HUGE Disaster BREEDING Our GOATS

[Music] Good morning, guys. Welcome to slave labor. Just joking. Welcome to fall. We got pumpkins. These are just two of the many that we're going to be buying. Sam bought these because they were on sale today. You want to smash it? >> Yeah. >> I don't know about that. >> But we're going to give the extras, like the leftover to the goats and to the horses. Anyway, Sophie is working on the second part of our wood pile for this winter. Ever since we moved into this farm, every time I try and start talking, there's like a noise. Hold on. Okay. So, ever since we moved into this farm, some of you guys have seen it. Every time I've wanted something or needed to do something, I found the stuff that we needed around the property. Like those rocks right there. See those rocks? There's tons of them all over this property. I found them to make a rock garden. Once I wanted a bench to put in the horse barn, the horses destroyed it. I think it was Penny or Lady. I think Penny. I found a bench just sitting here on this porch. I every time we've needed wood, like when we first moved in, every time we needed wood to build something because we were building fixing the barns up for our animals, we'd just go into the top of the barn of the goat barn and we'd find everything we needed. And it kind of slowed down over time. But it hasn't ended, you guys. Like still so much of what I want to do, I just walk out and say like, "Oh, I want to do this today." And then I find it on this property. Let me show you. Sophie uses used these band these ice bandages. You put them in the freezer and they turn to ice. She used them. Our lady yesterday, she uses them every time she jumps her. The last few days I've been thinking about having our babies, our b our goat babies, and thinking like a lot of my friends don't even breed in winter because they're afraid of the cold weather affecting the babies. We've been really lucky. Our barn is really, really warm. It's insulated and it's built into a hill and it's wood and stone. I don't know. It's just really warm. Like it's cold in the mornings here now and when I go in in the morning into the barn, I'm always like freezing cold. Then when I walk into the barn, it's just warm. It's like walking into a home. It's so nice. So anyways, I was thinking like this year a lot of the insulation I've noticed has come out. I'll show you when I get down there. So I said to Sam, I'm like, "We need to buy some insulation. I'm going to stuff these spots again with insulation and make it better and make it warmer for this year. And you know what he said? Oh, there's insulation in the barn. Yep. That's what I mean about this house. Literally, everything you could ever want is just here. So, that's the bag right there. And I may need to buy more. Shoot. All right. I got it down. So, this is it. It's a huge bag. Super dusty from being in this barn. But I'm going to get the girls to come and help me put this in. I'll show you guys where I'm going to put it. And then I'll get the girls to come down and help me. I'm going to have to get gloves. I'm going to have to find gloves for all of us, though. But it's not going to be beautiful. It's not going to be a perfect job. It's not going to be professional. We're just going to shove it where I want it. I'll show you. It's not for playing. Oh, look at how sweet he is. He's making up to Winston because he lost his best friend. You little monster. Honestly, he's so sneaky. All right, before I do anything, I'm going to try and let this guy out because I don't think she let him. Did she let you? I mean, he's calmer. He was like, "Whoa, why are you shaking? What's the matter? Neither one of them is very happy. Come on. Out you go. Go quick. Come on. Out this way. Yeah, I know you'd like to go out there. Come on. Out you go. Good boy. Now that was easy. So, are you pregnant? She's not very happy. [Music] Go quick because Posy's going to Oh my You guys. You guys. This is not fun. It's not fun. They're all in because of Posie. Let's see if I can get them out. Pray for me. Get out, man. Get out. Get out. Get out right now. Get out. Get out. Get out. [Music] Ow. Ow. [Music] Yeah, this is not fun for me either. Out. Get out. [Music] Out. Out. [Music] This is not fun for me either. Ouch. Get out. Oh my god. Get out. you guys. [Music] Okay, this is awful. Absolutely awful. Two left. The worst ones. [Music] Go out out. Get out there. Get out. Oh my god. You're fat. [Music] Wow. You almost made it. Now I see where your mother gets it from. Get out. [Music] Absolutely horrible. I think I hurt my lip. I like stuck my finger up goat's butts by mistake. Try to push them out the door. I got to wash my hands. I'll be right back. That was wild. I don't know if you guys have to see any of it because the camera was up so