Baby goats are notorious for having the highest infant mortality rate of all farm animals. That being said, You and Jami have the highest baby goat survival that I have ever seen. You even managed with our beloved Journey who was a little goat that I believe would have perished anywhere else on the planet and with yall she lived a long time and had a life with filled with love and hundreds and hundreds moments of joy. That viewer who accused you torturing Chocolate Chip was talking out of her a$$.
If you have to Xpress the milk out , why not express it into a bottle and feed it to the babies instead of expressing it on the ground I just think that'll be better?
Jami and Lester thank you both for working so tirelessly to help these two new babies. I’ve seen you do this many times and I’m never surprised by it. You are both earning new stars in your crowns. Love you and God bless you.
@carolynhall-frueh3003 yes I seen her milking Roccie, but as big as her bag is she needs alot more to be milked. Be good for Roc's and her baby's to. Thank u for replying to me.
Poor Roxy she's gonna need a couple of car ramps to straddle to help her get her udder up high enough for her babies. Boy as a woman that looks painful. We know Jami, and you will do what's best for the babies. Lester, you need a 7-day supply of baby blue shirts. They definitely bring out your baby blues 👀
I was thinking the same thing. But not sure you could train her to do that multiple times a day so the kids can eat. That would probably mean just as much, if not more time, on Jami and Lester's part as making them bottle babies.
Jami, it’s great that you’ve become a true farm/ranch lady and everything that gets dirty will wash off🤣 You handle those babies really well. You have that special touch.❤
I was trying to figure out how they could do that maybe do it like a milking stand and put some food in front of her and she'll stay up on something...
Roxy looks exhausted but beautiful at the same time. The way she looks to Jami for help is so nice and shows the love and trust Roxy has for you both. I hope you find a solution to the feeding issues. Thank you for sharing those precious babies with us. Sending you love and best wishes from the UK 💜
Facts or this video. 1. Stella and Christmas are still the best surrogate baby helpers. 2. Lester can't keep a secret. 3. Trixie likes to bite tyres. 4. Ringo still showing he's still active even with nonbly knees. 5. Brady and Lenny don't care about babies when there is food to steal. 6. The bathroom is never private
Jami’s had baby Longhorns and goats on her lap trying to get them to eat and has had great success. She never gives up no matter how uncomfortable the situation might be.❤
It is insane that people would come at either one of these people saying that they purposely take the goats from the moms I would like to see whoever wants to say that out there milking a goat in that humid Heat and dealing with the whole situation and putting in the time the work the hours I mean it's just insane and a ton of effort to do what they are doing❤ I think we should all use our time and our comments in a constructive and kind way and tell them how darn good they're doing and thank you for bringing us along to get to experience this through the camera you know it takes a lot of time and effort it's a lot easier to leave the babies on the mom and suffer but they go above and beyond to make sure that these animals don't and to me that speaks to what type of human beings these are they put their animals above their own comfort and needs and time and I think that is pretty outstanding❤
I see you keep your most important items in your safe. lol 🎶Does your bag hang low do your teats hit the ground can you tie em in a knot can you tie em in a bow. Can you throw em over your tail like a continental soldier. Does your bag hang low🎶🎶. Roxy is such a good momma loved her stomping her foot. The names are great!!!Stella is a great nanny. Keep up the good work Jami
I thought the same thing too!! then I realised - poor babies - trying to drink on dragged-through-dirt flavour floor nipples!! 🤣 Roxie needs a hammock for those teats!! or be on a ladder to give the kids a chance!!!
You and Jami are the kindest and most incredible people I've ever (almost) met in my life!!! The love and concern you give is awesome to watch and this is why y'all have such a high success rate of saving animals! I adore their names and I know Chip is smiling down on them from the beautiful evergreen pastures of heaven! The babies are so adorable and I will, of course, be praying for their resilience. Thank you for all the lives you enhance every single day, including mine! 🙏💙🌷Janice
You probably won't see this among the other comments but here goes. What if you got a small goat milking stand, shorter than the rest? If it sat at the right height and you cut a hole that allowed Roxie's utter to hang through enough, the babies might be able find a better position to nurse. Roxie could be given feed or hay to keep her in position and some railings would prevent her from stepping off. Sorry, but I take after my dad in trying to find unusual fixes to problems and situations. It has helped me in the past. Also, sorry if this is nonsense.
What a lot of work Jami. A woman for all seasons.... Corporate Jami. Longhorn and goat bottle feeding Jami. Horse whisperer Jami. So many cats, dogs, longhorns, goats and more living their best lives because of you. A beautiful woman with a huge giving heart❤❤❤❤❤
@@blu...Shirley is not Ringo's daughter, when Freckles's owner left her to Lester's gate, she was already pregnant! Lester himself said that at that time when Freckles gave birth to Shirley. And yes that baby is related to Lenny! Lenny is uncle of Roxy's baby! 😂 Shirley and Stephanie's brown and white buck made Lenny!
