- Our big goat show of the season is here and we're ready for the chaos!
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. 🥰

It’s so interesting how much the judges varied. Seems like they should follow more of a guideline
Yeah, one judges put you in second and the next puts you in eight. It's so strange
There is a standard but it's how the person interrupts it.
well from my experience (cows & pigs) there is usually a conformation that everyone strives for but when in the show ring the judge usually chooses off of personal preference.
That's the same thing that happens in a lot of animal shows, like dog shows and such. Most just judge off of a feeling or what looks pleasing to them, not necessarily a specific standard. That's why your overall presentation and what you're wearing matters, because it's an aesthetic thing.
There is and it’s how the judge interrupts the guidelines
Been here since Willows birth I am so proud how far this channel has gone!
Omggg same!
Same here!! ^__^
I love seeing the progress. So proud of everyone.
Been here since willow club ^^^
Yay, Reba and River got first place🥇,and I hope you guys have a good weekend.😄
You should get does from Crystal. Reba looked great.
Lol the goats were great but the best part on this video was Ethan and Lydia trying to find the best light 😂
You and crystal becoming friends will forever be the best thing to happen. I was watching both channels separately until you guys revealed you were in contact. Such a wholesome friendship for goats !
Fun seeing you and Crystal together! She seems to be a wonderful mentor!
I love watching the two siblings tease each other and laugh together ❤ Ethan and Lydia are delightful young people!
Though they were dating cause she called him baby
Happy Birthday Ethan! And congratulations Lydia!! Fantastic!
**WHAT?** 🎓How is Lydia graduating already??🍾🎉CONGRATS!! And..🎈🎉🎂🎁 HAPPY BIRTHDAY ETHAN!!🎁❤️🎂🎉🎈
Congratulations to Lydia and Happy Birthday Ethan 🎉🎂🎉🎉🎓🎓💐
This message is for Ethan and Lydia! It's been my favorite quote for years and it's important to remember. "Not everyone can be in the parade. Someone has to sit on the curb and clap as the parade marches by."
Seems like just yesterday when a little Lydia was showing us around the farm and now she's all grown up. 😊😢 I think it's ok to smile and cry at the same time.
Love seeing you and Chrystal together. My two favorite goat families. I am so new to all of this. I live on my kid's farm and help them with their goats. We just went through our second kidding season. It is so helpful to watch all of your videos--yours and Chrystal's. They both teach and encourage.
Lydia and Ethan are so funny! Congratulations Lydia for graduating! 🎉 Happy Birthday Ethan! 🎂 Wishing you all the best!
Congratulations Lidda on your high school graduation. 🎉🎉
All the goats look good. Your children are so funny 😂😂
So everyone's goat babies are not the most beautiful in the world? 😁 I liked that term barn blind, I imagine it's so easy to factor in personality and seeing them daily, which the judges don't get to see. So interesting! Thanks for taking us along! PS> If there was a 'geriatric' senior class, Luna would win! ❤
Hi, Crystal! Great that you two are friends! Congratulations DaNelle. It was fun, even if exhausting.
Lydia!! Congratulations on your graduation!! I am so excited for what is next for you!! Celebrate 🎈🥂 🎓🎊
Maybe I’m biased, but your goats looked the absolute best to me!! I gotta say too, that it was so nice to see Ethan and Lydia just fooling around being brother and sister. They seem to have such a great relationship. But yeah, I don’t know anything about judging, lol, but I still say your goats looked amazing!
So glad River did well, she is my favorite of your goats at the moment. I know nothing about goats, but as an artist I look at her and she is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. She just looks right. Make sense?🤷🏻♀️
This year I bought a mini fridge and rigged it up to use as a cold milk free choice lamb bar. We love this method of bottle feeding. The kids grow like dam raised and are friendly without being obnoxious. I know you have mentioned straight bottle fed kids are so pushy.
Very good job great love you too baby
makes sense, you’re having someone experience with goats with a fresh set of eyes to give you their honest opinion. Love it.
Your goaties are lovely and you have SUCH a fabulous outlook about learning! Great job!
I love that Ethan and Lydia still do their little vlog segment 😆❤️
Oh! And congratulations to Lydia on graduation!🎉
I've been watching you guys for 6 years and never knew Lydia was in the same grade as me lol!
I'm graduating in a few weeks
Reba is looking like your winner for senior class
Happy Birthday to Ethan & Congratulations to Lydia, she looks too young to have graduated. Good job at the show. It's gotta be stressful for all the goats being away from home & for you worrying about how they will do. It's a great learning expierence.
you are the best.i watch your chanel all the time. your goats are beautiful
You need to drop the Tilly line sadly... congrats on the winning goats!
