Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!
Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

What do u do with goats u don't keep? Or are getting to old to breed
I wish you could do a book version or a book series for your course. I’d love to have the information somewhere in the physical world.
I would of kept Aspen
But I think Lola is gonna be amazing with lance
Yall should get some zebu mini cattle... those would be fun to have and milk.
This is awesome! I’ve been watching both you and Crystal for years now, and hope to (one day) get a few ladies of my own! Right now it’s just not in the cards for us, but when the time is right, between all I’ve learned on both of your channels, plus this course, I can feel I have a decent base to start! Thank you!
@@bellamay4038 she sells the ones she doesn’t keep? And the ones that are too old to breed would probably also be sold unless its Tilly, Luna, Willow although I won’t speak for her.
A bit bummed Zorro is gonna leave the farm, but I understand the need for room for little Lancelot. And at least he'll be going to a loving family and get to have some new girlfriends. I'm glad you're keeping Daphne's babies. And Lola is adorable and I can't wait to see how she grows. I don't know why, but Finnick's blank stare never fails to make me cackle.
I completely agree. I'm a bit sad to see Zorro leave as he seems to have a really good temperament for a breeding buck. But, it sounds like he'll still be doing good work in the future. And, I have to be honest. I think Lola is just the cutest. I love that bouncy grey ball of joy.
So if Daphne's kids breed with Lancelot, is Daphne going to repeat mate with Finnick? Or other plans? How exciting. Most people talk about Kardashians, love island, etc. Not me I'm for the goats!! 😂
I think people tend to forget you only have so much space. You're a smaller homestead, not one with acres and acres of land.
Yes we all get attached to these lovely goats, it's not like they're getting dumped or auctioned to the highest bidder. I'm sure they'll make great herd or pet goats for thier new homes because of all the love you've given them to make them more friendly!
I won’t lie Zorro is one of my favorites but am proud to see you making these tough choices to improve your herd that’s dedication
I think a lot of us were hoping for Aspen and Cedar!
But as long as they're going to great homes, that's what counts ❤️
Ya and she can't keep them all after all! Theres really no way she could take care of all of them.
Super excited that Lola gets to stay! Well so far. I want to see her crazy pattern as an adult!
Yes thrilled to see Lola is staying (at least for a year) as I really thought she was 100% on the sell list
I mostly wanted her to stay to see if she’s an improvement on Tatums udder but it helps she’s the most attractive to look at too 😂
I know I really want to see how her udder comes out lol. I thought they were going to keep her because of how they named her and all.
@@blacknoir8958 they named them all so that wasn’t anything to go by but I was surprised when it seemed like she wasn’t even on the list to keep as I thought they would want to see her udder
Turns out they do which is great
Don't think she will have a good udder
I al glad you are keeping Lola, but more because I want to see how her coat looks when she is older, she is so cute! I know cute isn't a factor in who you keep or not, but her colours are so pretty
IKR? Her coat is gorgeous, even if it doesn't count for comps, it is still aesthetically pleasing.
@R Garcia I don't think I'd be very good at breeding goats, because I'd want to keep them all
I'm so happy you kept the lovely moonspot covered doe and Shania has got to be the sweetest doe ever, can't wait to see the first freshners babies
I’ll admit I am a little sad that none of Hazel’s kids are being retained. But I’m excited for this new generation and chapter of goats to be brought up and see what the future holds. Stay awesome. ❤
It's nice that they old owner are taking Hazel back I bet the really happy about it! Not the I'm not sad to see her go.
They never like Hazel
@@lissettecordova3806 no true
@@lissettecordova3806 why the negative, unwanted, unnecessary comment? Of course they liked Hazel. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have kept her for so long, or be tempted by keeping a doeling from her. Which they were. They kept her because her original owners were finding a new place to live. And now that they have, Hazel gets to go back to her original owner. You clearly never watched this video. Because she stated why she wasn’t keeping a doeling from her. So keep the negative untrue comments to yourself. Not trying to pick a fight. But it is rude to comment (reply) a negative comment like that on someone else’s comment.
