It’s so sweet to see you sitting down and her laying across your lap. Her little head laying on your arm, looking up at you like Mom can’t make it stop. It’s just so sweet. Shows what a good animal lover you are. You take such good care of them and they can feel it and they know you care
I agree. The relationship between this sweet goat and her mom, Crystal, is just touching. I cannot imagine how much effort Crystal has put into developing that connection with this beautiful creature.
I love how ALL of your babies come to you when things really start to get serious, they are like, help me, show me that you love me, make it ALL better, fix it, make it ALL go away! You can clearly see how much you love your babies and just how much they truly love and trust you, it really is a beautiful thing!! ❤
Love it! I have had 3 calls THIS WEEK to help pull kids. All with happy endings. But seriously…. It’s ALWAYS THE BUCKS acting out! They are always the ones blocking traffic!! Lol!
I was a labor and delivery nurse for years and ever mom behaved differently while in labor... just like your goats... some were moaners, some here whimpers, some suffered in silence and some were SCREAMERS! Like many of your viewers, I am exhausted after watching your ladies give birth from virtually helping! LOL!
I LOVE watching One Born Every Minute for that reason. Every labor and birth is different from the next. I would love to do that job, but I know it's exhausting. It's just precious seeing life being born into existence. I won't be able to have babies of my own due to chronic late-stage Lyme Disease (meaning nothing can ever cure the disease and it will just get worse) but I'm happily married with a precious 13-year-old toy poodle who is my baby in every sense of the word and I'm grateful. Life is precious. Every bit of it.
So cool. Thank you for all of the love and care you gave/give!!! I have 4 children, 3 boys and then my baby girl!! Each pregnancy was different for me, and I tried to be pleasant to the staff, because I know they are there to help and they want to. I had my 1st son at 16. I kept having false labor that would make it to every 3 minutes and stop either before I got out of the house or on the way to the hospital. All of my kids or my body actually did the same with all of them. My first, 3rd and 4th were induced as it was too far of a drive, except for my 1st one. He was induced because I didn't want Mom and Dad to have to pay extra and it was only 1 week early. It was crazy. I confused everyone by randomly answering an audio daily double on Jeopardy in the middle of contractions. Lol!! Mom hushed me and told me not to be rude for the following. I had 3 or 4 nurses come in to me what seemed like 5 minutes apart telling a new and different way to breathe to deal with the contractions to which I switched to each time, though all I had been doing was breathing and maybe moving/rocking back and forth to deal with the pain. well the 4th burse came in and gave me a new way to breathe to witch I said/asked "I wish ya'll would make up your minds, I mean, how in the hell do ya'll want me to breathe?" With my 2nd we went into labor naturally and he was my easiest delivery as far as pain levels go. There was two points where they asked or told me to do something but, in each moment, I physically could not do what they were asking. One was to curve and angle my hips upward and the other was to push again. I told them I can't and they all took it like I was tired and kind of giving up, so then they cheered me on and told me I could. I told them I couldn't because the back of the bed was up to high making it impossible to do. The other was to push but I couldn't because I gad used up all of my oxygen and needed to breathe in for a few moments, same cheering response so I explained give me a moment I need to breathe, so I took in several seep breathes and pushed him out!!! The other 2 were basically good uneventful experiences, well they were all good just 2 were eventful!! Lol!!!
I was one who suffered in silence,lol. Curled up delirious in the fetal position for hours due to induced labor and no dilation. Then the most wonderful nurse said the magic words, Would you like an epidural. I said, Yes, please! lol
I suffered in silence too, with my first. I did end up getting an epidural but it worked too well and I couldn't feel anything at all. So they said they reduced it down to almost nothing and the pain came back with a vengeance. It really felt like they just took me off of it completely. It felt like I was hit by a freight truck. I was throwing up from the pain and my entire body was trembling uncontrollably. I had been fully dilated for a long time, I don't remember how many hours but my baby never dropped. My baby's heart rate started going way up and way down and that scared me. So they told me to lay on my side and the baby's heart rate stabilized. I was done dealing, didn't want to put my baby in jeopardy and asked for a c section. The doctors hesitated at first but after a couple minutes agreed it was a good decision. The hospital had one regular non emergency surgery room that was in use and one emergency one that was also in use so I had to wait and that felt like forever but I was finally moved to the emergency one and everything went smoothly from there. I chose to avoid that whole labor thing with my last 2 babies and had planned c sections. All of the c sections were pleasant experiences, especially the last one. I had a blood antibody problem with the last baby so it really was best to deliver at 39 weeks than to wait for nature to decide and risk my antibodies crossing into the baby and attacking her. She did have mild jaundice from my antibodies and needed to stay in the NICU for a few days. It was incredibly hard to leave her there and go home without her. Now she's a happy, healthy 8 month old and says "mama" with full understanding of who she is calling. If my mom asks her "do you know where mama is?" my baby girl looks over at me and smiles in response. And instead of automatically crying she calls for me first. When I hear her call me I can't help but stop what I'm doing and hurry over to her. She's such a smart, sweet baby 😍❤️
Some of the crys coming out of Abilene sound human and are heart breaking but just like we women go through labor all of the pain immediately goes away once we have the baby. Good job Team Blue Cactus!
