Our last batch of kids were born almost a week ago -- but we're pretty worried about the littlest one.
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. 🥰

A moment of silence for sweet Nubs.. We were so hopeful for him.. Lets give him some more of that love for him to rest peacefully..❤
Sweet Kiwi is such a good mom. So much maternal instinct in that little heart. I'm so sorry about Nubs.
The important thing is that Nubs was loved and warm, and happy 😢
Poor Chunk and Casper. It was so sweet to see Casper check on him.
Yeah, that broke my heart. ❤
Raising animals has its joys and sorrows , I'm sorry he didn't make it but from day one with him me and my daughter both said he didn't look well
Thank you for sharing the good the bad and the ugly and being so transparent for your followers about the reality of farming.
I think Kevin needs to put another tire for the baby goats ❤
Fr. I was thinking the same thing
Gurll I was thinking that maybe someone can donate a tire for these babyssss!!
@FoxSlayer_ they could I can't, though
I’m so sorry about little Nubs. Farming is not for the faint of heart. Thank you for sharing.
Had to stop watching until I could see through the tears. It never gets easy
You gave Nubs the best you could. He had a warm loving space to live his tiny little life. 💗
I hope the other buckling adapts well. I hate that nubs passed. Sending love and prayers ❤❤
So sorry about little Nubs😢I hope Chunk settles in well with his new buddies ❤️
6:49 danelle:”these babies are hungry” baby goats:” YEA, YEA, YEA, YEA”
RIP Nubs. you will be missed, little buddy.
I adore how the toddler sleeping pile was perfectly color coordinated. As a person who struggles with various ridiculous symptoms of OCD, I particularly approve of this organized sleeping pile. Well done Toddlers. Next, color sorted and alphabetized by name.
i noticed that too, it was like a gradient from cricket's mostly white to wednesday's almost pure black.
Oh my heart❤️ the baby goats sleeping together at the start of the video! 🙃😍 Wednesday is so cute! ❤️🤫🤭
I’m so sorry for your loss. Fly high little Nubs r.i.p 🕊️🕊️
Hard to believe it's been 6 years. I first found your channel when willow and Stella were born. Amazing how time flies
Sometimes, you can give all your love but it's not enough. You gave him a great life the short time he was here. Sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry. He was so sweet. And Chunk is going to be great. Bless you all.
Rest in peace little Nubs 😢❤
Hi. As a nurse, it's often the change of season is that breathing issues happen in humans too. Love from Clare in New Zealand 🇬🇸🥝
Once I reached middle age, it happens to me too now! I can certainly sympathize with Tilly, watching her grasp for air, it’s very scary for sure!
can agree cause i just got out of yet another lung infection, I didn't realise that i could be seasonal but now that i think back on it. yeah that makes too much sense
Yep. And this year most of the US has had an unseasonably warm, short winter with multiple rapid swings from high temps to below freezing with snow in many places and back warm again. It’s been ESPECIALLY harsh on animals who grow thick winter coats & thus can’t regulate their body temp with such wild swings in temps. So many people I know personally & channels I watch have had animals suffer mild to severe respiratory illnesses. With several people losing animals to such illnesses…LGDs, pet dogs, highland cattle, lamas/alpacas, sheep, fluffy goats, some short haired cattle & even chickens, ducks, geese & other birds. A friend & neighbor lost half her flock of various types of fancy chicken breeds over the last week totally 11 birds to pneumonia. 😕 Not to mention now here in the southern eastern/western US and many other parts of the country massive amounts of pollen has also hit. Between the swings in temps, pollen & rapid swings barometric pressure my sinuses are driving me nuts & Im have migraines triggered by all 3! Hope it levels out soon! Also hope we don’t have an insanely hot summer like last year!🤞🏻🙏🏼🤞🏻😕
Yes, runts pass away on you guys. But you take great care of them and your other goats. 🕊️fly high nubs🕊️
Rest in peace nubs :( You were loved, even by a dog You will be missed ❤
Awww nubs
Sorry for the loss of little nubs. Never easy to lose a baby.