@@lissettecordova3806 They are not keeping Hazel because Hazel was never theirs. They just kept her with them because of her owners situation which now is solved. She doesn't have good genetics to be kept in the farm so it's a good thing she is going back to her previous owners. So it's not about them liking her or not. Even if u don't like a creature when u care for it even for a week u start loving them
man I was so surprised when you said you're keeping Lola but considering Tatum's build and genetics it makes a lot of sense! I hope she gets higher production from Finnick! She sure is spectacular.
Great Pics! I’m actually really happy the little girl gets her goat Hazel back! 🥰
I really appreciate your methodical and scientific approach your herd. Some may not like your choices for purely sentimental reasons, but this is a working farm, not a hobby. You treat your animals ethically, but sometimes hard decisions must be made. Good job.
If you're working towards breeding goats with better genetics, decisions have to be made. You can't let your heart rule your head and just keep every goat. That's how people end up with more animals than they can properly care for. I totally support your decisions and look forward to seeing what happens in the future. ❤
Omg I'm so happy I was hoping Lola would stay ❤
Me too, so happy they decided to raise her up
So happy you are keeping Wynona. Her deer like grace has shone out right from the start. It's going to be fascinating watching her and all the others growing up. Thank you for these videos they are so interesting and enjoyable.
Yes! her grace was apparent from birth!
I'm so glad we'll all be lucky enough to see Lola and Honey grow up! It's sad to see Aspen leaving, but as a watcher for several years I feel so assured with the knowledge that you will make sure all the babies and mamas find great homes.
I’m happy you kept Lola, not because of her color but because it’ll be cool to see if you completely corrected the Tilly line. Seeing as Tatum is much better body wise and Lola will carry that it would amazing if Lola in return had a good body and utter. 😁
Oh I’m so sad in a bittersweet way! Soft and sappy. They are so sweet, every single one! I’m so happy you’re going to send them to safe and kind farms.
I am so happy that Hazel is going back home to her original owners 😊😊
Congratulations DaNelle! Your new goat guide is a *HUGE* accomplishment!
Almost 14 years since you bought two goats for the very first time such a special moment❤
I wonder how many babies the next mama does will give, then there will be MORE choices to make on that batch of kiddos 😂❤
Oh my gosh! So excited to see some new bloodlines in the herd!! I LOVE the choice of babies you decided to keep! I will miss seeing the other goats though..
Cedar is probably my favorite colour of all the goats you’ve had. Hopefully we can see grown up pics of some of the kids later on!
I thought so too! Here's to hoping we get to photos of her when she's older 🤞
She never works on her lines she always keep rehoming her own breed and adding new goats and she does not even keep does out of her bucks she bring it’s her 4th buck and she sells the does of previous bucks its all too repetitive
@@alamodebranche She literally kept does out of all three of her bucks. As for rehoming/discontinuing her original lines, she would've been irresponsible not to. The Tilly line has low production, Penny's line had the leg issues, Luna is retired, Hazel was never meant to be theirs, and Doris was too aggressive to keep. Napoleon died, no fault of hers, and Zorro isn't improving her genetics like she hoped. All of these things are out of her control. The juniors are looking very promising but even if they don't stay, she's done a fantastic effort trying to improve on her original does. It's only this year she finally decided to make big changes.
Congratulations on your new course. As someone who has organized a new course, I know how labor intensive it is. Hopefully your work pays off.
I’m so Harry your giving Lola a chance, I show horses and I know the number one rule is colour doesn’t affect placing but my goodness she catches your eye 😍
When I started following you guys, you were just backyard milkers but now you are transitioning to be an actual farm and improving their DNA and genetics. You are doing an amazing job with these goats ❤
You guys are amazing, i’ve been watching for years. Probably since you brought tilly home. The improvement and progression you all have made is incredible!!❤
I’m so excited that you’re keeping Lola for now. I wonder what she looks like when she gets shaved. I think she’s absolutely gorgeous. One of my favorites.
Congrats on your online course! Your committment to your herd is admirable and your enthusiasm is contagious! Plus, you have the cutest baby goats!
