Tiny TUI the goat!

- Farming is a labor of love. People who take care of livestock humanely spend a lot of time weighing if letting nature take its course is best or if more can be done to help the animals we love live their best life possible. It is a question that keeps small farmers awake at night as we take all the minute observations of the day, filter them through past experience and then try to make the best decisions possible for each animal in our herd. It is a juggling act with intuition, knowledge and love all at play. This week we have been worrying about little Tui, born tiny with two larger siblings on May 16th. He has a tiny voice and is a little slow on his feet. But in our experience, if I goat has a significant issue, their body won't be able to keep up with their growth over the first week. Most goats who make it solidly into the second week can pull through and keep improving. Today is Day 6 for Tui and we are feeling hopeful. I will be looking at him all night on the live cam anyway, but I am feeling more confident he just needs time.
Thanks for visiting farm friends.

Our Philosophy for Those who do't know us well...
Sunflower Farm is one of a handful of No Cull commercial dairy goat farms in the country. It is common practice to “cull” or kill goats who do not serve a dairy operation to their fullest capacity. On average, a fourth of a dairy herd is culled for various reasons each year. This might include all newborn bucklings (male baby goats), older dairy goats who are no longer fertile, and any goat who does not produce the desired amount of milk. We know first hand how hard it is for dairy operations to remain solvent. Culling practices can help farms: increase their profit margin, save time, and work towards genetics in a dairy herd that emphasize high milk production. We have consciously chosen another path for our animals.
We are working hard to prove that a farm can be both profitable and humane. We kept second jobs as teachers for the first 9 years so that we could explore ways to generate income on a small farm without the pressure of having to operate in a way that would take all the joy out of what we do. At Sunflower Farm, every goat born on the farm is named and valued and we cherish our animals long after their commercial productivity while providing them the very best feed, medical attention and love.
Farming is hard daily work for all involved. Although the goats enjoy lots of time grazing in the field and enjoying the attention of visitors, they work hard too. The does at our farm take excellent care of their kids. Anyone who has been a parent knows how much work this is! They also hop onto the milk stand eagerly and give us milk so we can provide delicious cheese and other dairy products for our local neighborhood. We see it as part of our contract with our animals to do everything we can to make their life happy and healthy since they give so much to us. We also know that these dams love their kids, and so we find caring homes for any we can't keep (often long before we breed we have a full waiting list). Each kid has a distinct personality and we grow incredibly attached to all of them by the time they leave at 8 weeks. The notion of culling all the bucklings at birth as many farms do as general practice is not acceptable to us. Because they make such incredible outdoor pets, we have had no problem finding homes for all the kids.
Lastly, the idea of killing an animal that has spent its life serving our farm is incomprehensible to us. Many of our does have kids and grandkids who live on the farm. When they nap in the afternoon, they curl up in a heap by family, sometimes 3-4 generations all snuggled together. We believe even the old lady goats who can no longer be bred deserve this time with family.
While culling might be necessary in a huge dairy operation, we believe that people who buy local are looking for an alternative which is more in line with how they would treat their own animals. We are proud to be a dairy who can offer you products you can feel great about!
Thanks so much for visiting the farm online and we hope we have an opportunity to meet you all in person before too long!

