My grandfather raised 42 goats in Camas Valley Oregon. I grew up Going there. And absolutely loved Milking and taking care of the goats. Miss Those days a lot.🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐💙💜
When you said the banded bucklings were doing fine I was like hearing that sound and thinking that does not sound fine to me! why they sound like that? And then I remembered that there’s pigs in there and that is the squealing of the pigs not the goats. 😂
I agree with the heat being a problem- it even reduces milk production and/or changes the flavor in humans too! Anytime you change herd dynamics it's stressful- I wouldn't see it as a failure, considering the circumstances I think they did really well.🧡🙂🐐
Praying you can work from home soon. You and your family work very hard on the ranch. Love learning about your family and all your goats and other farm animals.
I was very impressed with how much milk they give you for little goats. I hope that you get to work from home and do the 305 test I'm sure they would all get 🌟 without a doubt. Thanks for sharing this with us . Love your videos 💖💯
Hey they did great!! None the less, they are SUPER STARS!! They will all get it next time. They are champions!! This was a great and interesting video!! This was not a disappointment it was amazing!! The wethers are looking great!!
Thank You for showing us your girls! I love seeing them without being posed- and I use them to evaluate my goats and see if they're even close😁. They look like they have wonderful dairy skin... can you give us a look at how loosey goosey they are?😋
Wow I think all the goats did excellent with all things considered. I love your set up, so lovely to watch. I get some great ideas for my place. Thanks for sharing.
They are amazing animals and definitely could have been those two stress factors. We live & learn. I hope to keep this in mind if I chose to do that. Thank you for sharing!
I can tell just by comparing the requirements from the 305 test that others are doing that it's much easier to achieve then the one day milk test. Some goats aren't even putting 2 lbs in per milking, and they are projected to pass. So obviously your girls will blow away the 305 day test. Your girls are beautiful and fabulous milkers! I have every confidence in them! Thank you for all the great videos!
It's a shame they didn't get their stars but they're all so blooming beautiful it kinda makes up for it 🥰. Dawn is just a beauty, I hope you get another doe out of her in the next breeding season 💕
What a beautiful blue shirt Chrystal ! I was surprised and sad for you folks about the milk test. Can you retake it ? Your goats always do so well, it must be a real disappointment !Your dog is beautiful too. Good job family( you can't say kids to a family raising goats) on grooming her.
They may not have gotten their milk stars but they did absolutely fabulous! There were so many things that could have caused them not to reach their milk stars, but even so they did exceptionally well you should be very very pleased which I'm quite sure you are. They're all lovely ladies and I just cannot wait to see what the future holds for them and their next kidding season!
Awe that stinks sorry to hear that I know you hoped for better results. Hopefully next year will be better. No matter what your does are wonderful 😁 Dane looks like he really enjoyed the brushing. Thank you for the update
That’s awesome Crystal!!! Those who missed their stars, I have NO doubt that they’ll get them next year.🏅 I’d heard that one day milk tests are REALLY hard to get, and this kind of confirms it - you guys have amazing lines! Good girls, you’re all brilliant little ladies. ❤️🐐❤️
Wow still some very awesome scores!!!! You have much to be proud of in your herd!!!!! Next year will be the year!!!!!! Just got my Blue Cactus t-shirt!!! Can't wait to sport your logo around Kentucky!!!!! Stay safe!!!!!
✨Next time will be better. I must say, I’m enjoying the new format of shorter videos, and greater frequency. I enjoy the day to day happenings. Keep it up as long as it works for you, and the family. I do have one question though. Do your two youngest go to a local school, or are the home schooled? I was simply curious because videos never mention school activities, or events, and accomplishments. I figure they do more than work, and play with the goats.✨🐐✨
Our weather man featured your temps for this week because of the heat. It is brutal for your area this week. Today Kansas City area is 92° right now. Take care. BTW the new camera is great. You were well lit under the tree when you were banding the bucks.
You got some VERY close numbers on your girls, Crystal! Next year will be the charm -- testing in April, when it's not so hot, etc. All the does look wonderful. They are producing well, and not losing weight or going out of condition. A great indication that you are doing everything right : ) Dawn really looks good. Like you, I was concerned she would start going downhill after her diagnosis-- and she's beautiful! I would be really tempted to breed her again in October, especially if she maintains her condition. Those scores are very good & you should be proud. Congratulations -- next year will be even better!
I agree ONE DAY is very hard. (I have never had goats so know little more than what I learn from you😌) This lets us know the true value of it when you DO get ✨ 😁
I so wish I could come hug your fur babies. The girls did great in my opinion. Vader is such a handsome boy. He is going to have some gorgeous kids. Love to your family from Texas!!
Don't be disappointed...you've told us it was a one day milking, so if the testing was as usual, they'd have come in much better than showing in that test. Your dairy goats are beautiful and you treat them with respect. Bless you for that.
So close on some of your girl’s! Damn Crystal, I didn’t know you work full time outside the ranch. Your one busy lady! I can’t believe how fast these babies grow! So adorable:) I was showing my husband your making of cheese video, he said I bet it’s delicious and ask if she sells it? He would heat the whole thing, I think I could come close..lol Have a great rest of your day! ✌🏻
I know NOTHING about goats or milk productions... other than what i have learned from your channel. There was a whole lot of birthing going on this year, as you showed. And with that comes a lot of care and prep for those you are keeping and those going to new homes. New crazy goats trying to acclimate. I appears that you had super good test results... considering. I would think that some of the deficits would be very obtainable on the next test for some.... now that you can laser focus on the cream of the crop. Thanks for bringing us all that you do. I so enjoy your channel.
Oh darn it I was sure hopeing for you and your girls (no pun intended). I am still proud of you and all your families hard work however lookout next year you will kick butt and take names. You guys all take care stay safe stay healthy and stay happy 😊 God Bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏🌻🌻🌻🌸🌸🌸
I hope you can work from home Crystal!!! I love love love this channel and I don’t have goats , but I want some sooo bad ! Just a few as pets , no milking though lol 😂 I love the new camera quality!! So sweet how all of them, pigs too 💕 greeted you at the pen ! They love you ! The pup enjoyed that brush down , so precious
There all stars in my mind, very hard country to get high butterfat ,feeding more supplements ie grain and lucerne is costly. Love them all family and goats
Hi Crystal! Good video as ever. The test results are a bummer; I think your girls would do better with the longer test, the one you participate in at the show. On a personal note, regarding Covid-19, I'm in Florida, and we're spiking again; so are you in Arizona. With the way things are going, I'm afraid to go anywhere. I hope you're still working from home. Take good care of yourself and your clan. I'm ready for the light at the end of this tunnel.
Wow so close with a couple! Especially in a 1 day test?!?!?!?! Impressive! When will you start accepting reservations/down payments for next year's kids? Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
We take payment in full. Fort to buy the goat owns it. So we have an notification list you can get on for $25. You get emailed the kids born before we post them to the website or social media
They might not have stars, but they have our hearts. We love them too.
Well said, jimmie! We all feel that way!
My grandfather raised 42 goats in Camas Valley Oregon. I grew up Going there. And absolutely loved Milking and taking care of the goats. Miss Those days a lot.🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐💙💜
Great caring Crystal raising fantastic fancy goats 😘🥰
Well done Ladies, your still a 🌟 in our eyes..
Better Luck next year
Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Natasha Green, I'm from Australia too. I love this channel and hang out to watch it.
They are ALL BEAUTIFUL GIRLS. GOD BLESS YOU AND THEM FOR ALL YOUR WORK.
Your goats are beautiful! I cant wait till I'm able to get a baby from yall!! Hopefully next year! Love from KY!!
I'm sorry the ladies didn't get their milk stars, I love them all anyway. Thank you for sharin' your milk tests! :)
When you said the banded bucklings were doing fine I was like hearing that sound and thinking that does not sound fine to me! why they sound like that? And then I remembered that there’s pigs in there and that is the squealing of the pigs not the goats. 😂