I’m sad to see Tatum go but very understandable. I can’t wait to see how these babies do💖💖
I'm really glad she kept her kid!
@@blacknoir8958 same! Lola is really cute
Same. Tatum was the first and last baby goat of theirs that I saw being born on livestream. So I am a bit sad to see her go.
Oooooh! I can't wait to see which new doeling you've got in mind! Little Lancelot is a cutie. You made all the choices I would have made, which makes me feel justified in them 😂Including which does leave. Though- admittedly, the thought of Prim or Reba leaving does make me kind of sad!! Especially the redheads, with Napoleon being gone now, but Prim reminds me so much of May 😍Aaaa. The sadness of only being able to keep so many!
That’s the problem with raising any herd animal if you breed your animals… which is required for milk production…you simply cannot keep every baby born.😕
That fact is actually why many farmers try really hard to not form attachments to any of their livestock. But the farmers I admire most & the type I follow on UA-cam/TikTok are those who form bonds with & treat *all* of their animals equally…even those knowingly being raised for meat. As such farmers make sure all their animals have the best quality of life & are as happy as possible.❤ Adler Farms is another creator I watch who despite being relatively new to farming do their best to ensure all their animals are happy including the beef cattle they raise. And their trouble making goat Bruce is hilarious. They’re just fixing to start building their house so they can be on the 20 acre farm full time.
Well thought out and a beautiful herd Will miss Zorro but excited about the new guys. Hopefully Newt’s new family will share pictures.
The whole lancelot series has a special place in my heart. I am excited for him!
I have loved Lola from the start!! How beautiful will her and Lancelot's kids be! Her Moon spots are just 🥰. I'm also glad you kept Miss Honey! I think they will also be a great pairing!
Excited about the new bloodlines. Lancelot sounds like, if he throws well, an amazing edition to your herd!
You have two businesses (that I know of), the goat herd and youtube. And now you are branching out to another (although related) business! I am very impressed with your drive. Congratulations and good work!
Your little farm has grown so much and is doing so well!
All of the babies have gorgeous colors ❤️
I’m glad you kept Lola! I know she wasn’t one of your top choices considering she’s coming from the Tilly/Tatum line and many of us love her for color. Although, I love her color and moon spots just as much as anyone else, I’m excited to see how her conformation has improved from Tatum’s. Just from seeing the differences between Tilly and Tatum, I’m hopeful that Lola will make for a better breeding doe. 💕
I call you the "Goat Whisperer" I have learned a lot from you. I live in a Apt. So I can't have goats. You really like yout animals and take good care of them. You know what is best for your goats.
I’ve been watching since you did a chicken butchering video an only had like 2 goats. You have ALWAYS done so well for your animals and should be so proud of the wonderful things you have taught to so many.
Very excited that you are keeping Lola. Such beautiful flashy markings! Hope she and the other doelings prove themselves in the coming year.
Im so happy your going to raise up Shaina as that was one of the names i picked for her. So its going to be cool to watch her grow up.
I love your new buckling!
I’m really excited to see how all these babies will develop!
I am going to miss zorro a lot😢
I would have loved to see aspen stay but you guys know what your doing so looking forward to seeing the others grow up !
I hope we'll see occasional updates on Hazel. She's become my favorite goat on the farm, and she and her babies are beautiful. :) So happy that she will get to go back to her original family, they must be so excited! :)
I'm really glad you are keeping Lola and Shania they are two of my favorites! I did wonder why tucker couldn't go to a different farm as a breeding buck though.
What I explained in the video would happen on another farm as well 🥰 There are so many incredible bucks born each year, as breeders we only retain the absolute best because it’s such an investment to raise one up
I'm so excited for the juniors to give birth! And Lola is so pretty with all those moon spots so I can't wait to see how she grows
Im So happy for you Danielle!