@rushikeshmehetre1816 OK cool, so only bit I got wrong was Ringo & Shirly, (it didn't feel right after it typed it). I'll take that. Thank you for getting back to me. Just when I heard some1 say CC is like Lenny but no relation, I Thought he is in a way. How crazy is it we know these family trees so well 😂
Good gravy Marie. Poor Roxie has to be miserable with that bag. Stella just wanted to help. 😊. I hope it all works out. Don’t know who to feel more sorry for. Jami having to bottle feed. Roxie engorged teets or babies having trouble eating. Be safe ❤😊❤
They are also probably struggling to eat because her teets are about twice as big as the babies mouth. When you pulled that blue shirt out of your safe I busted out laughing. Hilarious!
Lester maybe you can make a booster box for Roxy. That way the kids could have better access to her teats. She seems placid enough to have something like a milking station only just to boost her up a bit. It's worth a try.
Hi to Hello Lester - It was a good thing you were behind the camera, while wearing that new blue shirt or we might have had a hard time keeping our eyes off you, instead of those two cuties of Roxy’s! 🤣💕 Love their name reveal and honestly, if you said we’re naming them Burp & Fart, I would still love those sweet little bundle, no differently - Glad you didn’t name them Burp & Fart though, Chocolate Chip and Chip Ahoy is so much cuter and fitting, after losing Uncle Chip so recently. Thanks for always doing what’s needed in the best interest of all your babies, brand new ones or older ones and thanks for bringing us along for this special visit. ☺️💞
In the heat of the day could you put that gray fencing you had for Starla and Fin, in the garage with hay or straw down. To put momma and babies in, in front of the fan. That way momma and babies can stay together and can feed off momma more. ❤
Brooke & Jason just had the same problem with their goat mamma Fee Fee. Brooke has to get her on the milking stand with a bucket, express her milk & put it in the freezer & bottle feed all 3 babies. And she can feed all 3 at the same time. She do leave them in the barn with mamma & just come out to feed them when it's time.
Lester when you opened the vault 😆and took the blue Tshirt out I really thought I was going to pee my self because I was in Hysterics🤣🤣you are way too funny 😆
I remember. Good to have Jami always ready to step in and help mother the little ones, cause here we go again! You got Starla and Finn through it, and you’ll get these little guys through it too. You always do❤️❤️
If you guys still have those puppy fence panels you might consider making a pen inside the shop where it's cooler for both Roxie & the babies. Then you could put a fan on them too. You might want to put a cheap tarp under them for easy cleanup though. Then some straw or wood chips on top of that. You could then just drag it out to the burn pile for disposal in a few days. Just an idea if it's in time or for the future.
Hank was like…”EXCUUUUUSE ME, I was just about to use the facilities, Thank you very much!”😾 I love how Jami milks Roxy then gets right down in the dirt on her knees in a dress & starts feeding the babies🍼 And looks GORGEOUS doing it! How I *LOVE* her!🥰 Roxy has the most ginormous bag of all your Mama goats I think…Good Grief that must hurt dragging that thing around.😬…she’s practically stepping on her udders 😣
When our baby goats were weaned, I kept milking our nanny to give to my youngest son's friend, who was allergic to cow's milk. Any excess, I either froze it, made batches of pudding, or used it as coffee creamer. Do a taste test, Lester!
Those little babies are so cute. I feel bad for Roxy because I believe she really would like to raise her babies but she just hangs so low and that has to be so uncomfortable for her. We never have to worry because Lester and Jami will do what it takes to help them.
Maybe you should milk a much as you can from Roxy and refrigerate the milk to take the pressure of her utter. And maybe it'll shrink up enough that the babies can feed. Can't hurt to try. ❤
@longhornlesters oh you are very welcome! You have honored Mr.Chip beautifully!! And I'm sure she will just as sweet...and Rocky Road once those long legs are found watch out world! Heehee!
