I’m not even half way through yet, but I just wanna say that it says a lot about you as a person and a mother that your kids are so knowledgeable and helpful ❤. It’s so sweet that everyone pitches in and knows the routine. The silver lining to all the health issues the animals are dealing with is that you and the kids are learning first hand knowledge that you will never forget and will help you to save animals in the future.
I have Lyme disease (chronic) and as soon as I saw him in the last video I knew he had Lyme. It's completely debilitating when left untreated. I'm so glad he's getting treated!! ❤ I'm sorry about Peaches. 😢
I'm so glad your animals weren't being poisoned. I'm sorry it's been so stressful lately but your handling it better than most could. Please be easy on yourself. You're doing amazing at fighting for your homestead. Good job mommas
I’m praying for all your animals. You take really good care of them, bless your heart. Yes and you are a wonderful mother, your kids are such a good helpers. 🙏🏻❤️
Your bulls are absolutely beautiful I found your channel about a week ago I love your content Love how real you keep it and I am so sorry for your losses
So glad Maxie is ok 😊 we all know how much you love and care for your animals ❤ When you talk to them i would not be surprised if they answer you one day 😅 Great to see your channel growing 👍 🇦🇺🐨🦘
Gosh, I couldn't click fast enough. I have been so worried waiting for an update. I love Maxi so much, what a relief to see that he is ok. Your perseverance is admirable 💛 All your animals are lucky to have you 😊
Been waiting for this update since ur last video, glad to see max is doing better. Going to have to look up what that disease is, sorry about peaches. God bless you n the family.
People don't realize grain isn't even required, it's a concentrate ration. It's given in small amounts because of this. High quality forage (grass, plants, and dry matter ie hay) should be the primary food. Grains supplements forage to help maintain weight or growth when forage isn't top notch, or animals are being pushed by weather (winter), producing milk, pregnancy, breeding, or growing. The grain isn't relevant to body mass like you'd expect for dogs or cats.
BLOAT TIP: Maybe you could try giving the goats free-choice baking soda in a hanging feeder that's off the ground in a covered area, away from the elements. You can purchase baking soda in bulk 3-5 lb. bags. Mineral blocks? If ruminant animals don't have enough to forage or graze on their rumen(stomachs) will become empty and if that happens they will start producing excess gas which causes them to bloat.
Oh no , Lyme Disease is awful . I had a precious Jack Russel named Peanut . He got it twice during his 14 years of being my best buddy & pure joy . The 1st time he came down with it I freaked out . One morning he had gone from being a bouncy ball of energy to not being able to get out of his bed . I an so glad the Vet caught Maxey's so quickly ~ good for you acting so quickly !
Thank you for the update, I've been praying for all your animals. I'm sorry to hear about Peaches I know how much you loved her. SO glad that your animals aren't being poisoned. 🙏😄❤
I think You take very good care of your animals. People have no idea how time consuming it is to take care of a farm. They're being fed enough I mean You can tell Your animals are close to you.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your goat. Glad Max tho seems to be doing better. Hugs. Would your vet give you penicillin to keep on stock at home for just cautious wise?
Speak with your vet. You should be able to get a bottle of Thiamine from your vet to have on hand. It's much easier than trying to get an adequate amount of Thiamine in to the animal via vitamin B complex. Also speak with your vet about prescribing you penicillin. That is something every farmer needs to have on hand .
I’ve been checking your channel for an update since the last video, I’m really sorry to hear peaches has passed but happy Maxie is doing so much better!! Having a homestead with animals is a full time job, hats off to you you’re doing a wonderful job!! I absolutely love that you are teaching your children so much, I wish more parents would do so. I’ve watched all of your videos over the past week and not once have a seen you feed and think “that’s not enough feed” so ignore the hater’s!! God bless y’all and happy holidays 😊
Homesteading has a lot of heartache attached to it, just the way it works. We make mistakes and when we know better, we do better, but even when we do everything right, things are often out of our control. I've raised rare breed heritage chickens for 20 years and at times, there is as much guilt attached to it as there is raising children. Mine generally live to ripe old ages, the oldest so far going on 15 years old, but there are the issues you just don't expect and books do not tell you. I'm glad Maxie is getting better, sorry you lost the doe. ~Cynthia
Good morning 🌄 So sorry you've had such a rough time. All in a learning lesson. Some of the comments are ruthless and unwarranted. You've had a lot of experience with farm animals and LGDs. Before my husband passed he'd say 'Aint nothing EASY about living on a farm' oh so true. If these people don't APPROVE of your little farm life, they should go somewhere else.. EVERY farm show says the exact same thing to NEGATIVE VIEWERS. DON'T WATCH. I wonder where they think our food comes from? Your food is the healthiest when your harvest EVERYTHING yourself.. Meat most of all..Keep up the GREAT work. Enjoy your life. 🐷🐽🐮🐱🐕🐰🎄🎅
So sorry about Peaches. It’s always hard to lose a favorite. So glad Max is going to be okay. Not sure where you live, but we live in a tick area and vaccinate for it. I think they can still get it but not as severe. We also use monthly preventatives. Absolutely love how you are parenting your babies. More need raised this way!
Thank you for explaining what had happened. These are important things to know, even just dog owners need to know what lyme looks like as it becomes more common. You can get homeopathic lyme nosode drops to help with recurring symptoms. Animals usually respond well to homeopathy. Sorry about the duck. I was chasing a fox running off with one of my roosters at 1 in the morning this past week. It dropped him and I got him back safe. That's what happens when you feel sorry and let the dog in on a cold night. I made her a new coat, she'll be staying out now.