With having goats (300 at some points) in the family...one thing to remember is that your just getting started with shows and every show is so different. You did great! don't under sell yourself. You will with practice get better and better. 😊 I look forward to seeing you at more shows. Thank you for the share!
My son graduated too!! And it's BOTH my kids birthdays and my Mother-in-law's birthday, and Mothers day!! don't forget that! LOL I understand lol I've been so busy l8tly..
Reba has always had such a hold on my heart! She’s so beautiful.. can’t wait to hear how Crystal’s herd did! Congrats!! Also, 🎉CONGRATULATIONS LYDIA!🎉
I was worried when I didn't see a video last week. I'm so glad that you are all OK. Congratulations on the high placings at the goat show!
so fun to see you guys showing your goats, i had a lot of fun watching this video today
Happy birthday, Ethan! Congratulations, Lydia! Congratulations on the goat show, too!
ive been here since lunas first birth its so bittersweet seeing all this progress its so hard to wrap around that lydia graduated 💔 time flies!
Congratulations to all that were involved.
Seems like there was some very good competition there! So happy for Amberlee, but very shocked about both Blue Cactus as well as you guys! ❤
I love that you and crystal are good friends. I watch you both faithfully. I love learning about your herds. Your babies are beautiful and can’t wait to see crystals review of this show!!
I received my Luna plushie the other day, and it’s just amazing! So adorable😊
Love seeing my two goat UA-camrs!!!!
I love your video, It makes my day when I see a notification saying you’ve uploaded❤ also Lydia is so pretty!
Congratulations my son just graduated today 😊
Way to go!!!! Yall did wonderful! BTW, I love when you and Crystal get together at the shows!!!! 💜💜
I LOVE SEEING YOU AND CRYSTAL TOGETHER!!! That makes my heart just glow, I truly admire and look up to you both, I’m so inspired by all that you do for your families and your herds! 💖💖💖
This show seems very similar to a dog show. When I was young, we showed Old English Sheepdogs. With them it was more who the handler was not really the dog. It was all politics. Although we did have a male and female American Canadian champion. The female was in the club register as top producing and so was her daughter. Congratulations to your son and daughter. Congratulations goats.
Ethan, hope you had a great birthday. Congratulations to you Lidia on your graduation.
Hello! I am a very big fan of yall! Yall have inspired me to start my own Homestead! I really hope you all see this! I hope you all have a great day and you have a beautiful family!! Have a great day!
I love honey! she has to be one of my favorite baby goats ❤
Way to go Reba! Way to go Daphne! Way to go River!
I think you guys did great!
Excited to see more goat shows!! They’re so interesting!
There’s my first goat videos on You Tube, Crystal! I love watching you both❤️🥰👍
It’s great to see Ethan back.
I love seeing you and Crystal together! She makes great soap! We enjoy both of your channels so much!
Dang it. Prim is gonna do better in the next show! She seems like such a protective mama, so she was probably feeling the stress being away. Next time! PS I love that you and Crystal find each other at shows. Y’all are both incredible breeders and humans❤
Congratulations to your daughters graduation 🎓
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Tatum walks beautifully
Congratulation on the show wins! Congratulations to Lydia on her graduation! Congratulations to Ethan on another year around the sun! Y'all can now take a breath and settle back into happy life on the Wolf farm. :D
Congrats Lydia!!!! Happy belated birthday Ethan
I would really like to see y'all and Crystal breed the super goat from your 2 herds combined... I'm sure between these herds yall can make a grand grand champion
Happy belated birthday Ethan!😊
All your girls are winners in my eyes. I liked seeing you and your best friend at the end of the video. I instantly liked her. Maybe it's the matching gap in our teeth 😬
Better luck next year. Now you know what to do differently. Thanks for sharing this with us 🩷🩷🩷
Awe the goat's look so sweet
Seeing you and Crystal together is like running into old friends. Something comforting about seeing 2 people that I have watched for years in the same video.
Congratulations to Lydia and happy birthday to Ethan!! Love watching your children grow.
Happy Birthday to Ethan, Congratulations to Lydia! fun watching the showings - too bad it is all subjective and according to one judge's opinion - congrats on the high placements. I got my plushy Luna, she is adorable.
❤🎉Yesssss. 1st place 2xs. Congratulations 🎊. Your goats are Beautiful. Was Great seeing Crystal with you. She recommended your channel. You guys can continue to work together. Soo much to learn.❤
Just wanna say y’all have helped me through so much. I know these videos are a lot of work and I just want to say I appreciate em so much. Hope you have a great day!
