I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

I love Hope! I followed Hope to your channel.
Same but I didn’t really watch the channel
Sameeee
AM GARCIA same
Is Hope still there?
Oh my goodness! I can't believe that it's almlst been 18 months since Hope was born! 😮 I still remember watching her birth on the live stream. 😂 Can't wait for all the babies!
17 months now. Holy cow, i dont know why but i cant even imagine it. I saw 18months and i thought "no she isnt, she's like 10 months old, right?" how the heck is my sense of time so crazy?! I knew she was born last year but this year has gone by so fast, it feels like it's march still and Tilly's first babies were born in like june or something!
Funny, as I yell to the wife all excited I’m saying” babies honey, the babies are on their way yaaaaaay!” My younger son (23) looks at the wife and says “really mom, aren’t you like 51 already? You’ll be 69 to 70 when that baby graduates high school! Wow did you guys plan on this?!” Meanwhile the wife and I are turning purple trying not to laugh! We’ve decided to let it go without any further explanation, just to see how big of a tale gets back to us between our other two kids and probably half the neighborhood and all of our social media Hahahahahaha!
😅🤣🐐🐐
Good one!
You’ll have to be sure to let us know how the rumor mill turns out. 😂
Congratulations are in order. Your going to have more kids. Can't wait to see the babies. May God continue to Bless your Homestead.
Yes! Babies! So much to look forward to!💓 The cabinet looks great! I love the staggered boards on the sides!💓
That knot flyback from your table saw brought back some Scarry memories for me . I had a knot kick back and knock the lens out of my safety glasses and cut my face below my eye . now I always wear a full face safety shield .
Good morning Al and Gina great video as always you should order your ear tags from Premier 1 which you can custom with your farm logo and also us a color code fathering system lol..Zeke has a yellow ear tag, and Caleb has a green tag so you would know who the father is just an idea so when you have a bit of kids running around
Chrystal at Blue Cactus Dairy goats has babies coming now and into next month. She's very interested in improving milk production in her herd. Maybe a good place for a new doe to add to your herd.
LOL I was going to recommend Blue Cactus Dairy and I see someone already did. I love watching Crystal from the Cactus Ranch... she is amazing as well as her husband and her lovely kids... but Crystal knows a lot about goats and has been showing them in shows and breeding them and caring for them for years. She can help you out for sure. Just reach out to her... one thing I learned from Crystal from Blue Cactus Ranch is that if a female does not get pregnant she is going to require a more aggressive male to actually get her pregnant??
You need to check out blue cactus dairy goats she has 4 baby’s now she watches y’all and I think you can learn a lot from her
I was just about to say that lbvs
She is the very best
Bass 167 oh I love blue cactus dairy goats! I can’t wait to see dawns babies
Brittney Lemke, I’m so worried about poor Dawn and I know Crystal is too. 🙏🤟🐐👋👍
Audrey Abdo she had her babies the other day. Crystal did a post on UA-cam and she got her doe!
So glad at least two o the goats are pregnant. It is going to be a fun time this Spring. Nice storage cubby too. Y'all have a Blessed weekend. See ya Monday.
I have taught woodworking in public schools and can not stress enough that need to install the blade cover and splitter on your table saw or more serious injuries may follow.
Between you and all the babies coming and weed'm and reap and all Danielle's babies coming I'm so excited for spring and summer! Love watching the babies run around and act silly!!!
Would you consider going on the list From blue cactus dairy, crystals goats are gorgeous
I was also going to suggest Blue Cactus!
I was thinking the same thing, Crystal loves her goats and the new babies are so cute...but can't wait to see the new babies here!
I was watching Crystal the other day with her 2 sets of babies. She was saying 150ish days for gestation. She's also an AZ farm.
A bonus with Crystal's kids is that her does (and buck's bloodlines) are selected for udder and teat size and attachment, and most of them have milk stars already... and while Al does not show or test his stock, such items still can translate to easier milking and higher yield.
