WARNING GRAPHIC! Mays Full Labor 

I heard the dog whining in the background before you realized something was wrong. I think the dog could tell May was in trouble. Smart dog. Good to have around everytime one goes in labor to see if it does it again.

Crystal you are a freaking rock star. Your husband did such an excellent job of being supportive and calming. Y’all seem like a really great team. I’m just in awe. Beautifully done. 💕

I'm touched watching your help goat laboring.^^ You are a goat angel^_____^

She has the sweetest face….good luck momma🐏🤙❤️

In this video it shows the love you have for your goats God bless

Well done girl ur so great at delivering babies if it wasn't for you where would the mother an babies be great job keep it up

You’re so sweet with all your babies big and small. Love your videos

Just discovered this vlogsite this morning. One word, awesome! Well done, from the UK!

It's so heart warming to see that (although you're in a vulnerable and emotional state for all to see) we can see how very much you care about all your goats and that these animals are so blessed to have you be there for them and raise them to be well-balanced and healthy goats into adulthood from kidhood. :)

I always have to help them push. I'm always tired after each birth. I Love all the birthing. I'm so glad they share each of them. Sorry we missed Miss Lodi birth.

Hi Crystal n family oh my can't wait love watching yellow. Kathy from winter garden, Florida xo

I love the care u give the mamas an babied helping them clear their breathing an drying them off u are amazing

I have to thank you for your videos. Last night one of our goats had triplets. Of course right in the middle of the cold and two were in very bad shape. We brought them inside to warm up and stimulated like you showed. This morning all three are doing good with full warm tummies. Thanks again.....

Your voice was so calm, Derrick. A definite help in time of need to Crystal and May. Deep breaths and a few tears after that adrenaline floods your system

Oh bless you. You do so well made me cry. You’ve had a hard time of it this year. Feel for for losses you e had must be so hard. Mays done so well with such a hard labour xx

This scared the (poop) out of me (the word is probably the the same as me if not another four letter word). I dropped more tears 😭 seeing this and hearing the words “cut”. You all endured a lot with this princess May. I can definitely see why she adores you at kidding time comes around. I said it the last video, I will say it again, you are AMAZING!! Derek, Daren, Emily!! You all are awesome too support her emotionally and mentally during this hard labor. Mayo’s little sister Maile (maybe as a name) have the same dire situation but are here to rule the dairy goat farm!! She is a keeper cause she definitely looks like mom, if you choose to. Great job you all!! Praying the rest of the kidding goes smoothly. ❤️🙏🏽🤗

Those babies are so adorable

You can see the love for the goats in your entire body. That’s so precious.

Aww Crystal! so, so sorry that happened.. You did a great job though! Thank you for this and recording the assistance so that way me and many others that have goats will know what to do in these situations. You are a strong person and great goat mama! Those goats are so lucky to have you under their care! :)

Love all your videos Crystal. You're a true fighter just like may today. I would love to visit your farm.

I had nubian/lamancha when I first got goats. One of my does went into labor while I wasn't there. When I finally got her up to the barn where I could see all I could feel was a huge mass. We pulled and we worked so hard on her before we finally went to get her a csection. The kid had hydrocephalus and his head was just way too big to push out. When they went to wake up the doe she died on the table. It was the worst night of my life. I understand the stress and the horror you felt. I'm so happy she made it out and everyone is ok. Your husband is a good coach!

It's great to see how much Love u have for your animals,so happy u saved may and baby. Like I said before u are a great person and great at what u do with the goats giving birth. God bless u and the animals🙏🙏❤️❤️

You never really know how scary pulling babies is until you have to do it yourself. I’ve only ever had to pull one kid and I hope I never have to again! I cried like a baby after, so I understand your emotion. Thank you for being so transparent with your viewers and allowing us to see the side of farming that most others don’t get to. Great job, Crystal!

