You guys!! Every single beautiful comment is making me cry! 😭I've been a wreck for weeks over all these changes with the goats and to know you all understand and are supportive is just the best! Winston will be a great friend for Zorro, and Willow & Winnie will be so loved here and will get plenty of stumps 😂Fun fact I didn't mention in the video...Wally (Willow's other buckling we sold as a wether) has perfect legs, too 👍🏻so all is well with him. Let's look forward to the new doelings coming to the farm in April & May (yes, there are two of them:) and we'll start fresh with some new milking lines for the farm!

Your doing the right thing, but I have a question as a not anything breeder.. What if Winnie doesn't show the extension in a year or two? Would you reconsider or can it reshow in her line later? How far would you, theoretical, have to go to say it is truly bred out?

As one of your long time subscribers, here’s what I know. Every goat that crosses your path will live it’s best life. Whether a breeder, milker or a pet - if you keep them, sell them or gift them - all your goats live their best lives. Thank you for being a responsible breeder 💜

You can't make everyone "happy, happy, happy" all of the time. Hard decisions and bad news are a part of life. In the end, this is your farm and the animals are your responsibility and therefore, it's your decision and people should be respectful of that. Personally, I can't imagine the farm without Luna or Willow but, I understand that my emotions are mine to own. As always, much love from Florida 🌞

I was going to say something similar. This is called responsible breeding.

Completely understand the reasoning on keeping Willow, Winnie, and Winston as pets! Its your farm, your animals, it’s all your doing! I have no problem with it, I’m just glad you’ve noticed before breeding them!

I’m pretty upset about willow’s line being cut off. But the worst part is willow has been one of or possibly the best milker. But I agree with your decision, they shouldn’t have to be kept with this problem

I just love how much you care about your furbabies.. you are making the right decisions. Bless you

Everyone that has watched for a long time will be sad to see Stella go but know you have to do what’s best for your farm.

Winnie, willow and Winston are gonna be the new reboot of the Kardashians after this season 20

You are making the right decisions for you , your animals and ultimately the breed as a whole. Ignore the negative Nellies.

The decisions you’ve had to make must be so overwhelming! The right choice can be hard but at least we know that the goats are happy!! We all support you!

“Not watch you ever again” You’ve got to be kidding me. I love you guys. I know this was a hard decision. We all were very excited to see Willow have babies, but if it’s unsafe, then it shouldn’t be done. I don’t want to see willow or any of her babies go through what Penny went through. We support you no matter what.

Though it’s sad to see Penny’s line end, I can completely understand why every decision was made. Can’t wait to see all the new goats in the future! 🥰🐐

My heart is breaking for you. Your doing the best you can and God will be with you. Praying for you. God's blessing for you and yours

A breeders job is a hard one. You’re setting a great example to aspiring Nigerian breeders (myself included). When we’re taking the responsibility of breeding animals we need to make sure we’re producing the best animals possible. It’s a disservice to do otherwise.