Are there ugly goats? lol
Not telling yall what to do by any means,but Crystal is getting some beautiful bucks so far this year. I looking forward to seeing the colors on the kids this year😁. Nice shoe rack 👍
Al, you truely are a master at your craft. You make carpentry look easy. Gina, Many blessings to your beautiful family and congrats on the goaties on the way!!
@Lumnah Acres You might want to keep the doe and buck together for 21-30 days, so there's a better chance of breeding, since they'll go into heat more than once, and her heat only lasts 3 days. Once she acts like she no longer likes him, chances are, she's bred. You can also get some powder paint that livestock owners use. You spray about a 2" spot on her rump, and if it smears, that means the buck mounted her. I hope it helps!
I love it. You two are so cute about the impending deliveries. Gina looks like and acts like an excited grandmother just by the expression on her face. Those goats are so lucky to be in your family and to be so loved. Love you guys.
I also watch blue cactus dairy goats theres are just starting to have babys now and there beautiful
They're cute for sure.
Yes me too, they are so cute!
Also I'm so excited can't wait to see all the new kids.
So happy to hear that two of the girls are expecting. Spring on the homestead is going to be very busy, but oh so fun! I am also glad to see that you are using your amazing organization storage and building some more for the basement of the house. Wonderful and it is looking so great. Al, I'm so glad you weren't hurt when that piece of wood flew at you, you need to think about wearing more protection on your face. It's the mom in me, but after seeing that, it is a must!
Wonderful News!!!!! Can't wait til the babies arrive.... Thanks for sharing
I can't wait for the babies/kids to get here,they are adorable. When Gina said you all could spend time with each set of babies when they get here.This is why the goats you have are so loveable and gentle.
You should get on the waiting list for Blue Cactus dairy farm. She has get blood lines and her ducklings and feelings are gorgeous.
Gina if you watch Blue Cactus dairy goats UA-cam channel she shows you how to feel for babies. It’s really cool because you can feel them kick 😁🐐
You two are such great goat parents it's going to be super fun to see how many kids you end up with!
I love popping I each day to see what is going on with your family. You both have such a connection with your animals. It is wonderful to see they are more like pets than livestock. Thank you for being such wonderful parents. I remember being on the farm as a child. And I treated each of our animals like members of our family. I learn how to build things better from watching you build things. I love it! Zeke and Calab are both daddies? Is that correct?
Hey Al, where is the first aid kit going to go? Wouldn't a Goat Journal be helpful along with ear tags or tattoos so you can keep it all straight (less confusing)? It's easy now with just a few pregnant but later it can get muddled. So if you choose to register or show them you will have the records.
Tattoo in the Ear that what we do here on our Live Stock ... Letters & Numbers on Blood Line
Gina keeps the records on everything. Guess she just didn't have the book with her.
Gena is glowing! How exciting this spring is going to be. God Bless, I'll be praying all goes well with the mom's and soon to be mom!
Im so excited to see what willow and buttercups babies look like, And cant wait til u breed Hope, I love your videos, and you all are fantastic, Thanks for sharing with us,I wish u had a live cam on the girls would be so much fun to watch,
Congratulations!! I can't wait to see what the look like and how many babies, so exciting.
I watch a lot of the homestead post and your goats are most may friendliest love all of them and your family
Congratulations L.A. I follow Weed Em too and I am so excited for all the baby goats coming. Nice cabinetry by the way.
How wonderful!!!! Even more babies!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your journey and God bless all!!!!!
I enjoy watching your different projects, And when it comes to the goats I was just wondering are you planning on doing any goat cheese I love Garlic and herb goat cheese with my seafood It's awesome, Good luck with the baby goats Opens as many as you want And yes I'm an old farmer But I haven't had much experience with goats mostly Cows and pigs Chicken and turkeys and guinea fowl, Thanks for what you do it makes an old man happy, Keep up the good work. Z
And old women too. ;)
If I understand what you were saying, Caleb is Willows buck and Zeke is Buttercups buck. Which says both are able to impregnate. If that's the case I would move Blossom back over in the front barn with the bucks and see if they bring her into heat. Then, you can chose who you want to be the buck. That way your spacing out birthing over the season and milk production will be more constant. Because after Blossom gets bred you will have Hope following her. More likely than not you will get some males this season and you may be able to trade one of the bucks for another buck to add another blood line to the herd. I would not castrate any right away until you know what your future breeding plan is.