high, but it was awful. Anyways, so I wanted to show you guys. So this is the baby stall. We put this up there. I don't know if you guys got to see one of the babies try and jump the wall. Yeah. Well, they can. So that's why that's there. So this is the stall. And it's This stall is not insulated. It's in the middle of the barn. That stall over there is not insulated. That stall over there, which should actually it might be. Actually, it might be. I'm going to insulate that one for sure. Okay. So, let me show you. I'll go over there. I can even show you right here. But see this wall? So both of these walls that are outside walls have insulation in them. Well, they did have insulation in them. Oh, there was a lot of insulation in them. Now it's just spiderw webs. So this one and this one over here, this one's got insulation in it. And then all the way in that stall, both walls. So the stall is built away from the rock. And then you can just stick insulation in there. And then just this is Blossom and Toffee and Cricket stall. And just that back wall you can insulate. So it's just like the outside walls. I love it because it's such a good way to to make the barn warmer. Like this barn, it stays cool in the summer. It's 20° right now, 70°. And outside it's scorching. And then in the winter it stays really it stays really nice. So this stall over here that's going to be the baby stall. It doesn't have insulation. Actually it might I should you should open that door and look in there. But there's a whole room behind this stall. There's like a whole room back there. There's like a water closet and a tap and all like different stuff. We I we should go in there and look. Maybe next weekend we'll do that. Anyways, so this one's not insulated because there's stuff behind it. And then in the pig stall, I don't know if I could insulate that. I don't I don't think I could insulate that. Looking at all the work that I have to do, I don't think that that's enough insulation, but it's a good start. So, the girls and I are going to get to to work doing that today. And we're just going to start in one stall and get it insulated so it's warmer. We're going to shove it down there with like a broom posy. Oh my gosh, look at her. She's either sulking because she didn't get her way because I got her out. And let me tell you, it was hard. I had to fight her to the death. And pigs can be mean, but or people say they can be mean. And I have seen pigs be mean, but let me tell you that pig is not mean. I was like fighting her and dragging her and pushing her and not once did she fight me. I should say not once did she bite me cuz she sure did bite me. Oh, now you want to make up. Yeah. Is that the thing? You want to make up? You're sorry. This is how she said she's sorry. Trust me, that was not fun for me to Posie. Anyway, I'm going to go and get the girls and bring them back down here cuz I didn't bring my phone. But before I go, I just Oh my goodness. Why? What? What's going on that it's such an It's such a grouchy mood down here. Hazel's like, "I really wanted that food I found in there, Laura. Let me go back. She's so little." All right, let's just see. Yep, you got good ligaments. I do it to other goats to make her jealous. I mean, she they go soft and then hard and then soft and hard and she only has one and it's on that side. Let's take a look underneath. And she she has nothing. Absolutely nothing. So, every time I try and put my hands back here and feel her belly, she runs away. I can rub her. I can scratch her. I can do all sorts of things to her, but I cannot rub her belly, feel her belly for a baby. I don't know if it's me or if it's them, but there's like a lot of stress in this field today. And you know what it's probably from? It's probably because Tilly was locked in there with the boy. And actually, oh, she's here. I was going to say I wanted to watch and see if she goes back to the fence because I don't know for sure that she was even in heat. She was supposed to come into heat today. She looked like she came into heat yesterday. Lots of times they go into heat a day early. You all are devils. All of you. This one just like her mom. But my favorite thing is when they come to me to protect them. Like if a goat's going to push them off or they're afraid of something and then they run to me and they want me to protect them. Like Toffee does it, Hazel does it, Oakley does it, Cricket does it. All my favorite girls. Hi. Oh, Posy's in heat. I saw her stalking the fence line earlier on the camera. She's the only one in heat today, stalking the camera, and I she just laid down in front of me, and it's obvious that she's in heat. So, I'll forgive you because we all know that you probably are acting not like yourself because your hormones. So, these nice girls, Lola and Toffee, are trying