Longhorn Lester's had a little runt that looked a lot like Nubs. The mama abandoned him & they tried their best but internally something was wrong. The vet recommended the last act of kindness so they did what was best for him. He'll be at peace now.
No matter how bad their odds are, it’s still sad if they pass. I cry with each loss and feel triumphant with each victory. I really wanted goats because of you but I don’t have the space for them. 🥲 I’ll do gardening and raise chicken and maybe quail. I’m old so I need it to be easy. I’ll dream as I watch your videos and live vicariously through them. Thank you for sharing. 💜💕❤️🙏🌈🐶🐾🐈
Aww we will never forget you nubs you are in a better place now❤😖😭
I am happy to see all the babies playing and healthy, they are so amazing! But I really cried when the little black guy died😢 I have a farm too. You try to do your best but in these case you never know. Thank you for sharing your videos!! 🐐❤
Luna looks so good for how old she is she is doing so good, I'm worried about Tilly are her teeth still good because when a goat geos downhill the teeth are bad I've noticed
Oh my goodness!!! That is absolutely tragic!! Rest in Peace, little Nubs. Feel soooooo bad for Chunk, but glad he has his half-siblings to play with....It's very interesting the way Casper knew what happened to Nubs....Dogs can be very intuitive....Thank you for the update!
Aww.. poor little thing. He was so tiny and to me, looked like he hadn't developed properly in the face/head. His eyes were a little wonky when he was born and his tongue was always sticking out to one side. Nubs is now in a better place, playing with little Delilah and being watched over by Penny.
Oh no! I’m so sorry for your loss of little nubs!
Poor little Nubs💔 I'm so sorry. He had you to love him, give him a comfortable home & take care of him while he was with us. Nubs was a lucky little fella for having you & your family ❤x
I’m so sorry about losing Nubs but there’s a sweet little angel in goat heaven now watching over all the other kids. God bless you for the wonderful care you give to all your goats and other animals. ❤️🐐
You gave him a happy and peaceful life for the short while he had it. You did everything you could. Hope you are well, I’m sorry about nubs❤
Poor little nubs :( you did everything you could and thank you for always being such an incredible goat owner! And sweet kiwi, the most maternal animal that ever lived…. She’s something else that girl
So Sorry about Nubs 😢 All those babies are so cute ❤
Night night, Lil Nubs~you were a joy to us, while you were here. Rest! 😢
So sorry for the loss of Nubs ❤❤
You gave him a wonderful life however short it was and gave him tons of love. RIP nubs.
Aww so sorry little nubs didn't make it 😢
rip nubs, you were well loved by your thousands of fans
Awwww..so sorry...I know it happens and you guys have done everything right..they're all so adorable..kudos to you and family always ❤❤❤❤
I’m praying for Tilly and hope she get well soon
fly high nubs
So glad you show this part too, unfortunately the Runts don't always make it & you're so right about the complications of the placental mal attachment, i was afraid he had more wrong than could be readily seen. You're such a wonderful Goat mom, your husbandry is excellent & your empathy & compassion are beautiful to behold. Thank you for being such a lovely example of how to do this the right way ❤
Bless Nubs. He is an angel in heaven now.
Im sorry about nubs.. Poor little chunk 😔😭
Rest easy nubs, such a small little goat made such an impact on so many lives, I hope chunk continues to grow and make more friends!
One of my does delivered 2 weeks early and we lost both of her twin bucklings. Its had but nature happens and their is only so much you can do. Tha k you forgiving nubs the best life even though it was short ❤
Poor sweet Nubs may he rest in peace. Sorry about your loss so glad you have the other babies to keep you happy and busy ❤
So sorry about Nubs! 🙏
Aww Casper knew 😢❤
I bet Chunk will make friends with Wednesday. RIP Nubs. ❤
Thank you for trying all you could for the little one.
Not me laughing at the babies chasing a pigeon. Lol
So sorry for your loss.
Aww Nubs. Life can be unfair ❤.
Awwww.....little Nubs.
Poor little nubs, thats to bad. Now that Chunk is with the rest you can really tell how big he is.
Thanks so much for sharing about nubs. We lost a lamb today. I was up most of the night trying to help her. This story helped me. I'm sorry for your loss. The ones who are healthy and jumping around are so healing to our souls.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Glad you are finding some comfort in this channel. All the best to you.