Al you should build a dust control hood that utilizes dust capturing on your shopvac for your mitersaw to protect your lungs
Yeah basement stuff and organizing stuff ! show more basement!!
I love, _Love, _*_LOVE_* the discussion between Gina and Al about the goats. You really did your homework - well done.
I love, _Love, _*_LOVE_* the shoe rack. I want to build one of those - but for mostly boots. I have always loved boots and have several "dead" pairs, some really cool ones, imo. I think I am going to plant bulbs or herbs in all my old, blown out boots.
Congrats to Willow and Calib and to Buttercup and Zeke......yayyyyyyyyyy!!!! Can't wait for Blossom and Hope in just a few mths. Then probably Early Spring 2021 for Little Pea and Magnolia....WOW...so much to look forward to on Lumnah Acres Homestead.
Can't wait for the new piglets and the chicks to arrive for Olivia...and I feel SPRINGTIME is closing in soon for the Homestead. GOD's Blessings are always forth coming!! Congratulations Al, Gina and Olivia!!!

PS: Great job on the new wooden boot/shoe organizer ….your variety of tools made it seem simple and quick to build. Nice design.
I'm surprised Gina hasn't made bird houses and feeders with the left over wood. Birds eat lots of bugs and it would be fun for Livy to watch them and their babies.
I love Weed Em & Reap, they are how I found you, but support your local economy and farmers...get your next goat from someone near you. :) Congrats on the new goaties on the way!!
Edward Arthur Kenneth you are right!but it’s also nice to have new bloodlines in the community
@@McnuggetLady Very good point. :)
sometimes that is not feasible. For me it was not, we raise rabbits and we had to find a new buck outside our area as our stock has the bloodlines of all the local breeders. We actually found a new buck at a show a month ago and it came out of Canada with bloodlines I thought I was only going to dream about adding to the herd. Can not wait to start breeding next month. Just might have one in the next box then that will be best in show at the state convention!
@@dakotawinds9291 what breed of rabbits do you raise? I raised Havana
Al got a pusher for the table saw! Safety makes an appearance. Drilling pilot holes? Took long enough.
And that my friends is why you should use the full mask protection. Glad you’re ok.
Thank You
Yeah Al almost got a pirate scar on his lip.
A face shield is overkill for table saw work. I say this as a professional woodworker of 25+ years. What happened there was not that common and only as a result of working with knotty pine. A riving knife on the saw would be of more benefit and should be installed.
Home with the flu an watching Lumnah Acres. Things just got a whole lot better!
William Kolis - I hope it's not the beer virus!
congrats to the soon to be moms. It will be interesting to watch the kids grow.
LOL 8:08 Figaro demands to see your OSHA certification. I think it will be easier all around to have the goat births spread out this way. It gives each mom and kids the most attention, if they need it, and will be less stressful for all y'all. Blessings to all.
I was thinking two myself regards from the UK I noticed a couple of weeks ago two that looked pregnant and I think for definite you can tell if they are pregnant
That is a wonderful idea Al you need a special friend for Hope because she still gets picked on by the older goats
Exciting news about arrival of baby goats!!!! What a fun time you will have this summer. Gina, I love the Girl Glitter on your jacket. :-)
Both Willows are due in April, yours and Weed em and Reap. Ditto on Blue Cactus, her husband Derek says stuff about Al quite often.
Syman says farms are awesome along w blue cactus love them all so much so much to learn
Congrats on the results / goats!
26:50, I could see their baby bump in your 3rd last video, when they run, you can see the difference from behind.