You guys did great! And every show is an amazing learning experience for sure 😊
I'm shook about Rebas placing 😅 that's amazing lol Especially considering how stunning Prim is, but I didn't realize Prim was such a booty.
All of the goats did so well❤
Our local goat show is the 10th of this month. I don’t show any goats but I help out. I’ve been judge secretary for the last 3 years. It is odd how they see different things in each goat. There are standards, and the judges I’ve worked with have been extremely experienced. It is very informative. Great job with your girls👏🏼👏🏼
Great video! 🌻👍🏻❤️❤️
Happy birthday Ethan and congratulations Lydia
So interesting and fun. Good for Reba and River and all the goats. 💕
My favorite got you have is river
Crazy how grown your kiddos are. I’ve been watching since they were wee ones and they’re growing up to be some fantastic young adults 😊
Your does definitely rank in first place to me! They are gorgeous!!! Congratulations on all of the wins and also a big congratulations to Lydia for graduating!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
watching the goat show with my own luna goat!
So good to see everyone again, my phone was on the hummer
It’s not fun without the mayhem!🎉❤😂 Happy Birthday, Congratulations on graduation and yay goats!
I LOVE THE SHOW VIDEOS ! Good job !
Love Crystal ❤
What a fun video! I think the ladies did well and you should feel proud of all your work.
I got my own Luna in the mail 2 days ago, so I’m happy! ❤️🐐
You got your own Luna "in the mail"? Whaaa? LOL
EDIT: Never mind... I saw another comment that said they got their 'plushy' Luna in the mail. LOL 😂😅
This channel is the best! I love you guys! ❤
Aw, will we have to say goodbye to Tatum? She was one of my favourites but it's understandable
Loved seeing this show! Also so fun when Crystal from BCDG shows up in the vid! You are both so dang fun!
I attended my first goat show over Memorial Day weekend as well! My great friend from Twin Pear Farm here in Oregon showed her does at the ISDGA show in Boise, ID. Wow! Such an experience! Exhausting and wonderful all at once! Thanks for your amazing content! Go goats! 🐐💜🐐💜🐐💜🐐
I show both dairy cows and market hogs so I must say the places you get are definitely the judge’s opinions! At one show, I won 1st and at the next I got 11th. But congrats at all the placings you won at the show! It seemed like so much fun, and I sure had fun watching it. 😁
This is what I never liked about showing: I had the same experience more than once (rabbits and sheep) where the same animal could be first for one judge and last for another. As a young teenager in 4H the "unfairness" of it really bothered me.
@@susanpohlers2638
I completely agree with you because I co-owned a miniature pincher with the breeder, which meant that I didn't have to pay for him, my sweet little Norton, but I had to pay and take him to shows. Well... I gotta tell ya that after that first show where the breeder went also, she would tell me what the judges "preferred" and most of them liked to pick the red colored dogs and not the black & tan dogs which Norton was the latter one. I was sooo disheartened by that ever first show, that when we got home, I had discussed with my husband, and we decided to bye him outright so we didn't have to go to another show.
It's awful that judges can get away with that!
Sorry for the long story, but I just wanted to put my 2 cents in. LOL
Good luck and many blessings to you and yours. 😊
I showed goats,dairy cows and market hogs and I’ll say a lot of the judges it isn’t opinion each show is going to vary its self with the judges and how they scale things and then contribute it to the other judges as well. I used to get straight 1st places for most of my animals you just have to know how to show and kinda what the judges want to see and how to sell them in a way Ive been doing it since I was like 12 or something and I’ll say it just takes practice knowing the area knowing the other animals and yours. Again everyone is different so verdicts will be different.
Congratulations, I think you guys did really good. I know it's a lot of hard work preparing for and being at the shows, so good job on all of that. If you do bottle feed, I suggest a premier one or some other type of bucket feeder or multiple bucket feeders. As I am sure you already experienced on a small scale, preparing and cleaning individual bottles is a pain.
Reba looked awesome!
Aww Tatum, as the late, great Sir Bruce Forsyth would whisper to the underdogs on Strictly Come Dancing, "you're my favourite". 💖🐐💖
Living my best goat mom life vicariously through you!
Thanks for sharing.
I can't believe they are all grown up. I miss them being little kids. But you guys have done such a wonderful job raising strong responsible, respectful children. They are awesome.
Congratulations Lydia and Happy birthday Ethan!!! Congrats on the show as well ... Keep up all the good work... 💜👏