You’ve learn so much and you teach us so much about breeding! There’s things I never even new !! And the way your displays are and how you’re able to explain thing is what keeps me watching! Love your family and all the hard work you guys do to keep us entertain ❤ been watching you guys for about 5 years now and this is definitely my favorite channel on k UA-cam 🥰
It's so amazing to see the crazy amount of growth you guys have experienced in the time I've been watching you. I was here before Willow was born, and you have just amazed me with how you have adapted and made your herd the best that it can be over the years. Congratulations on your course DaNelle, I think it will do wonderfully.
So exciting😊 congrats on the course , I'm sure it will be wonderful.
I hope you made great choices also I hope the ones you won’t keep go to a amazing home! ( When I see a notification that they posted clicks in .000001 second)
Aghhh not gonna lie, teeny weeny bit sad that Aspen isn’t staying 😂 But love your decisions and am so excited to see what the next couple of years brings to your herd!
SOOOO stoked to hear about the course and will absolutely be jumping on that! I’m going on 5 years into my dairy goat journey and I blame you for all of it. Mostly joking. I found your channel when I ended up with 2 milking does and had no idea what I was doing. I have learned so much from you (and other goat mentors I’ve found along the way) and am starting my process into milk testing, improving my genetics and building up my little herd. So I’ve been SO grateful that you’ve been so transparent and open in sharing your decisions for your herd - it’s been helping me so much with mine too, alllllll the way over here in Aussieland. 🎉 Congrats on launching - so amazing to see all your hard work paying off!!!
I don't know much about goats but you have given me a lot of knowledge about them. I think your doing a great job on your goats. Your learning and experiences have made you a great goats owner in many ways. I think your on the money. 👍🥰🇨🇦
All of the baby goats this year have gorgeous, flashy colors!! I love them all!
Good for you! Such knowledgeable decision making, probably hard to see such cute goats leave, but you have limited room and time. Love your channel! One of my faves.
Aspen and Cedar look so amazing.
I’m in love with how they look, so I’m a bit bummed.
But that’s okay.
You still have an amazing new herd of goats and I’m excited to watch them grow and I’m sure you are way more excited about it! :D thanks for sharing with us!
And love Lola’s coloring!
It’s always sad to see goats go, but I can totally understand and get your reasonings. You’ve got a lovely bunch of doelings there. I feel proud as a viewer to see you guys be responsible and watch your heard grow in the right way. I wish we could fast forward 10 years to see where your genetics have headed🤣 well done on the first round of kiddings. Looking forward to the next 💚
im happy that you keep both the daphne's babies...😊😊😊
Yayy ❤ I’m so excited we get to see these guys grow up, pretty Lola too
Lola was my favorite for advanced udderr and confirmation... Yay
So glad to see your online course! As a new goat owner, 18 years ago, I would have so much appreciated a common sense goat raising guide. Fortunately I did have some great mentors back then that helped my goat journey be happy and fulfilling. 🙂
I love the fact you’re doing this for the herd without attachments holding you back
While I am sad that you guys aren't keeping Aspen, I completely understand! I can't wait to see what the new doeling looks like, and how the babies improve the herd!
I am so overwelmed with how far you guys have come, honestly, I've always wanted to visit you guys just to know how all of the goats are and how everything goes there. I'm so happy to see changes, but with change also comes goodbyes, which does make me sad because I don't deal with change very good, but this is not about me. I'm exited to see where this adventure will take you guys and of course no goat can live forever, but I know they had a good life if they spent it on your farm❤🎉
I am so happy you are keeping Lola! She is my favorite!!!!!
aww, I'll miss shy tatum and sweet zorro! I'm confident you've chosen amazing farms for all of them.
I find it amusing that for several years though, you were addicted to raising up Tilly's doelings, and now you seem to be unable to let go of any of Daphne's xD how tastes change over time, lol
So glad Lola and honey get too stay at least for now. I'm excited to see the babies from the red girls & will miss seeing zorro sweetly sing to the ladies but he's off to spread the love elsewhere.
Yay yay yay!! I'm so happy you're keeping Lola! I think she's the prettiest doe I've ever seen. Her and Lancelot will make some beautiful babies! He will no doubt make beautiful babies with any of the girls he will be bred with but I'll look forward to seeing if Lola makes the cut to be a definite keeper.
