Line Breeding Or Inbreeding??
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- There are so many questions that come up when you are trying to breed for improvement in your herd. This is never a quick, simple answer. It takes a lot of years to learn what a quality goat should be and where you want your herd to improve. This video breaks down the bloodlines of our goats and how keep our lines close. AKA, line breeding. We started with some really good foundation does and choose to carry that through our herd so we don't lose those great qualities. We call this line breeding. Don't mess up though, because then it is considered inbreeding.
Welcome to the Blue Cactus Dairy Goat Ranch! We breed show quality Nigerian Dwarf Goats! We currently have a herd of 15 does and 4 bucks. Our herd is rotationally grazed on our 10 1/2 acre homestead in Arizona. We also raise chickens for eggs and meat and keep a large garden year round!
On our channel we teach how we trim hooves, deworm, copper bolus, draw blood, milk shave, shave for show, compete in shows, milk test, breed, register, transport, assist in goat births, bottle feed babies, wean kids, how to milk, use a milk stand, make cheese, make homemade ice cream, make compost, grow vegetables, and have fun in mountains and creeks!
Follow our adventures as we grow our Herd, our Food, and our Family!

I need a notebook and a highlighter for this video 📒✏📌 lol
Lol! I almost did!!
I really like to learn so much about your herd. Such beautifull goats ❤
Thank you!!
The goats are impressive but the kiddos are where your values shine. Love your channel, you help me more that you know.
That is the sweetest comment!! Thank you for that! I'm a pretty big fan of my kiddos 😁
You have an outstanding herd, and it's obvious that you work hard at constantly improving it. Thanks for sharing the fruits of your considerable labors!
Thank you!!
Love love love your videos, family, goats, and all the knowledge in stuff I never knew! Please keep em coming and have a wonderful day!!!
Love the cheese videos too!!!
Thank you! Hope your day was wonderful as well!
It’s good that you are continuing to selectively add new blood to the lines!
Very informative!!!! I had no idea the herd was so closely interconnected!!! Interesting to hear the lineage!!!!
Yes. We love our lines and keep them close ;)
This was very informative and has helped me to make some plans within my own herd. Love your videos as always!
That's awesome!! Glad it helped 😁
That is so interesting.
That was so fascinating to learn about the herd's linage. Great video!
The best part of this video is playing with the dogs. I love all your videos, happy, sad, and in-between.
Stopping by from Lumah Acres while you delivering their new goats.
You have some beautiful goats.
Lots of information. What matters is that you know who you're breeding. Interesting with keeping the letter names which makes it easier to know who's the mama and who's the daddy. Thanks for sharing.
I love the Lacy line, Legend, Lillie, Lodi, Lidi and so forth and I also love the Lucky line as well. They are all awesome but those were 2 of my favorites Lacy and Lucky lines.
Thanks for sharing!!! Beautiful goats!
Thank you!
Crystal is such a loving caring Mother to her family and flock ,a joy to watch x
you are so full of great information for new homesteaders. thank you and your family for being generous and sharing your experiences and knowledge!!!!
i love dawn, shes my personal favorite
Beautiful goats, I loved Dane playing at the end......he was wound up LOL
Lol! He is such a funny dog!
Thank you for explaining your bloodlines. When I bred horses I wanted to know bloodlines. I was also at the births of my foals ❤️ your channel
I’m glad to see your blue heeler is on the heavy side cause everyone says my is to fat but seeing your it’s heavier then mine not saying any bad I’m just glad mine is not the only one 👍😀
Lol. Are you calling my Ding fat!? When we neutered him he gained weight. May have something to do with the goat milk treats tho lol. We call him our sausage! Dont get it confused though. He is a great protector when he needs to be fat or not 🤣
Very interesting!!! A lot of work, but very rewarding. Love how you interact with your nanny’s. Their kids are beautiful. Love your channel and family. Thank you for sharing .
Great info! You have some great looking goats!
Thank you!
The quiet "you stink" made me laugh.
Lol. He really did!!
Blue Cactus Dairy Goats stink man
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats - Bucks always stink. (said playfully)
Educational to see goat bloodlines. Interesting.
You know how much I love Cami!! She is my dream goat! And of course Lucky! That tongue! 😂🤣
Lol
Hill Valley Farm, I love Lucky too.
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 on the Fantastic breeding season. The kids ALL LOOK great.
So glad for you all the “Kids” are on the ground and well. All my love,
Ellen D Queensland, Australia.
As I said before, I love your goats and their family. I always wanted to live on a farm but life took me in another direction.Im happy with my life. I have 4 children and 4 grandchildren. I also take care of feral cats and dogs. And get them home
You have a BEAUTIFUL family!! 💗💗💗 Animals and humans both!! 💕💕💕
I think you did a wonderful job with explaining your bloodlines within your herd.