🦘🐨🦘🐨🦘
It will be so much sweeter when the girls do get their stars.
So, so hoping you will be able to quit your current job to work all on the farm next year. How wonderful would that be - the channel is growing!!
🤗
Your goats are exceptional, just like their shepherdess.
Thank You for showing us your girls! I love seeing them without being posed- and I use them to evaluate my goats and see if they're even close😁. They look like they have wonderful dairy skin... can you give us a look at how loosey goosey they are?😋
I love to hear the pounds they milked for the day 😁 good job goaties ♥️
You’ll get ‘em next year Crystal!!!
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuperb I love your goats
Wow I think all the goats did excellent with all things considered. I love your set up, so lovely to watch. I get some great ideas for my place. Thanks for sharing.
They are all stars. The one day test is a tough one. We all know your girls put serious milk in the pail. Awesome does, awesome herd!!!
🤗
I think Dawn is the prettiest of all! 🐐❤ but they're all beautiful!! ❤❤❤
They are amazing animals and definitely could have been those two stress factors. We live & learn. I hope to keep this in mind if I chose to do that. Thank you for sharing!
I think the three of those girls will definitely get their stars next year!!🤞🤞😊
So closeeee.... errrrr...
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
Good to see you human kids giving that handsome boy a good brushing. He will be so much cooler. He is awesome!
I still believe you have awesome goats better luck next year

Wow! They were all so close. They'll get it next year.
Congrats, they still did awesome! Lol the pigs are just like their parents, give me lovies right now lol

I would love it if you would document your 305 milk test, when you do it. I find it very interesting.

How do raise your goats to be beautiful healthy milking goats? Your goats are just gorgeous. 😉🐐
Hi Crystal! Good video as ever. The test results are a bummer; I think your girls would do better with the longer test, the one you participate in at the show.
On a personal note, regarding Covid-19, I'm in Florida, and we're spiking again; so are you in Arizona. With the way things are going, I'm afraid to go anywhere. I hope you're still working from home. Take good care of yourself and your clan. I'm ready for the light at the end of this tunnel.
Oh so bummed for you they did not get their stars. They are all ⭐️ stars to me
I don't know how you can be in that heat without a hat. You take care
You are an inspiration to me I have my own goats and I love to milk them💗🐐
Hey, I got reminded of this video and got to wonder... Did you guys do milk test this year? I don't remember if you said anything about it...
Sorry you didn’t get you milk stars. But your goat are awesome xx
Wow so close with a couple! Especially in a 1 day test?!?!?!?! Impressive! When will you start accepting reservations/down payments for next year's kids? Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
If you go to their website they have a list, I believe you pay 20$ and then you get notified before the public does.
We take payment in full. Fort to buy the goat owns it. So we have an notification list you can get on for $25. You get emailed the kids born before we post them to the website or social media
@@BlueCactusDairyGoats great! Thank you! 💕
Ah bummers
Sorry Crystal you worked so hard. Do they have goat nutritionists. Thank you for sharing your journey its really interesting.
