    Your family unity and sturdiness shines on. It’s a pleasure to watch your channel. The new face on the pens, fencing and milk stations is quite remarkable from when I first turned in. Husband is quite handy and of course the teepee tents for the climbers and shelters as well as milking station are rescue inventions. All making it easier when the family Carrie’s on with education. Fabulous soaps and more talents unfold.

    Watching you do the goats hooves may me wonder if you wouldn't benefit from a powered pair of cutters, Sandi Brook has some for the sheep, maybe have a look cos I'm sure your hands must ache when you've done all your goats. We had 3 goats when I was younger, it was fun helping my brother look after them. When he was away I got to milk them.

    Gratz on goats' test results! Though I'm a bit new, here, so I'm not totally sure what the stars are about, but I get that higher protein and butterfat would be desirable.
    I so want goats someday. Thank you for sharing all your terrific wisdom with us. You inspire me so much!!!

    • @rebeccahenkins1697
      @rebeccahenkins1697 2 роки тому +15

      There is no lye (sodium hydroxide) left once it goes through saponification process. The sodium hydroxide would burn anyones skin if applied directly but the act of mixing with oil changes it so it isn’t sodium hydroxide any more. Anything else you buy is detergent - not soap. Most of the “soaps” in the stores are actually detergent. Soap varies a LOT and some soaps have to sit longer to mellow out or maybe you need a different oil blend and or higher fat saturation. Plus the scents can make a huge difference - I never use synthetics - not good and can make you break out.

    That wasn’t 1 ml - it was 0.6 so almost half the dose. I am a nursing pharmacology instructor LOL so I teach this every day - the plunger edge at the top is where you match your like - not the back of it! So you might want to recheck and see if it was just this time on video whoops or are they usually getting less than you intended. I jsut want you and your girls and boys to stay healthy and on track :)

    Should rub the skin before the shot and not after. Rubbing the skin before the shot desensitizes the injection area making it less painful. Rubbing after can actually in some cases make it more painful. Love watching you! Thanks for the video!!!~