Thanks lady :)
I really like your way of keeping the first letter of the Dam's name as the first initial of the Kid's name. I may incorporate that tactic into my herd haha. Will be much easier to keep track for future reference :)
It works well for us!!
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful goats you got there.
Thank you!
Great information thank you for sharing
That's why there all beautiful thank you
Ha! I need a spreadsheet for this. I've raised pedigreed rabbits, and registered pigs, so I get it.😉 This is what it takes for a beautiful herd.
Your videos are so informative!
Thank you again 🙏🙏🙏
I Love goats! They are soooooo cute! Love them!
May is gorgeous
Lodi looked like she was posing for photos and maybe she might sign them! Ha ha
Lol
Crystal we here have just had another showing of “Little bits” labour. I feel for “Litt’ bit” inher labour but I also feel for you in that type of situation. It must be so hard on you. I think I understand YOUin these terribly tough times when you, who loves these darling animals so very much, sitting there with them, going through the hardest times of their darling lives. I was a midwife for quite a few years before I went back to general nursing and even when I had my 3rd baby I became VERY aware of the danger I saw myself in. I was in the midst of having a 9lb 9oz baby in a full-on breach. I think at one particular point in time we all realised the severity of my situation.
You must be very aware of that type of moment at times. It is just a moment nobody says anything, it isn’t anything one person can voice but it is a very real moment of the severity of the situation and I’m sure you felt that with Little-bit that day.
You are a very clear thinker and you were aware of how threatening that moment felt,
Love ❤️ 💕 💗 you my dear friend on the other side of the world, you are very close and dear to me. If ever you need someone to chat to my email is “bobelle3@gmail.com.
All my love ALWAYS, Ellen

smart breeding plan... line breeding done right is the way to go. We had to pay special attention with our breed of dogs; what won in the ring took over breeding out health issues.
I Will be coming to az April 9th hopping to stop by you
great goats and kids, i only have 2 bucks and 2 does all un related, i will be breeding each pr this fall, in oct ( following your lead) ill have lots of questions for next year
lol
Lol! I'll be here to answer if I can ;)
Yes Dawn is my fav too ❤️❤️. Hope she produces some spotted babies this time.
Happy to see if you have any pictures of obey, dreams come true, superman...
Coming from lumbar to show support!!! Nice channel?😎
Hello and Thank You!
I wish you would have explained more about what the terms inbreeding and linebreeding mean. Enjoyed meeting your goats.
Yes, I'd like some clarification, as well.
Here is a link to a video that I went more into detail about line breeding. The saying is, if you do it right it is called line breeding, if it goes wrong then it's inbreeding." However, it's the same thing. Lol ruclips.net/video/A5xVcOu-qls/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/A5xVcOu-qls/видео.html
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats Thanks! Now I can find out if I've been line breeding or inbreeding (plays "Deliverance" theme).
Lol!
When do you sleep? 😂😂 You are soooo busy. ❤❤❤
Great info!
I like this video.
⚘
Hi Crystal! Good video, as usual. Y'know, I have a thing for colors, and I really like seeing how color traits move from dams and sires to kids. For example, Lucky has white patches at the base of his ears like his dam Lacy; and Merle has a white band around his chest like his sire Lucky. It will be very interesting to see the results of the upcoming breeding. I'm confident you'll have some beautiful, colorful kids! Y'all take good care --
I can't wait either!! Only half a year left for babies 🙄🙄🤭
Oh the first face I see is Mr. Lucky. Crystal I’m learning the animals names. Oh Mayo is a doll. Abilene is pretty, Lucky makes some beautiful Does. Cami is smooth and pretty. Inbreeding in any mammal is not good idea. It weakens the bloodline and the animals ability to have healthy, confident offspring. Well Crystal is Iris eating table food? I know she loves those smells, my son did and used to open his mouth at 2 weeks old if I was holding him whiles I was eating. She is such a pretty happy baby. Well I will get out of here and do my blood test for my diabetes. You take care.
I "linebreed" and it works awesome!! 😂 Iris is eating baby food now and some table food. She LOVES her big people food lol. She is getting too big too fast for sure!!
Kids are very beautiful
Have you decided to move yet? I love all your goats.
There will be a test on this afterwards. OH MY GOAT?
So complicated but important for goof show goats, and better sale prices, just curious what a doe from your herd goes for?