Lime disease is from ticks, correct?? Could peaches have had that too? You need to move on down here to South Carolina like Jess & Miah from Roots & Refuge Farm. Seldomly does it get real cold here and people pray for snow...NOT ME, I LIKE HEAT😊. The summers can be a beast if you can't take humidity though. You are doing great. Young homesteads take time.
Yes, we are looking into getting some more does since we just lost half of our herd. We sold dove because she kept getting out, lost 2 to CAE and now lost peaches. @@Just.As.I.Am-Karen
@@TheCrazyFarmWife Please review my comment posted. Another good book is “Bitten “. Please protect you and your loved ones from Lyme. It is devastating. Heidi Lehmann
So sorry about the loss of your doe. Over feeding/eating is a huge issue with goats, I agree its better to slightly under feed than over feed! We don't raise meat goats so I don't know how different their requirements are but when our does are not in milk we just feed a maintenance ration plus 24/7 hay of course and access to loose minerals. The eating of bark could be a copper deficiency or so I have heard. I get comments sometimes that are rude, people get very comfortable being jerks while behind a keyboard, they say things they wouldn't dare say otherwise. My opinion is I will always take into consideration honest suggestions, but rude and disrespectful comments get removed , if it continues the person gets banned. I'm glad the pup is on the mend and you found a vet that saw him quickly! Stay warm, I get chilled just watching your videos lol😁🤣.
Don't you use preventive collars for ticks ? They work 6 /8 months . If you don't you should check them all twice a day and pull ticks off . A wire fence will not stop bulls for long .. Cut down the trees with hazardes fruit or bark , make proper fences out of them . Trees you can't or don't want to cut down , make a chickenwire fence around so the bark can't be eaten . And polio can be preventend with yearly vaccinations . What do you do to prevent your animals getting sick ?
I lost my dog to Lyme disease, and it really sucks that your dog has, but I am glad that you caught it in time. I think that maybe your other dog may have had Lyme Disease as well but I also could be wrong as I am not a vet, but it's a possibility though since Lyme Disease is so high in your area. Sending LOTS of love, hugs, and prayers your way.
Im.sorry about Peaches. Thiamine is made in the rumen and if that is compromised, thiamine productions slows or stops and polio can happen. With her being bloated, most likely started there. Giving the b complex is good anytime they are not feeling well. ..again..very sorry you lost her. You did everything you could for her, you need to know that ❤
Can’t believe all you do being pregnant. When is baby due and how many children do you have and ages. You are so informed about the animal issues. Please be careful and don’t hurt yourself. Precious kids and helpful.
you have certainly had a rough spell. Nice to have cooperative vets nearby. You sure have to read labels; my TSC has an injectable B Complex but it does not contain B12. That is a seperate bottle that is given orally. Do you have loose minerals out for the goats? They can't get enough minerals from blocks
A lot of the problem is people think it’s better to over feed animals. People who are knowledgeable knows over feeding causes more health risks that an animal that is a tad under weight. With everything happening it kinda seemed like something weird was going on. But that’s just life on a farm. You’ve learned more in this time to be better equipped for the future.
Make sure that yall don't get lime disease. That's what happened to Shania Twain. It affected her vocal cords and had to have surgery. Her voice will never be the same. 😥 tragic
Do you have your dogs on Lyme prevention Our dog got it last year and now she’s get a yearly Lyme booster to help with flare ups we always keep doxycycline on hand for her to
How is Maxy i saw your other vid about Maxy pore dog and goat 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 no peaches 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤i loved her she is so cute how are your animals geting sick you lost a dog and a goat😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
If ever a channel was a poster child for NOT entering into homesteading, this one is it. You have endured a total storm of bad luck. I farm but not animals because of this very reason. I just won’t deal even with chickens. I have total respect for you and those of you who want to live like this but it is not for me and my kids. You are also a poster child for setting up veterinary care in your area well before ever getting your first farm animal. I get it that you have just the one vet who does not respond and who does not show up, but that would be the reason I would forego farm animals. Glad the dog is doing better and I am sorry you lost the goat. I love farming for our food but I would hate having to wake up to horrendous crises every single day the way y’all do. Your kids are so used to it that they know what you mean when you holler “Grab the B-12 and a syringe”; it’s a lot. A LOT.
Thank God you didn't lose Maxy. He really did improve fast! So sorry that you lost Peaches.

So sorry about all the troubles. But you do your best and that's all you can do. Doesn't make it any less heartbreaking though ❤
I LOVE how Maxy SMILES!! his eyes all squinty and that huge wag!!! He saying Hiiiiieee!! 😁😁
It looks like the right rear tire is low on air . Great job with the animals and your kids.
yeah I seen that also, we have to use the portable air tank and add air to our front tire on the tractor about every two to three days of use.
So glad Maxie is ok 😊 we all know how much you love and care for your animals ❤
When you talk to them i would not be surprised if they answer you one day 😅
Great to see your channel growing 👍

Put a clasp on the rabbits. We didn't, and a bobcat pushed the lid up and got the rabbits. Just a heads up. ❤❤
Looked like the tractor had a very flat tire. One of the big ones. ❤
You are so great with the animals
Good morning. I have been devastated since the last video. Hope all is well. I’m watching now.
It's very depressing watching your videos, girl. I know you love your animals, and you're doing the best you can. Keep your head up, sweetheart ❤