Breathless watching ..but thank God🥰

I'm right here crying with you on that one. I'm over here talking to my phone like you could hear me lol OMG 😃 you both did an amazing job girl! That was the right call big hugs 🤗😅❤️

May: pushing and pushing Me: holding my breath and pushing with her How many of you out there were doing the same??

Hey crystal, I am a big fan and I love your videos. And I love the way you tell us about each goat.

Nobody can ever watch these videos I doubt that you care for your animals. You are amazing and don’t let anybody tell you different you’re in their wrist deep inside of me all of them babies out and looking beautiful while you do it.

You and Derek made a TEAM awesome Derek makes Your make voice calm everyone watching and crystal

Crystal, you’re as tough as they come. 💪

I've also assisted in a complicated goat birth, it's kind of a long story and had a happy/sad ending. (Thank you @BlueCactusDairyGoats if you read the whole thing! You're amazing!) 🙏🏻💛 This all happened when I was about 14-15 almost 10 years ago. (Wow!) My overall knowledge about goat births was little to nothing, but I felt that I went off of instinct and the outcome was probably better off since I was there in the first place. We were watching our neighbors' goats while they were out of town and they had left us with basic food and water instructions, along with telling us that their two goats would give birth any day while they were gone! It was exiting and I didn't really expect anything to go wrong, but of course you just never know with any birth process if everything will be perfect. Our neighbors had left on their vacation, and a few days into watching them, I arrived one morning to feed them when there was a new baby! One of the two mother goats had given birth in the night all on her own and the little buckling wad happy and healthy, dry and standing up! The mother seemed to be doing just fine, but I knew that there had to be another baby coming since I knew that it was most common for goats to have two babies at a time. But after a while, I noticed that she was uncomfortable and in pain, screaming and crying. I can't remember if she was pushing or if she was just in pain. After a few hours (not knowing much of anything about goat births and acting purely off of instinct and my gut feelings about the situation we were in) I eased her gently but firmly to the ground since she kept running away from me (understandably, I'm not her usual care-taker) and I was the first to go in and I immediately knew something was wrong. The baby was slimey inside and I didn't feel any hair, hooves or life/movement from the kid. All I felt was a slimey body, like where the ribs and tummy was. Looking back at that moment, I'm surprised the baby was all in one piece. You'll see what I mean... I couldn't grab the baby and get it out since my arm was probably too short or something, so one of my mom's friends (who also didn't know much about goat births) went in after me and retrieved a stillborn baby. It wasn't even full term, it was really sad (and gross, I don't know how the mother kept two babies in there like that, one baby just fine and healthy with a deceased and decaying sibling, yikes) Maybe you have experienced something like this before? Let me know if you know what we were dealing with and if we did everything correctly. I named the surviving baby Joseph (from the Bible "Joseph the miracle child" with the coat of many colors) and the deceased baby Annabelle (assuming it was a girl since we didn't know the gender. I named it to honor it and then we burried her). After analyzing the whole situation, I made an uneducated but logical guess that the stillborn somehow stopped receiving nutrients from the mother perhaps from the umbilical cord becoming detached from the baby about half way through the pregnancy (the stillborn was at least half the size of the surviving kid, maybe even smaller) This all really happened, I can't make any of this up! It was a big learning lesson for me as one who dreams to have her own herd someday. I feel as though if I could do something like that at the age of 14/15 and saved a mother and kid's life without any prior training or knowledge, that I can do it with many more in the future but first to learn all the goat shepherd ways before I have my own herd someday! I really would love to have my own goats someday! Funny that my name happens to be Heidi, haha. If I lived closer I would have definitely asked to see if you could teach me all the goat-raising ways and have you mentor me before having my own herd someday! I live in Mesa, AZ right now and we definitely don't have the means or the land to have goats at the moment, but someday we will! :) I would feel so privileged and blessed to meet you and your family someday! (Yes, goats especially included! Haha)

So thankful they are all ok!!!!!!

