In this vlog I’m taking you along for one of those days that just punches you right in the gut. We’re talking baby goats, disbudding, and the reality that even when you do what you think is the “right” thing—like going to the vet—farm life can still go sideways fast. The title says it all: a baby goat dies during/around the disbudding process, and I share what happened and what it felt like as we tried to navigate it in real time. This is also one of those reminders that kidding season chaos isn’t just cute babies and bottle feeds—it’s hard calls, vet visits, and sometimes heartbreak. If you’re new to goats, I hope this video gives you a real look at the risks and the emotions behind common procedures like disbudding, and why I don’t take any of it lightly. We keep going day by day, but I won’t pretend these losses don’t stick with you.