Thanks for ideas on older video or way do things. Got so much want try forget sometimes. Not sure also comment on old video how that works for you too see. Hoping in future do like you and your family share adventures. Hopefully give other ideas or way do stuff. So can improve ways or make thing simpler. Sometimes over think things and make them difficult for ourselves. Main things is be open minded and watch and learn things. Like we try teach our kids. Look for to your videos. God Bless and hope your having a good day. And hope I'm not being a bother commenting a lot lately.
So excited for all of the baby goats!
Thanks for the video.
Congratulations on the two prego goats.
Oh my god im excited for u guys. Cant wait 2 see willows and buttercup babies. Also i want to know how many babies. U guys hands r totally full. Good Luck and congrats.
Good stuff! Our Nigerian Dwarf Goats will be old enough this coming year to breed them, and we can't wait! It sure is exciting times. I'm hoping to get more video of our goats onto my channel as well, and a lot of the things we have done here we've learned through watching your videos. Thanks for all your tips along the way, so many things you've done have been so helpful! God Bless! See you in the next video!
I like the way your stop works on the chop saw. I would cut an angle on the stop end so sawdust couldn't get in there an muck up the measurement.
Congratulations. So happy for you and your family. Love learning about farm life
I totally can't wait to see them I'm so excited happy for you guys❤️
Bet you wish now you would have kept little man intact for hope. He's so cute...
I K R. I wanted Little Man and Hope to be bred together. Would have been the cutest babies ever. I was so surprised when they had him de-rammed.
I had hoped that the constant butting of Hope wouldn't have eased up by now but I see it continues. If only she had a buddy to hang with that wasnt mean to her. I think Gina can build about anything now. Thanks for the video. Much love peace and respect. Blessings
Can't wait till all the babies are here!
Congrats! Are you planning on keeping all the kids? So definitely gonna be milking two goats (Willow & Buttercup) this year and maybe milking four if Blossom & Hope kid. Wow! Will be so good for Hope to have kids of her own, and I bet they'll be beautiful. Perhaps ya could start a countdown to the births...I bet ya Gina & Olivia could make super cool visual aids. Man, that wind is wicked!!
Normal most bread around Oct or Nov. That way babies born before warm weather get here. So dont deal with sickness as much or bugs.
Aren't there some vaccines that your pregnant does should get 6-4 weeks before they kid? C & T? I love Weed 'em and Reap, but Blue Cactus Dairy has lots of kids coming right now, and her does and bucks are champions, with the does with milk stars and the bucks' dams having them, too. Also, she recently said that she uses 145 days for Nigerian goat gestation. Hope this helps!
sometimes with certain female goats you have to leave them in with the buck for 2 to 3 months some females have a hard time getting pregnant and it takes longer
JJ JJ thank you! I tried suggesting this at the time, but no one was listening. Its not necessarily a one and done. The more they stay with the bucks, the more eggs are released.
@@cathiwim yes being a goat breeder myself sometimes it can be tricky I had one that spent her whole life with a buck and never got pregnant until she was about 7 years old
Dang!!! You are so lucky you had glasses on! The was a big chunk of knot that hit the top of your glasses!!! Glad you didn't get hurt. YEAH on at least two goats being preggers!
I'm on a similar timeline. Drawing blood to check CAE and pregnancy this week. Everyone got their CDT vaccination. I may have one doe that did not take. I acquired 2 more does, one a 12* milker. I will breed her for end of the year kids. You might consider doing milk test to continue the milk star, my girl's are high butterfat and I'm considering to verify their data.
Good thing you wear glasses Al. Now as someone who cares about your family, could you please use a dust mask? I know they can be uncomfortable, but as someone who has learned from experience, protect your lungs.
Congrats on the new babies to come. Jan of last year, we started with rabbits and it is so exciting to have new bunnies and see their their colors, sixes and how many etc..
Many blessings to your family.
Hey Al I love how you don’t use plans you must have a photographic memory, I have one to but I can’t buy film for it any more.
Roy Gabriel. Ihave thought the same thing. He is very talented
@Roy Gabriel At about 8:10 he shows a scrap of paper that has a plan
@@jasonhildreth8010 He truly IS a very talented woodsmith!