We are having good success with quick improvement in the herd. Our goats go for $600-$1000
✨Why do the bucks wag their
tongues? Are they tasting the
air for hormonal changes with
the does, or is it something
else?✨🐐✨
Are bottle babies not as good just curious because I'm breaking a kiko oberhasli cross doe now and i was hoping to breed her to a pigmy and come up with a good dual purpose medium goat. I hope i made the right decision
It is confusing, you said to not breed full brother and sister, but what about 1/2 brother and sister i have a buck and a doe with same mom but different dads, could i bred them together? TIA
Ooh abilene is perty too
Thanks for this video. Could you do a video going over important confirmation traits of a pretty doe? I could use some help assessing my does. And also learning how to assess kids to determine which ones are keepers.
I’m wondering things like how long in the back they need to be. And does it matter if the front legs toe out ?
Here is a video that breaks down the confirmation and what the ADGA scorecard looks for in a perfect goat. ruclips.net/video/MiDspL5SWpQ/видео.html
Imma need a flow chart, I'm such a visual person 😅😅😅
So..conclusion? What best choose? Line or inbreed..🧐
This was great insight cause I did the same with my chickens hahahaha but for different reasons.
Those bucks and their shenanigans, blubbering, and smell.... it must have taken a lot to stand by the pen. Hahahaha I could not stand our buck cause he was SO odiferous!! Hahahahaa
I would love to see the family tree made for your goats but that might take a while to compose.
Great video!!🤗🙏🏽❤️
Lol! Those boys do smell. That wasn't my biggest worry though. I just didnt want them to spit!! Lol
Blue Cactus Dairy Goats hahahaha that and the flying pee hahahaha
OMG so scary!!
Blue Cactus Dairy Goats Hahahaha right!! Talk about run to the shower when they do that!! Yuck!!!!!!!(nightmares) hahahaha
Oh man! I have some funny stories! Non of of which I was caught in the stream! That wouldn't be funny at all lol!!
Local (?) problem here in the Northeast with breeding exclusively to paperwork genetics. I've looked at so many goats for sale and their pedigrees. Does with grandparent champion milkers have turned out all sorts of Frankenstein kids that fail to bring forth the qualities of the line, if not just terrible goats prone to all sorts of maladies, which are again bred to more pedigrees...
I turned down a number of pedigree goats that were purported to be excellent dairy goats per genetics.
Is this something you'd consider touching on? What qualities do you decide to cull from breeding program?
I am in AZ. I have to say, paperwork does not make a goat! You can breed to exceptional goats and their genetics combined just dont make good kids! On the other side, you can have one kid from same parents that isnt that great and another that is exceptional. There is never a guarantee the breeding from two great goats with throw good offspring. Never look at just the pedigree. Although pedigree is VERY important, make sure to see the dam and sire. Udder pictures and evaluate the actual goat you are buying. Here is a video of the ADGA scorecard for traits that should be looked for in animals purchased and for improvement in your own herd ruclips.net/video/MiDspL5SWpQ/видео.html
Hope that helps!
How many hours of milking is required for that many goats?
I’m starting to look for bucks to breed to we don’t have our own yet... 😂 have you heard of old mountain farm goats? There is a 9 year waiting list for kids what the!!! 😂😂
Yes!! She has lovely goats! That's a long waiting list though lol. I didnt know that!!
Johnson Family Farmstead Wow!! 9 years!!!
New Day Farm yes! I could not believe it. Upon further research I believe they are worth the wait ♥️
Johnson Family Farmstead I gotta Ck this out!
So what would the eye color look like if they had worms?
My dream
Lol and I thought I had a lot of names to remember with my goats. Lol I had someone ask me how do I remember all there names and I said it's like having a bunch of kids. My husband on the other hand don't remember their names.
Lol. We all know their names but I get messed up all the time. Kinda like when you call for one of your 4 kids but the one you are calling is the 4th name you scream out 🤣🤣
Would love to see a picture of what Obie looked like
What’s the average price for a healthy doe?
Wish list, A buck from Made it, A Doe from Cassie & & Lodi Gem. Because Dairy , That's my , Wish list. From Santa ,& Throw in Little Bits baby girl too. My Santa wish list complete .
I have a sensitive question, how much did you sell dream come true for?
How much do you sell your babies for just curious
So who’s your top choice doe and buck and why?
My absolute favorite doe is May. Then her daughter we retained, Mayo was so gorgeous when she freshened!! Looks just like her mama but larger teats. Mayo/Everest breeding was awesome. She just had 2 bucklings or I would have retained a doe. So so wide and perfect all around. I want to see if I have the same kids from May and Mayo paired with Everest. So I am most excited about those kids lol!
How is your problem doe doing?. Is she still with you?