to join forces with this former mean girl. They're like talking to her and and cuddling up to her. Maybe she's still in heat. Maybe she's in heat. Yeah. Look it. She's in heat. Hopefully she's bred. I don't know. They were together for a day and a half, so they better be bred. She better be bread. All right. Where is Gabby? Gabby is coming. And where are we putting it? I'll show you. [Music] And believe it or not, everyone came down to help me. >> Um, not really. >> Maybe not happily, but they all agreed. All right, pray. This is the perfect stuff. Sam says that you can't What? You guys, you just drop it in. All right, so I have spider webs on me. Uh, it's so easy. We don't even need other help. It'll be so fast. We're going to need more bags of it, but we're going to get more of this. So, look, you just take up a pile. Take it. Looks like there was a mouse in here. So, you just take it and drop it in. Sophie says, "We didn't do this last year." And I'm like, I know. Look at that. It's amazing. Well, I would recommend starting at the end. >> Yeah. Here, let me pull it down. >> Put yours in there. It's perfect. It's not just perfect. >> Do we just have enough for one stall? >> Yeah. >> This is perfect. >> We have all different mismatched gloves. >> So, that wall is mostly done because it's got so much hay behind there and straw behind there. So, we did that wall. That's perfect. Sophie did that side. >> Where is it? >> We're going to do this one over here, too. >> I got gloves. Um, do that wall right there. That's nice and thick. Do that wall cuz that's where she sleeps. >> Do the side. >> Oh, Sam said that this side is under the hill. Like you guys know this is this part of the barn is built into a hill. So instead we're going to do loving it. >> Feels like it's ripping. Uhoh. Doesn't fit. >> It's fine. Shove it in there. >> You said don't force it. >> But you can force it to get rid of that thing. >> So the it had pink stuff in there. There. There's pink stuff already in there. And when we moved in, I pulled some of it out because it was just kind of hanging out and it was all like Yeah. Just like that. See, look. Dad did it. Perfect. >> Yeah. Stick it in there. >> Stick it in there in the middle. >> It's full of a right there. >> Yeah. >> Put it in the Wait. >> All right. >> Put stuff in the middle. >> So, that one I don't I don't think I think these are the only two. >> Those are all full with >> It's kind of getting heavy. >> Oh, it's heavy. I'm >> throw it where? Throw it behind. >> I don't know. We can cut that in half there. >> So, technically, we don't even need to buy anymore because >> that's all we really need. Put goats away. >> Yeah, let's put goats away. Everybody complains about the gloves. I found them. Like, the fact that we have winter gloves today on the hottest day ever is a miracle. >> This is my glove. >> I know. I've been I don't know. There's two at the same end. Grab that other end. >> These are the gloves that I've been using to get away with >> Hold on. Don't pull it that much. >> Yeah. Let me cut it. >> I just feel better even just having that little bit. But that stall in the front um feels so much better. >> We could even probably >> I was going to say put it around the window, but we need light. >> Animals need light. >> Nope. That's it. Do you think we need more? >> No. I'm just saying that there's more. We got to use it all. >> Yep. We used it all. Perfect. Good job, team. It's on early now. >> What was it? Spiderweb. More goats are in heat, so we're going to try and switch everything around now and put goats, boys in with girls that need to be bred. So, that's the plan. Breeding season is crazy. The barn is actually a really stressful place right now. It's noisy. Everyone's kind of out of sorts with the whole breeding thing. This is our nighttime routine. She even gives up food for this. I even feel like she's lost a little bit of weight from this. Okay, I feel both ligaments. So, that's another thing Sophie just brought up. Tell them the plan. >> What we should be doing is >> breeding them all to Nico get >> breeding them all to Nico and get half pulled, half horned, and then breed the pulled ones to Ziggy next year. >> Oreo. >> Oreo. Yeah, Oreo or Ziggy. I remember last year we left little baby Ziggy in with Tilly and we left him there for the night and I just prayed he'd be alive when we came down in the morning. But it worked out. I don't feel as bad now because he's so much bigger and he's like the boss of her now. Even though it's just a little thing insulating that barn or just putting a little bit of insulation in that barn, it makes me feel so much better. Like I feel so much better about it. I just I hate my animals to be cold. You're beautiful just the way you are, just the way you came. Don't you know that you're beautiful?