Prayers for nubs that he stay safe in heaven I’m so sorry that that happened
rip nubs ❤🕊️
Poor baby. I almost cried. I have a soft heart for babies. Both humans and animals.
I'm so sorry about nubs, hopefully next year will be more successful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
R.I.P little Nubs. Run free. 💙
That got me crying poor baby 😢
Rest in peace Nubs!! Thank you for showing everything, gives us the whole picture of that lifestyle.
Por lil baby😓 RIP ❤
Sad to hear about little Nubs. It's like you said, sometimes they just aren't meant to be here for more than a little while.
Awhhh I need me a pule of bb goats
Nubs and baby delilah up there playing together ❤
I'm so sorry about little Nubs. I had a feeling the last video that he wouldn't make it. He seemed even weaker than Newt was. 🥺🥺
Poor little nubs, praying for you all☺♥♥ the runts don't always make it believe me I know. sending love.
So sorry to hear about Nubs. You did your best! Poor Tilly, too. Hope she recovers 💯 percent.
I'm so sorry for little Nubs but how lucky he was to have had a life where he was always fed, safe, and warm.
RIP little one. You were loved.
Oh, I'm so sorry about Nubs. You certainly give all of your goats so much love and the best possible chance of growing up. Casper and Chunk were so precious, as well as Kiwi. Blessings for all of you, as well as your herd. And thanks for sharing your life with us.
Casper was watching out for Nubs.. aww. I hope Chunk adapts well with the other babies 💜
Little Nub had a good life on her few weeks on earth she felt all the love from her human parents and love ❤️ from all the animals. She will be missed!
Petey is stunning 😍
A moment silent for nubs. He is in heaven with all the other goats 🐐
I'm so sorry for the loss of Nubs. So adorable. I hope Chunk will get along with the others and not miss Nubs. Casper was so alert to what happened. Love and prayers from NC.
RIP Little Nubs. Sometimes Life just happens. :( At least he was well Loved and cared for during his short time.
Awk poor Nubs 💔 big hugs for u all😘😘
Awww, lots of love for the journey across the rainbow bridge Nubs. You're a good GoatMum DaNelle. 😔😔
Rest in peace little Nubs. I find it so instinctual and loving that Casper knew something had happened to Nubs. Praying for health on the farm. ❤
Sending all my love to little nubs you were very adorable with your wonky ears ❤
Thank you so much for showing us the good, the bad, and the ugly. I had the feeling Nubs would fail to thrive - so thankful his twin is big and strong. I'm sure lil Chunk will adjust greatly to all the other lil kids. Seeing Kiwi visit with you was precious it's been some time since she's made an appearance in a video I almost forgot about her! Hoping Tilly bounces back and has a smooth recovery!!
I’m sorry for the loss of little Nubs ❤ As you say, the runts can be runts because they didn’t have a good nutritional supply during the pregnancy or it could be genetics or both combined. I think this time it was both things combined, just by what has been shown in your videos 😢
RIP sweet little Nubs....go romp and play with all your new friends across the 🌈 bridge. 😢😢😢❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗
It's better that Nubs passes quickly rather than linger and suffer. Regardless, it's always hard to lose an animal. I feel so sorry for Tilly. I hope she done with her illness for this season.
Get well soon, Tilly! 💐
Poor sweet Nubs. You could tell he had a lot of physical shortages. I'm glad his brother was there for him and Casper knew something was different. Return to the Earth Mother, sweet Nubs.
Nubs reminded me of little Delilah that you guys lost a few years back. So sad to see it happen but that’s the unfortunate reality of breeding sometimes. I’ve been watching since you had Doris and Mabel on the farm and have enjoyed every video since. Great work Danelle and Kevin. I hope Lydia and Ethan are doing well too❤
I love the sounds of your farm: the kids, the birds , the chicken, and even the train. Poor Tilley...!
Sending prayers for little Nubs. 🙏 My favorite buck just had seizures last night. He’s doing pretty good now.
So very sorry about Nubs.
I’m so sorry for your loss with little nubs(rest in peace).
