Why the goat milk mother gives salty look to the farmer. It’s because the farmer thought she looked very cute in front of the salt block, patiently waiting to be released from the stand. It appears that the goat doe did not see the point of having a video taken of her.
An exchange between the farmer and his goat doe at the end of the milking session.
The farmer is delighted that so far, over 3000 people have viewed this little exchange between him and the goat. What do you think about it? This video was filmed and uploaded around 4 weeks ago.
The Goat Milk Mother I’d like to show you is from a while ago. It is very short, and filmed in 2018. It captures a goat sneezing.
Finally, here is a short clip of the goats about their normal evening routine. Their normal life includes making sure that Goat Milk Mother remains superior to Goat Milk Teenager!
We are grateful to YouTube for allowing us to upload our videos, and make them accessible to you to consume and share with others. It certainly helps with selling soap! Not everyone wants to view soap ads every week. But a lot of people have fun watching animals be themselves.

Goat Milk Soap or even the skincare stick is something that not everyone thinks of buying online.

Winter is approaching and your skin may become drier. This is where Goat Milk Soap like Milk Relief Soap™ and other interesting skincare products like Lano Relief Skin Stick™ may help.
So what is dry skin? According to the internet, is an uncomfortable condition. I associate it with white scales (probably where it has been scratched). It certainly itches and there may be cracking.
Many people notice pain on the heels of their feet when the winter air begins to strike brutally, drying out the skin.
The reason why we started making the Lano Relief Skin Stick™ was because of dry skin. Not just winter dry skin. We needed something to supplement the excellent work our soap was doing for our skin.
Lano Relief Skincare Stick™
Pure NZ Lanolin + Manuka Oil at your fingertips, without the gooey mess or unpleasant smell of sheep! Manuka honey is made by honeybees going to the blossoms of Manuka trees; Manuka oil is made from steam distilling the whole branches of Manuka trees. Manuka, unlike its counterpart Tea Tree in Australia, has a gentle sweetish aroma. Every part of a Manuka tree has been used by the Maori people for medicinal purposes for generations.
Bank deposit: Goodly Heritage Trust 38-9012-0651098-00 (Kiwibank) is the bank to deposit into. It used to be Shy Sheep Limited.

What’s been happening on the farm as winter approaches?
Firstly, we have been making a lot of videos. But the most recent development is a question and answer format video. Here is an example of one.
Do goats change colour?
Also, since the last blog update here, there has been another interesting development in our Goat Milk Soap NZ YouTube channel. We’ve seen some impressive numbers of views on a few of the videos. Like 70,000 views! Who knows how many we’ll have after winter 2021.
70.000 views!
Even videos taken in the dark get views. But not nearly as many yet. It is worth noting there is a video format, like the video above, which is suited to mobile devices, and if it is 1 minute or less, YouTube are likely to give you up to 70,000+ views. But the video below has a lower reach because they treat it differently.
In any case, if you share a video with a friend, like or comment, it will help us to spread the word about our soap, and we greatly appreciate it. We really do. So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Goats don’t care as much about privacy as family ties. Goat MIlk Soap mother goes to milking time with her daughter.
Taking your daughter to milking time is not what most cows or goats do on a commercial dairy farm. Most farms separate their young stock from the adults at birth, or as soon as possible. We do not.
In the past, we did not let a goat bring a young daughter to milking time because it would cause disruption to the process of getting the milk. But with the changing of staff, and different operators’ preferences, sometimes these things are allowed.
Another mother takes her daughter to milking time, and we miss out!
In the YouTube.com video, we captured a mother and a young one. The sight has heartened many viewers. To be precise, as of May 18th, 2021, 70,000 views have clocked up on this one video alone! We also have another one, where the goat kid was allowed to drink from one side of the udder, but not the other. In this second video, it is worth noting, the young goat is even drinking from her own mother! You may wish to view this one too.
You may notice these two videos are from the Smith Family Soapmaker’s channel, Goat Milk Soap NZ, which is a #GoatWatch channel. We post videos of goats, their kids, and related scenery. We are currently posting every week. Some of the content is rather short, and over time we will produce longer content as well especially of mothers who want to take their daughter to milking time.

Sometimes we just have to whisper to the goats. We can’t help ourselves.
Insights from the secret life of a goat whisperer
Goat whisperer? Perhaps the genesis of this goat whisperer behaviour started all started when I found a sheep skull in the paddock at Pudding Hill camp, at Mt Somers. I’m not sure. But I do remember being on camp with some friends and we went for a walk in the farm area.
While on that walk I found a skull and kept it. I didn’t talk to it, but I did get attached to it. I loved it.
One of my friends, who, for now, shall remain nameless, thought other thoughts and said it was a very unusual choice, and I was not quite thinking right, etc, etc.
At that time we had no farm animals in my family
I wasn’t a goat whisperer until quite recently. I was living in Christchurch, and so there was no chance to whisper to any goats. But I did like to ride my bike over what was at the time, a cow and sheep grazing area, on the south side of Eastmans Wetland.
That was the stretch of Cashmere Road between Hoon Hay Valley Road, and Kennedy’s Bush Road. I used to enjoy calling out to the dairy cows along the roadside.
Well, I think they were milking cows, I didn’t know much about the difference between milking and dry stock back then.
We had no goats until after the year 2000!
It would be unusual to seek out the company of goats and whisper to them if you had no goats of your own, and didn’t work near, or visit them, I think.
Well, one day I went to Hanmer Springs with some people at work. My wife and I both went together and there was a goat there.
I thought it would be nice to say hello to this male goat.
Here are the 2020 Triplets in mid December 2020. In this video we go and talk to some goats after the milking session. Unlike cows in a milking shed, they don’t automatically file out to pasture.