There's just something about the Tilly line. Looking forward to seeing these doelings grow.
Wow! Lancelot sounds like he has the potential to be amazing!
I'm so glad you're keeping Lola and Honey!!! I'm sure these cuts can be difficult but like you said, they're necessary. Best wishes on your course! That's amazing! I'm sure an awful lot of time and work went into it! 💜💜
I love tuckers heart spot around the tail
I have to say I’m very excited! I agree I probably would’ve kept One of Hazels baby’s I happy!
Really sad to see some of the pretty goats go, but I get why you're making the choices you are making. Bit sad zorro didn't make the cut.
Lola is growing so pretty!
Sooooo glad y’all are keeping Lola!!
Lola has really unique colour combinations.... Good choice to keep her in the farm.... ❤
Im so happy that miss honey got to stay at least for now 😍 gonna mis seeing the other babies❤ I really admire your way of thinking, you guys are doing an amazing job
Zorro is the sweetest boy 🥺 such a nice little gentleman.
This is so cute and kinda sad that your getting rid of some😊❤
The colors from those babies are just awesome and lovely! I know that does not mean great genetics, but in a way my heart hopes it does ❤😂
All those babies are so pretty..I'm looking forward to Lancelot breeding the new doelings. I'm sure your going to the goat shows coming up. I know your friends Crystal and Derrick are going.
I totally agree and respect your plan DaNelle! I can see the vision for what you’re trying to achieve and I truly believe in less than 5 years you’ll succeed it 😇☺️ I’m here since day 1 and I know how much you care and love your herd! If someone take some time to see and read everything you’re doing for goats, can understand it 😇 keep doing what you’re passionate about and have imagined 🤩💪🏼. Xoxo, Marios from Greece 🇬🇷
Luna is going to stay forever because she’s the best..💜😊🐐
Congratulations on your online course offering!!
Lola's coloring is absolutely stunning, I'm glad to hear that she's staying with you.
So excited to see the new bloodlines, I'll miss seeing Tatum and the other babies, but I love the choices on the kidds you're deciding to keep! Lola has always been my favorite. But in all seriousness, I love what your doing and how you're improving your herd! ❤
SO EXCITED about your course!! You’re absolutely my favorite ND goat teacher. 💕👏👏
So many factors .. so much investment in time and money! Best of luck guys! Love the videos! God Bless!
i really like your decisions, i love lola a lot i’m glad we get to see her grow out and i’m super excited about lancelot
Good for you, Miss D!!!! Goatwoman writes a goat book. I hope it sells very well. Your whole family is very resourceful too. Well, l am so glad you are having so much success. Happy Spring 🐣!!!! 🌞🤪😇💙😜🌹🍀🍄💜🌞🤪😇💙😜🌹🍀🍄💜🌞🤪😇💙😜🌹🍀🍄💜🌞🤪😇💙😜🌹🍀🍄💜🌞🤪😇💙😜🌹🍀🍄💜🌞🤪😇💙😜🌹🍀🍄💜🌞🤪😇💙😜🌹🍀🍄💜🌞🤪😇💙😜🌹🍀🍄💜🌞🤪😇💙😜🌹🍀🍄💜🙋♀️
I think you guys are making great choices! This kind of thing is hard I'm having to do the same thing sell, buy, breed, and make hard choices! You guys are the best!
Online course? How exciting! Fabulous way to share your knowledge. Way to go! Such a great idea. Hope it is a wild success. Best wishes from northern Illinois.
Awesome job on creating your course!!! How cool!!
Can’t wait to see the new addition! I would have done the same besides Honey I would have kept Cedar instead. I can’t wait to see the future of your herd!
I was planning to tell you even before your announcement that I have learned so much from your website! I think you are making great choices and anyone getting your goats is going to be so thrilled to have them. I am starting over with goats this year and I really want to take it to the next level. I really appreciate your videos and all of the great articles on your website. Can't Wait to check out your course! Thanks!!