That milk looks super rich and delish. Beautiful babies. Jami's a professional feeder. You done fed them a zillion times.. Thankfully, you're there to save the day for the little ones ❤
lol you’re so funny Lester you gotta love you. I enjoy your videos thank you. Yes, you look hot. Sweet sweet babies, precious poor Roxy. She’s gotta be miserable with her bag that low.😮😢 is there anybody that has one of them electric milkers for goats? I think I know what I’m talking about. I don’t know just a suggestion. You guys are so awesome wow wow I feel for Jamie. That’s gotta be very stressful to try to get the baby to eat in that heat. Wow my heart goes out to you guys. I seen Jamie’s video. I’ve seen the delivery very interested I never seen it before. lol that is so sweet Stella at the door. Oh you got love her. She is so sweet. Leslie, you got a very good woman. Jamie is awesome and Jamie has got a good man. Lester is awesome. Wow wow
Awww that is an adorable name, chocolate chip and chip ahoy. To me it looks like Roxie is not bothered with you both taking the babies in the house to feed them. I think she is like oh God thank you mom my boobs are so darn full they hurt
I am thinking to myself that I wish Jami had that cooled stall in the garage she wanted so she could take Roxy and the babies in together. I think if you keep Roxy milked out fairly well it will be easier on the babies to latch cause it won't be so ridgid. I also like the idea of a small ramp to walk her on so the babies can get under easier. Just at least until they learn how to get on easier. Side note Roxy could keep a family of 5 in milk it seems. No need to buy cream with her around. Lol
Poor Roxy just is trying so hard to be a good mom. I know this is stressful but yall are doing a great job like always! Thanks for loving these babies! ❤
What about a milking station that Roxy could climb on to put her bag at a better level? Not all the time of course but when you're around. Just a thought.
Feel bad for Roxy that she cannot feed her babies. I am so glad that they have Jami as a surrogate mom. Stella would be an awesome mom. I do not think Jami needs her help but it is so incredible to watch how this street dog is so loving to the babies.
I am so glad you're taking care of the new babies during this heat. Whoever said you were torturing them is crazy in the head and that's just for starters. You're there up close and personal and know how to take care of them. The torturous viewer isn't there care for them and you are. You probably have more experiences than they do as well. Keep doing what you're doing to keep them alive and triving.
I laughed went I saw him remove his new shirt from the safe. Then again when he admired himself in blue. Lester, thank you, for being you. You brighten our day.
I love the names of these 2 precious baby goats! Perhaps take Roxy to a small area in the shop that has a fan nearby so both Jami and Roxy would be more comfortable while milking Roxy’s teats several times daily? I know this TX heat and humidity is being brutal right now! Praying for improved health for both Roxy and her babies.
I've seen people get confused with how to use they/them pronouns but it's the same as it has always been if you're unaware of the gender of someone in English anyway. just use the they them pronouns how you normally would 'I just saw THEM eat' or 'They got down on THEIR own' 'THEY won't eat' etc. The grammar remains the same, you're just using they them their instead of he or she... You must have done it in the past with folks you don't know the gender of, say if someone's coming for an appointment or meeting and you say 'I wonder what time they're coming' or I wonder where they'll park their car etc. Nothing changes grammatically. Same when you don't want to announce the gender of your babies. Normal English grammar rules apply as usual. I love these babies, their colouring is so pretty. Hope they both manage to stay with momma for the most part, but glad they have you both there to help Roxy feed them when needed and help cool them down. Love you all for all you do
This precious pair are simply adorable, Lester n Jami!.. I LUV the name Chocolate Chip for the dark one n I think Cookies n Cream is a cute name too!!.. CC n Cookie for short 💞💯👍
Amen Lester!! Don’t worry you won’t get cancelled in our house!! The babies are beautiful and you all always do a wonderful job for the babies!! Blessings from Rhode Island
Beautiful babies❤ and I love both of their names. And Lester, you let it slip so we now know there's a boy Chips Ahoy and a girl Chocolate Chip. can you extract as much milk as you can from Roxy and save it to feed them or freeze it for later? And Lester you are too funny with the blue shirt and the safe 😊
Poor Roxy.. ideal, maybe tye a ribbon around otter and back to hold it up some. Might feel better for little Roxy and then maybe the babies can eat better... prayers for all
Praying for these little angels Jami bless your heart worried about the babies and Roxie getting mastitis Praying for Roxie, babies you and Lester also hugs and love always
hahahaha seriously lester the adorable blue shirt in the safe LOL ... Jami IS SO Amazing How amazing those 2 little ones... "Not the daddy" .... GOD made BOYS, HE and GIRLS, she ... wonderful Names Roxie has such trust.. I know it's after the fact but should have put all that milk in several cups.. to get the first few feedings ... Y"ALL DID GREAT
Love the names, Lester have you thought of putting a bench in the shed? At least Jami and you can sit more comfortable during the supplement feedings. yes the goats will lay on it. but that is what they do. They won't mind sharing with you.
Hi Lester and Jami. I love the names you chose for the babies. Perfect names. Chips Ahoy and Chocolate Chip. They are big and so sweet. I already love them.❤. I really hope they learn to nurse from Roxy. She's the best mommy.
as someone else suggested - a car ramp! she definitely qualifies for one of those 'keep 'em up' bras! I know the kids aren't going to limbo dance to feed....! when they realise that Jami is bringing them the 'good milk', it'll make a change from having to seek out the 'dragged-through-the-dirt' floor nipples! 🤣🤣