I feel the same. I hate seeing them in any pain or discomfort 😢. It’s such a relief once the baby is out. I find myself a nervous wreck watching these 😂
Boy, Crystal, my heart was in my throat and the tears started 😢. I raised goats 🐐 ♥ till 10 years ago when I had my heart attack. My husband and my kids sold my goats and the loss was terrible. Tonight it felt like I was right in there beside you. Those little boys are beautiful and mom is a trouper. I spent many hours in my goat pens and mine were loving like you were with yours. I subscribed and I am a fan all ready. Give them all a hug and kiss kiss for me and your kiddos too. Now I have to go watch more of them
Your goat sense is something that a lot of other goat owners should have. You’re great in knowing when to act. Congrats to you and Abilene. I admire you and your family. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh I felt her pain! Poor baby I really hope she alright. But it was so sweet to see how she cuddled up to you. You could really feel the love and trust. Good job both of you!
Luckily Abilene had someone like you to help her out ... it turned out good 👍... congrats to a job well done for you Crystal ... glad it turned out well ...
She couldn't have done it without you and I think she knew you would make it alright. That was a tough one. You are an inspiration to people with and without goats.
Poor girl! That was a tough labor and delivery!! So great that everything turned out well in the end! The babies are beautiful! Stay safe! Looking like 100,000 subscribers is getting close!!!! I cannot wait for you to get that silver plaque to display!!! We ❤🔵🌵🍶🐐s!!!
I was sitting on edge of my chair, boy did them boys give u a run for ur money, there so beautiful all ur kids and moma and dad r gorgeous, im hoping one day to own one of ur babies
Can we just not do this EVER AGAIN Abilene! We are all stressing over here and we are not even YOU OR CRYSTAL going thru it … it could have been bad, I’m so glad you figure things out 😖 I’m so happy to hear they are all ok. Thanks for sharing, it’s easy to learn from you because you explain the process as it is happening So thank you Lety
Phew, my heart was in my mouth thinking of all sorts of dire outcomes while watching this. Glad everything came out ok. I remember when Abilene and Lodi were little, Abilene has always been the sweet to Lodi's spicy. It was difficult to watch the indecision and worry on your face, Crystal. It's so obvious how much you love your girls.
I just want to thank you Crystal, Derrick and kids, for the incredible content you provide. Your videos have helped me tremendously with my Nigi heard. Being new to dairy goat management/husbandry, I cannot tell you how many different videos of yours I have referenced to help me learn. I am so thankful Abilene and the babies are okay. I am equally grateful that you guys managed to keep filming even when things got scary. Your knowledge is monumental and you are so kind to share it with the world. Thanks y'all 💞 from one goat lover to another 🐐
I totally agree. I have ten girls. Two I got with one baby daughter in tow and 6 appear to be pregnant now. I can’t wait for the first one though I hope they are all easy births. Watching Crystal help her girls and make those decisions help keep me from thinking I’m an idiot for thinking I could do this. Well I do think it briefly every day but I may be able to do this when the moment comes. Pray for me 😂
Oh Crystal, your does love you so much and still you for comfort. It's clear how much you love them and how well you know each of them. Nice job on the delivery, so glad it turned out well. I was feeling poor Abilene's pain. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to more babies!!
The goats and their babies are so darn beautiful I wouldn't have even thought the pressure and hard work that goes with having such beautiful goats was so incredibly hard on everyone taking care of them.
I have been worried about this one. So glad everything came out the way it did...no pun intended! lol 3 handsome bucks and one happy Abilene that it's all over and you were there to help her. Congratulations!!😊❤
My dogs reacted very strongly to hearing Abilene’s labor pains and cries. I had to cut the video and take them out to reset their empathy/sympathy responses to her discomfort. Animals. They’re the best!
Holy moly! You guys are gonna hit 100,000 subscribers soon! WOW congratulations. I’ll make sure to keep 👍the videos to help. Keep up the hard work you all. I love the videos, education and soap.
I am so glad you have the videos you do. The pamphlet I send home with ever one of my babies includes a suggestion the subscribe to your channel. I still after 3 years of having channel only have about 38 subscribers. Not good at all. You are very fortunate for your followers but you have worked hard and continue to work hard to keep, maintain and get new subscribers. Once again as always I thank you for all you do for the betterment of goat parenting.❤💕❤💖❤💞❤ Keep up the awesome work
Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 I absolutely love the relationships you have with all your goats. How gentle you speak to them when they're in laybor and delivering. Your truely amazing at keeping them calm. Every video i watch and follow along, i cant help but notice how clean their stalls always are! Ive been horrified to say the least of what i have seen 😢. Its great watching how you and your family are with "All" of your animals. Ive never raised animals, but i know from following your channel that its ALOT of work! Thank you so much for the videos you put out to let us all see how it all works. Crystal you sure work hard! But seeing the little ones born happy, healthy and huge! 😊
Beautiful boys. You should see LittleBits daughter, Missy. 1st freshener with an udder of a 3 year old. Bred with Everest boy, my adorable buck Elvis. Gorgeous polled babies. I can tell a huge difference from your operation and others from whom I've bought goats! Thanks, you guys, for making these videos. THANK YOU.
Watching Abaline struggle and lean in to you while she moaned and groaned, just how much she trusted you to be there, to comfort and support her, was absolutely beautiful, and it really brought tears to my eyes to see such a bond! You are an amazing owner/breeder/handler, but moreover an incredible woman! You truly are an inspiration! You are someone very special. Miss Abaline surely knows that too!! Congratulations on those 3 beautiful baby bucks! 💕💝🎈
Bloody heck I was crying from the first kid being born. Omg poor Abilene and Crystal I was so worried but all came out well! Great job staying calm and making the call to assist when you know something was not right. You both did amazing!! Abilene your triple boys did a number on you mama! Please give updates on how mama is doing. 🥲❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽👏🏾
OMG guys this was a rough go. Congratulations on those Bucklings. SO MUCH WORK for little Miss Abilene and yourself Crystal. Thank you for this. It gives me hope in these uncertain times. Love you all.❤️🥰👍🏼🌈