I used to have a photographic memory but then I lost it.
Good thing I took a picture!
😉
He does have a written plan. He had it in his hand at 8:12.
I hope the new coop doesn't slide down the hill into the barn as that snow and ice melts
Looks like a larger goat barn is in the future.
That thought occurred to me as well.
Congrats on the goat news. That work area is impressive.
Yo seria feliz haciendo repisas y cajitas en la carpinteria de ustedes.Cositas faciles
Listening to Gina say, "...they can have twelve teats..." Wait, what??? [rewind, rewind, rewind] "...they can have *false heats*..." The things I'm learning about goats.
Congratulation both you are and be very happy I hope everything goes out very well for that goats they are very entertaining and help everything will be to your liking James T North Carolina
Going to be a fun spring and summer, looking forward to it. Love your channel.
The picture in thumbnail is so beautiful! 😍
congrads on the new babies coming. can't wait to see their colors.
I have no experience with goats so have some questions. What is the life expectancy of your breed of goats. How old can they be and still be bred. How long after the birth do you wait to start milking. How many goats do you plan to have on the farm.
The opening scene brought something immediately to mind. The chicken coop should be named " Noah's Chicken Ark "... Lookout, Gina & her mighty pencil are at work again!
I agree with others observation, wear a dust mask when running the miter saw. The vacuum system would catch most of those fine dust particles, otherwise ya'll are breathing them in directly, not healthy...:~(
Bill on the Hill,
Vermont...:~)
I think a full plastic shield would be safer at the table saw.
How exciting!!! I really thought all three would be pregnant.
I really enjoyed the video. It will be awesome with the new kidds. 👍
Due to the care and quality environment you providing for your goats, I think they will make a record at least for the homestead.
How exciting is that?! Spring Time Baby's❣
Love the Mudd Room Boot/Shoe Organizer. I'll have to share on Facebook.
Have a blessed day
Creative little slots on wall shelves for hanging some tools. I have never seen that approach.
Gina has special powers to decode letters and messages inside of 100 year old white pine trees.
Somehow I am not surprised by Blossom not being pregnant. She had just come into season a lot compared to the others.
I hope she does breed, having a barren female is always disappointing.
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! Very interesting video today! Congratulations on the goat babies! Woohoo!
Baby goats yea so cuteness on the way.awwww. ❤️
LOL I predict June 7th for a buttercup baby!! Oh and there have been several channels on youtube with baby goats this year already! Keeping it Dutch, Hidden Heights Farm, Arms Family Homestead are the ones I follow for the most part, I do know they are not pygmies though some of Hidden Heights are Pygmy Kiko crosses.
Where do you keep all of the cases the tools came in? Mine take up a lot of room.
I am planning on letting my buck run with the does at this point. But Kiko's are not as seasonal as other breeds, from what I understand.
You need another cat. Figero lonely needs a buddy.
Not necessarily. A lot of cats really don't like other cats much at all.
I was thinking the same thing about Alivia?
@@ksingleton101 Who is Alivia? Do yu mean Olivia?
Figaro is quite an adventurer. He also play beats up Tanner and Pluto occasionally. He also oversees the homestead so I think he’s in a happy place with his cute self.
Thanks for the update on the goats....can’t wait to see the babies!! But where was our daily egg count??? Haha that is my favorite😂😂🤣
You should really use a dust mask with the Dewalt Mitre saw. I started without a mask and found I was sneezing a lot from the wood dust. So now I always wear a mask, eeven with dust extraction to keep the wood dust out of my lungs.
Very good advice 😊
Mr. Smith, Hello That's Funny Sir As i was Typing a commenting I happened to look down and saw what you had said and Chuckled.. We have been saying the Same All Season off and on to them since they started Sawing Everyday .. They had Bought some type of Dust Cyclone thing to hook to there Shop Vac,but they should hook up a Hard Line Pipe to the Saw its self ... Thank you..
Charles Smith even with dust collection, theres tiny particles floating in the air- so without a mask, you end up with COPDin your 50’s.