What does it mean when you are helping with kidding and you say they are poled? I hear blue eyes, female, moon spots = all good things but don’t know what the poled thing is.... if I’m even saying it right....;)
Polled means naturally hornless
Blue Cactus Dairy Goats thank you for such a quick response! I love learning so much about your goats. You do a great job educating us that know nothing about them at all. Again thank you 😊
Good morning crystal
My name is carly we just got to nanny goats that we are trying to milk , but I think these goats are 1 years old never been milked what can do to teach them
They cry all day and night looking for their babie
Force them onto the milk stand and milk them every 12 hours. Give them a treat while there on the stand, such as a little chicken scratch but not to much. It will take awhile for them to come around. -Derek

Would love to know there show names . Beautiful goats . I only have a few . I love researching bloodlines
You can get their papered names on our website:) www.bcdairygoats.com
Awsome thank you love looking at nigerian dwarf pedigrees . I only have a few and im in northern bc Canada but i have a few with US goats in there background
How old do you retire a doe
what do u do w/ the goat milk?
ruclips.net/p/PLrv2polBobRnu8lAKRa1wPGckpCYREqJD
thank u but I don't see how u have time w/ doing recipes w/ all the love and care u give the goats and your family
Lol! It is a second job no doubt! For sure couldnt let all that delicious goat milk go to waste though! We dont sleep much hahaa
I’ve always wondered what happened to Lucky’s ear? :)
Hahaha! I've always wondered why nobody's asked!. When he was a young, teenager buck he was along the fence with our older buck, Duke. They came into rut and he decided he was ready to show his strength. We didnt see it happen but pretty sure Duke bit it off when they were fighting. We never found the tip of his ear! Needless to say, we put boards up along the part of the fence that they could see each other and the fighting stopped. Boys get very serious during rut..
Crazy boys for sure! I think it gives Lucky character!
Sou Brasileiro ♥️♥️me de um coraçãozinho 😚
💕
What does pull mean? Getting into goats and might get 2. But trying to get the terms.
Polled means naturally hornless
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats oh ok thank you. My friend didn't know and has a homestead but no goats but thinking of getting them. I watch weed um and reap but they dont get as into it as they dont do shows.
Abilene is gorgeous
I am so excited to see her developed and mature!!
How is a Doe's milk graded and who grades it. (What I mean is can the owner grade it or is it lab tested sorta deal?) Still learning about goats we plan to one day get Nigerian dwarfs as well. Also can you tell me, the breeders/farms you got your goats from?
We dont sell our milk commercially so it isnt graded. I give it an A+++++ for taste though ;). Most of our goats are from our breedings but you can find their lines on our website if you are interested. Link in the description of the video.
Who is Little Bit's father?
His name was Duke. We no longer own him.
Who and where is obi?
OBIE is an amazingly bred doe that passed away at 14 yrs old. Champ is out of her last kidding. May is a daughter of hers also.
Who is Dreams Come True's dad?
DF Farms EDH Captain America
What makes a goat a five star?
5th generation to earn their milk star.
Whats retain mean
Keep the kids
So many names 😂 starting to feel like that on our little farm. Isn’t it funny when choosing a name it really has to stick!!!
We were told getting into goats, you can cross moms and son but not brother and sister?. It always confuses me lol!
Hahaha! Never brother to sister. Start away from siblings for sure. We never breed daughter to father or mother to son either. Look for about 15% linebred percentage give or take. So many things to look at before line breeding though! Line breeding can quickly improve your herd or quickly destroy it!
Blue Cactus Dairy Goats good to know!!! Thank you!! We’re trying to figure out which avenue to go... breed wise. On all spectrum to be honest lol. We just love and enjoy them as it is! We have a ND who is registered and a champ and also a kiko boer buck... so big vs smaller 😁 I love them both so I don’t know what to do 🤣
Hahha! I hear you! I love all the breeds. A goat is a goat. Buuutt.... not even!! They are all so different from breed to breed. Obviously, my favorite breed is Nigi. Just make sure to never breed a larger breed buck to a smaller breed doe. Kinkos are a wonderful multi purpose breed for milk and meat. Nigis are dairy and are tastey but dont get much meat compared to the breeds. So depends what your goals are.
Blue Cactus Dairy Goats 🥰🥰 Thank you!! We’re not sure which we’re going to love more. I enjoy milking but haven’t got out there as much as I should! We would also like to try the meat but I fall in love with each baby we have 😂
Looking for some advice....a little Goats for Dummies 101 lol. Do you have an email address?
Would you ever sell, I dont know if that's the right term, your bucks sperm for AI for others herds trying to better their flock?
Who is Little Bit's dad?
Duke. We no longer own him
Uau so Dawn and Little Bit are Sisters?
Half sister, yes
That is so interesting
And who was Dreams Come True's dad (Dawn's grandfather)
