delta, CO.
A ideal garden so much
I love the names you picked! Very fitting 😊
Thanks for the update Derek and Crystal!
I love ur channel as well as weedem n reap
Awesome news from your farm 👍😀 thanks for sharing ✌️
Derrick , it is easy to fix your leaking roof , I bet the tin is only overlapped one rib and it needs to overlap two ribs and use screws with neoprene washers - available at home depot and tractor supply . I can assure you this will fix the problem .
Thanks for the update. It’s always great to hear wonderful things. Stay safe everyone. God Bless
You've been missed!
Glad you're back!
Thank you!!
So much fun to see babies move to other you tuber’s farms so we can continue to follow. Love that we can follow Zorro at Weed em and Reap and watch their piglets on your channel. Last year Lumnah Acres took one of weed em and reap’s baby goats which has also been fun to follow!
I watch weed them and reep. I love them. I just found your channel. I watch zorro. He has a couple of kids coming. I've heard of your channel from them.
You can feed your dried marigold petals to your chickens. It makes their yolks nice and golden and is good for them. Our chickens love them.
We are also in the process of building stalls in a 14' x 17' metal barn tht we have just been using as storage. It also has a 2 horse stall covered area and a 2 car covered carport attatched. The carport roof leaks like yours does lol.The flooring is all dirt. Its a big job for sure.
It was good to see you both on today's video. I love all the updates and new goals. Your names are outstanding. I understand the culling decision that must be so hard for you I know you love all your animals. ***** What is wrong with the goats, crazy eating Prickly Pear. 1and 1/2" thorns. They hate water but thorns don't bother them.***** LMAO. Take care.
Not always fun times and easy decisions when you have a ranch :( I appreciate you recognizing it's not always easy.
It is sad that Anna refuses to be bred but it's the responsible thing to do to use her for what you can. My dream is to one day raise my own food in all ways. I have gotten to the point in life where I think it is important to completely understand the effort that goes in to raising and harvesting my food. So much respect for farmers of any sort, plant based and/or animal based.
I love your goats . They are the kind i like
What kind of chickens do you have. By the way love from india
Great idea on separate stalls for the crazies. Nova is beautiful. Can we follow Outlander. You do a wonderful job with your goats. I commend you. Love your Channel!!!!
Outlander went to Little Bittle Farm you can follow on fb. No RUclips channel though :)
Blue Cactus Dairy Goats Thank you
Beautiful
Looking forward to your adventures with the KuneKune pigs!
Love all the goats. I know it is farming and food but I have never had goat and think of them as cheese, milk and pets.
Thanks for update! Piggies piggies always fun to watch and knowing u and danelle did a switcheroo was so cool! Love the videos telling where babies are going, esp the one where Bronx’s new family did a video showing Bronn running free on his new farm with all his friends. When we fall in love with the babies, makes a huge difference knowing they’re going to loving, crazy families like yours. Such a treat. Hoping you all get a bit of downtime during this pandemic to stay home, stay safe and work on puttering, making cheese and just enjoying each other.
Buenos días 🤠 👍🏻
I love your videos too. But I would really love to see the births of the most recent baby goats so please let me know when that will be in can't wait to see them.
Thanks for the update! Happy to see how well everyone’s doing. Now, if only I knew what ‘weathers’/ ‘wethers’ means? I’ll try to google it. Vader is extra special to me since ‘I named’ him, LOL. I think it suits him perfectly. I feel like his Nana. 😉 I look forward to seeing all the cheese making and alterations and improvements you guys make. I’ll live my dream through you guys!
Thanks for the update, good to see Derek too. Love your channel, I watch you and weedemandreap whenever you’re on.
Great video!!!!
I'm so glad dawn is doing well shes such a gorgeous doe
Hi Crystal! Good video as always. I love your garden ... you can pass me a plate of salad out of your next bowl. I just had a thought about the ding-a-ling girls ... if you can spare a child for a few minutes, have one cut down some of the pasture grass so that you can hand feed it to them. It might help them learn to trust your hands. Thanks again for the video!
Very good video!
i love your video s
I came here for Weed'em & Reap and I honestly love your channel, you have a lovely family! Blessings from Uruguay
P.S .: Your garden is looking amazing!
They are all beautiful but omg my favorites venus and vogue 💕💕🐐🐐💞💞❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so excited about those girls!!
Whew!! Thank you for the update, I knew you guys would be super busy this season. After all this, I can just imagine what next season will be like!!
Lol! I'm a little scared for what I've created for the next season 🤣
Great video as always. Good to know the updates on everyone. Sorry to hear about Anna but I do understand totally. Love all the names. one question is Becky name used to be Gold Dust? Thank you and stay well.
We bought 1 raspberry plant and it spread like wild fire. We are constantly pulling the little plants that come up in the area around it.
No idea how hard farming and working is...
.no I wouldn't have thought they'd like cactus.. thorns aren't a problem
Peas like almost cold so what about trying to plant them in the fall? Here near Vancouver Canada we plant early in the year before anything else 👍🏻
We planted them in the fall when they usually do great but just didn't this time.