Another night and you and those darn goats drew tears from me! Mayo is the best!!! I'm so happy I'm watching these after the fact just because I can know Mayo and the others are ok later. It takes a special kind of strength to live birth an animal! Congrats on all your Shamozes (sp?) this year! They are gorgeous!

Great job Crystal. Been there too many times myself with good, bad and horrible endings. That is why every time one of my goats goes into labor my stomach gets so messed up.

Awe that was awe some. I didn't do the work but I'm exhausted. I felt every emotion your and May's. PHEW im going to sleep im tired. So happy everything turned out good. Sweet Dreams

I've seen this video 3 times(rewatching them to prepare for my goats kidding) and every time I weep like a baby.

Hi Crystal! I just want to say how Beautiful your goats are but you are such a wonderful woman and I love watching all your videos and seeing your family and how they are there I love watching and I myself love goats and help my brother inlaw all tje time with his goats and kidding. I just want to say I'm so happy you are on here and have these wonderful videos

Let those tears flow sweetheart. You did amazing.

You're so right! Some goats take longer than others. I'm a really old goat. 60! If I had a baby I would want you by my side.

The love you have for your goats is wonderful ! I almost cried with you ! good job everyone...

You did it momma! Crystal you can tell those goats are as much your babies as your babies are. It's a scary time in labor when one gets stuck both human and fur baby. You got both of yall through it beautifully!!!!!!!

These babies are beautiful. I was feeling every contraction..lol.. seriously, it was stressful just watching it

I am just sobbing. Good work!!

Poor baby she is working so hard to have her kids

Crystal, truly amazing to say the least. You were the reason the babies were born and that May is with you. I have had to deliver foals before and you just do what is needed but afterwards your emotions kick in. If I ever needed to deliver another foal or goat, I would want you with me! I don't own any goats but I watch what you do and am so impressed. I love derricks road trips too. All the best, you are my hero! Janet

I had to have a 🍺 after that one. Good job May. Derek and Crystal, you two are absolutely incredible. GOALS

You did amazing job ❤❤

You did GOOD! Excellent save and beautiful kids!

That was a rough one for you Crystal. You did good as it’s so immotional, but you did it!

Your so Loving to share your stories and your love of these beautiful animals. God has given you a wonderful gift of love. Thank you for sharing your love and family.

She's such a BEAUTIFUL color!

You are good with her. One of my does had a similar problem with her second baby, but we were unable to get the little doe out in time so she died but honey had a little buckling first. The other two does had no problems with their labors and had twins both of them . Honey and her little man are doing great now

So happy that it ended well!!

The babies are lovely, the doe delivery was epic scary, when you started to cry, I felt your joy and your fear relief,

As a breeder of cavalier King Charles and havanese for many many many years . Retired now, I love watching the similarities and the stress. It’s heart warming to know how much you love your babies. It’s how I was , had to be completely involved and became horribly emotional when it came to dilemmas. Through the years , saved many babies because I was there and the animals know it. That’s the magic. I’m hooked and would love to see the new babies in a couple months before they go to their new homes. Thanks for the videos.

It just warms my heart how much you love and care so well for you goats. If I was anywhere close to you I would love to volunteer at your dairy, just to learn from you, you know so much. Thank you for the in-depth videos, that show everything. One day I am going to get some goats from you, with your guidance, of course. They will be life-long goats, so I have to wait until I have the right place. My Aussies can't wait, either, they love goats. A friend has goats, and the dogs and goats love on each other the entire time we are there. I've also watched several of these, and I love the conversation you have with us while we are waiting on babies. It's educational and fun!!!!---Gerri

So glad it turned out ok. My girl Phoenix (who looks just like May, and the triplets look just like her twins lol) had the same issue with her triplets. 1st buck came breach with one leg back and took us 30 min. To pull. 2nd a doe flew out right after then the 3rd a doe came head back. I cried so hard that night. Then shortly after birth the little buck was so weak from his delivery when I got up to get her some water she layed on his front leg and he was to weak to move so now he has perminant nerve damage to his leg. He does get around quite well though. Thank you for sharing the good and the bad times it has helped me when I have needed it. And great job to the Mr. For being a great coach through it.