He looks like a little teeny teddy bear. I am very hopeful that he will keep improving!! Go Tui!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Amen! It's wonderful to see how the love and attention keep him growing and going. I'm ded from the qte!
Your farm animals are precious and love your videos. But this video startled me and kept me VERy uncomfortable because of your voice. Sorry but pls speak gently and not SO loud! The voice does NOT go at all with the gentle things you are showing us. Its Totally OPPOSITE !
@@euphoria156 ? I'm quite sensitive to noise and find it perfectly fine. It doesn't bother me at all. There is a little "echo" when she's in the barn but even that doesn't bother me. UA-cam keeps putting everything at full volume, which is always a shock, but I shut off the autoplay so I can adjust the volume before I start the vid.
Goat stew 😋
@@hootiebubbabuddhabelly goat stew 😋 tastes better than golfish stew
Oh my goodness. Tui is so teeny. He’s precious.
😀 💗 💝 💖 💝
too sweet!!!
Goat BBQ.
Teeny Tui 💛
Tasty goat
Best wishes, love, and kisses, Tui the tiny goat!
Sending huge hugs and lots of love to little TUI !!! Get strong little one !!!!
Goat stew 😋
Lord, please bring Tui thru these early weeks to be healthy and strong. . Help him to nurse ALOT and grow fast. Amen.
I've always had a weakness for "runts" and am pulling for Tui!
I just recently found your channel and I can't tell you how much joy it brings me! And at the right times! TUI💙
Me too! I love these goat kids! Tui is AMAZING!
Makes my heart sing🌈
I'm a new subscriber and I'm so happy I did. I've haven't smiled this much in a very long time. Thank you so much for your time and effort to give us these videos. Blessings to all goats.
Welcome! Goats are great for smiles!
@@SunflowerFarmCreamery l. watch you from Ukraine.You video help me live in war...When I see you video I smile.Thank you!
Me too Bella !!❤️🧡💙
It's not just Ripley who's a good goat mom, y'all are and you know it. Going without all that sleep, worrying about the wonky ones more. TUI's going to do just fine and reward both mom Ripley and your hard work (and worry). Yay Tui, big things waiting for ya; you go be special you little hopper, you.
wonderful and sweety goats! 😍😍😍😍😍 but what are their destiny??? Killing a sentient being is ALWAYS a crime
@@biokosmos I think you need to read the introduction above and check out their philosophy. They are a no-cull dairy operation (no animal gets killed). They keep numbers low and all bucklings find good homes to become pets. Check out their site. It's a great operation.
With y'alls extra love, prayerfully he will continue to thrive!! Thank you for sharing 💖
Those aren’t kids, those are little quilts with legs.
🥰
He is PERFECT and exactly who he needs to be. He might be smaller and more delayed than his sisters, but he does not know that. And, just as importantly, they don’t know that. Nature will not waste resources on unviable young, so the fact that mom is willing to nurture him means something. Plus, that white spot on the top of his head and the streak down his little leg are too cute for words💖! I have every confidence that your diligent care of this precious little guy will pay off in a healthy, content (and endlessly entertaining) goat!
I agree it is a good sign mom is so doting! And thanks for your confidence! It is reassuring!
@@SunflowerFarmCreamery
Is there any advice you can give me on being a first time goat breeder. I have 4 females, I don't even know if they're pregnant or not. I was watching for them to go into heat and I believe our male did his job, I just have no clue?
He’s absolutely adorable. Hoping & praying he continues to get bigger and stronger and hoppier each & every day. 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
2:50 How can you give away babies parting them from their mother??! They dont only get nutrition and care form their mother, mother teaches them for a LONG time what to eat, how to take care of themselves from danger, what not to eat, how to heal oneself when get hurt, eat something wrong etc. WHY PPL ARE QUICK TO SEPARATE THE BAIES OF EVERY SPECIE FROM THEIR MOTHERS???! DO YOU RESEARCHE, THINK ABT IT AND PLS DONT EARN CURSES OF THE MOTHER AND KIDS , PPL WHO KNOW BETTER AND ABOVE ALL gOD.
@@euphoria156 there are some excellent decaffeinated coffees, they taste just as good as regular coffee.
Little Tui is absolutely adorable!! He might be small but look at him already hopping & running!! Bet he'll be the leader yet!
He's so precious! Praying for TUI to continue to thrive in Jesus' Name! God bless Y'all! 🙏🏻✝️🤗🐐🐐🐐🐐
Hey little Tui ❤ Here in New Zealand we have the phrase "Kia Kaha" which means "Be Strong"... you just remember those words everyday, keep fighting, and make us Kiwis proud!
Love this!! I might write it on his collar today!!!!
@@SunflowerFarmCreamery That would be perfect 🥰 You all take care.
Sending positive thoughts to Tui.
In spite of baby Tui's challenges, nature is at-hand...he's walking and soon the wobbles will be gone...his heart is healthy and all he projects is love...his siblings love him no matter his size, and all of us are praying for his 7th day...soon he'll be on his way hoppin' with the other kids 'cuz he's got all the parts. Blessings to all of you for 24/7 TLC. Can't wait to watch him excel now. He will. He's made it this far...
What an adorable little fella!!! Best wishes for Tui to thrive!!! Such a precious little family with an outstanding mother!! Her instinct to give him the extra time to nurse is wonderful!!! Thank you for sharing Tui and all the beautiful animals on your farm!!!

I am addicted to TUI.
This is the first time I've ever fallen in love with a goat! Tui is absolutely beautiful.
Gidday Hope this is Bronwyn from New Zealand. I just loved this wee video seeing tiny Tui and his sister's Kea and Kiwi. So pleased that Tui is doing better each day...so sweet.
I saw a Tui in our apple tree just outside our kitchen window last Friday and I thought about the wee baby goats with their N.Z. bird names.
All the best and hugs for wee Tui 🤣🤣
Love this Bronwyn!! Someday I am going to see the birds they are named after in person!
I've always had a heart for "runts". Love him!!!! 🙏🙏❤️
Tui is such a little love! I love his little bleats!
Everybody pray God loves his goats too talking to create anything and make it new
Some of us just need a little more time to get our feet under us--little Tui is no exception! You go little guy! The world will wait for you until you're ready to shine 💖
People like you and those babies are a big part the hope for our world💖 Thank you!

Oh sweeeeeetheart, Tui. Thank you for sharing him with us.
Sweet little Tui! Please decide to keep him! You have worked so hard to help him thrive. Kudos to Ripley, who is so patient with his nursing and licks him lovingly.
Awwwe, his little wagging tail is too much. He fell, got up, and still wagged his little tail.
Thank you for sharing little Tui's progress with us, and I look forward to seeing more of him! Your loving care and attention is so wonderful to see.
Thank you so much for sharing Tui’s story with us, he’s so sweet. UA-cam videos like your channel is why I keep coming back. We all need more positive stories like Tui’s to help us get through so many difficult events in the world right now.
Thank you for your care and attention of this little guy. You can hear the care and commitment in your voice, as well as a constant smile - y'all have earned. Keep up the great work and thank you for adding a midweek, rainy day smile on our faces in Atlanta!
Thanks for your kind note! TUI is doing amazing! Finally hit his stride this week!
My strongest positive energies to Tui!!! And much love!!!
Tui is so precious! First we snack-then we jump- then we snack again
He is so cute. I wish him, that he grow up quickly and can enjoy his life like other babies.
Thank you so much for the precious joy you bring to the net,….and all the work you invest in God’s creation🥰
Ripley is definitely being a very good mommy to her little ram. Hope he grows up to be a big feisty bully goat.

Tui is precious. He's an absolute cutie pie. Nothing cuter than baby goats and baby sheep. Love how the hop and jump around on everything . Everything becomes a gym. I'm glad he's doing better and I hope he continues to improve and grow up to be a big boy.
Oh those two tiny goats are just sweetie pies. Glad they are getting special attention from momma's and humans. 💞
He has a really good momma, and really good humans, too.
What a blessing...
A year from now he'll be chewing the fenders off your vehicles 💞