Nise garden it looks awesome
Oh let me tell you my kune kunes te the weeds out and graze the grass down really good
Good video thank you for sharing your life I love to watch
Awsome video. 🙂❤
Please do a labor video like you do with the goats if you breed them! I've learned so much from this channel. It's hard to find videos for new people. I have piglets coming next month and im a very new goat owner.
Hello! We have a TON of labor videos. You can go to our channel page and view our playlists. Here is the playlist of this year's births. ruclips.net/p/PLrv2polBobRkvgM9uzvzvQcxIDIlvW-YL
Are you planning on getting female pigs for the male pigs to breed?
Nice video ❤️
Beautiful God
I'm so excited for you guys. It sounds like you'll be having a great time with everything going on on the farm. I'm glad you got pigs from weed em & reep. I watch the too. Hugs and love. Be safe and well.
I did notice the absence, I put it down to time to take a breath and relax until it all starts over again.I always have a lump in my through when I see the goats responding to the affection and care they are given. Kind regards.
Could Lacy be used to help calm one or two of the crazy goats? I’m just wondering because she is an older goat that knows the ropes and knows and trusts you.
Not how it works necessarily.
Dawn is doing good 😍 she's such a pretty doe. You could say that about all your goats!
"BEAUTIES" The Weed em and Reep piggies are a very good addition.. You'll have good luck with them! (Pasture pig's ✔) I am off to work have a wonderful day!
🕊💞🙏🏼Jeanne
That's where the pigs disappeared from Danielle's pig to your farm and that's cool........
Thanks for the updates on all the things going on at the Farm.
I look forward to seeing all the exciting adventures and new animals on the farm 👍

Thank you, Derek and Crystal for the very nice update!
Glad to see you are well and the farm is thriving!
The critters are all gorgeous!
Welcome to Spring!
Thank you! It feels like summer already here!!
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats --- My sister who resides in Phoenix says the same.
I'm in North County San Diego, and have loved the 3 low 70s temps here, with nights in the upper 50s. Heavenly!
I really like the new wether's/Kunekune pen with shade. I think I'd be living under shade cloth if I lived in Benson, lol!
Awesome update!! Hope that Lacy enjoys her retirement and can be a companion goat to the 5 crazy gals to calm their demeanor.
I like the change in mind of dawn going into retirement and possibly be breeding and possibly showing again. She looks great and still has life. I suggest seeing how she is before the next breeding, if she is able do it if you feel no then don’t.
Ana poor thing she will be culled, but she could not make the cut and that needs to be done. Unless someone buys her. I think she could be a companion goat for someone also if they do purchase her. If not food for the table like the wethers. Like my chickens I have to do that too.
Those kune kune pigs are awesome! When you get the guilt and more you guys will be set to sell, eat, and have more meat selection. I think that is a investment.
The garden looks great and the tin-man is still there I was wondering about him. Hahaha it is great to see that the farm updates. :-) 🙏🏽🤗❤️
Yay your getting back to some sort of normalcy! I am still not! I have 7 2 week old Kidd’s I have 35 Cornish cross meat chickens that are almost freezer size . And I have a handful of 3 year old hens that have all but stopped laying so they’ll join the plucking party and get canned . Plus I have so many bee hives that are needing fed and watered because of the crazy weather it’s been so cold they should be exploding with worker bees and gatherers but they’re slow to take off . And let’s not forget milking the goats . Crazy year !
You are busy!
Thank you for the current update. Glad to see Derrick again...time to see another Derrick and Lucky conversation. I just love Lucky to pieces (yea, I worry about me too. :-) Do you have any pictures of Lucky as a baby? Hard to imagine him as one of those sweet little kids, would love to see a side by side of a baby picture and current.
Are you going to give the pigs names? I look forward to more videos in the future.
Are you guys ever gonna expand upon your chickens at all? I love seeing everything you're doing with everything else! So awesome! In the long run what are your goals for your farm?
PIGGIES!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Think it so cool that you and Donell’s family on weed m nreap are sharing animals back and forth. Love both of your vlogs!!!
Also, Maddie's doe sits like a kitten when you hold her lol
😻
😾
Do you like kitten ? I have one she is so naughty 🐈 but I love her
Have ya'll thought of doing a CIDR on Ana? Maybe that could jump start her cycles?
Awesome update!!! So excited to hear all the new names!!!! Great to know y'all are doing well!!!!!
Stay safe!!!
Those goat hugs look so damn cute ❤❤❤
Love my goat hugs!
I love all the names for the babies! I'm very excited about all the changes! Looking forward to more videos!
I have been waiting for this video lol so exciting
Loved the update. Been thinking of you all!!
GREAT video! Thank you for the updates and info!! You always share the best, most useful information. Love watching 🥰
I love your farm, animals and family! I watched all the kidding videos. I love how informative Crystal is about the goats. This is a must channel for anyone who wants to own a few Nigerian Dwarf goats. I love them!!! I love your channel! ♥️♥️♥️
🤗
Yeah TIN! 😀 Good thinking Derek with the tin roof, your all doing a great job! ✌wonderful Crazy time we've had !
I love 💕 your videos thanks for sharing
Nice update...your animal family is growing 😎❤️
Must be bittersweet with the kids all leaving. The little pigs are adorable this should be interesting following along with them.
Guys you should breed Val with Merle in next breeding season!!