You did great! I love how you love your goats. I love your videos and you have an awesome family as well.

I felt like I was right there.. Great job May!!! I'm so proud of you guys the way you care and love each and every goat in your herd.

TO ME IT'S EXCITING LEARNING ABOUT GOATS I REMEMBER WHEN ONE.OF MY NEIGHBORS HAD ALOT GOATS SO ONE.OF MY DAUGHTER'S WAS 6MOS.OLD HE GAVE ME GOAT MILK SO AS SHE WAS GROWING UP SHE HARDLY GOT SICK THEY ALWAYS SAID GOATS WAS GOOD

You folks are a great family. Everyone is willing to give when necessary. Nice job everyone!

The wave of emotions that crossed Crystal's face when the video started back (from the cut) said it all..WOW!! Excuse my language.. but Crystal, you are one helluva woman, I have nothing but admiration for you. (I know this video is over a year old but it brought me to tears and I had to comment!!) Awesome family.. Awesome farm.. Awesome freakin channel!! 👍✌❣🐐

You and your family are living the life... BUT i bet it is A LOT of hard work too.. well done guys :)

My Nigerian Dwarf Goat, Jupiter, first freshening, had QUADS today...so sad to lose 2 of them! The 2 doelings that survived are soooo stinken' cute! Farrah, second freshening, should have hers soon, too, hopefully we don't lose any of hers!

Great job!You made me cry!You obviously love your goats!!

I feel the pain of stress when they push and push and no baby comes... I was getting so nervous for y’all!!! You’re so lucky the little baby is alive.. brought me to tears just watching you holding that little darling baby.

I still can’t believe you got two little twining mini mays. One of each. How perfect.

That was scary for you all, glad all is well. Beautiful babies and good Momma.

It's great to see so much love and care

JOB WELL DONE!!!!!! I know the feeling when a baby is born. I am an R.N. and each time a baby was born, I shed some tears. It is all so amazing, the conception, growth and then labor and delivery. It is always great when the end results are okay and everybody is doing good.

My worst nightmare! But so glad you shared because it’s a great learning example of how if you have to! Great job to all of you! And good luck on the other mommas

Awwww. You really had your heart and soul and body in this. God bless you and congratulations. You are such a great obstetrician!

Love seeing how great of a team you & Derrick are. You done an amazing job, Crystal! I love the transparency of this family! You all are Rockstars! ❤

Been waitin for this one😁 Take care everyone. Stay safe & Healthy!💕🌸

Good job may! And good job to all of y'all too. You were both so strong. She ended up with some super beautiful babies.

If you have never been through helping a goat deliver a kid, you have no idea what tear fear, and joy you feel when it’s over, and it all comes out as a blessing. Many blessings to you both great great job.

And once again, you provide very valuable information for us newbies to goats. Much appreciated, great job, great teamwork, and I am so happy May and babies are well.

Poor baby. And Crystal you are the hero saving that baby. I'm just watching and I'm crying just watching. That baby is beautiful . Waiting for the next baby to arrive.

For the second time I cried with you Crystal. Good job and great coaching from Derek.

The raw emotion you tried so hard to show, showed us viewers how very much you care for your goats! I cried with you (reminded me of a couple emotional times with helping my furbabies!). Much respect going your way! I’d love to be able to meet you in person!!

Wow Crystal, I just Love how you are there for her during this critical time. Derick and the children also. Y'all are just Amazing!!!

You two did amazing work for your momma and the baby girl, great job! I was shaking with you. Whew!

When things got tough I kept thinking about how you said May wanted you by her side! She was right. You saved her and her beautiful baby. When they were both finally safe... many of us watching had tears of relief in our eyes too. (Isn't the Internet wonderful? It was like I was right there with you.) I can't express my gratitude to you.

Wow..the male was a piece of cake compared to the doe.. Great job guys! Good job May
