What Goats Like to Eat
The answer--besides everything--is organic. I was shocked to find that the goats shunned conventionally grown produce, even things they love like cabbage and carrot peels. I discovered this because it is between growing seasons at the farm and we are buying more conventionally grown produce at the local grocery store. I thought that maybe my goats were just picky, but when I happened to go to the health food store and stocked up on organic produce they chowed down. Now, don't believe for one moment that if I left the conventionally grown bits out for them they wouldn't eventually eat it. It's just they prefer organic. Don't we all.

The Latest Excuse
I've welcomed our goat herd to the back yard. Blogging has once again gone by the wayside. From left to right are: Faith, Zeus, Diva, and the tiny leg just visible is Bella. Diva is working hard at being herd queen and gives Bella a very hard time. Zeus has decided he is not going to have any of that and comes to Bella's rescue. Faith goes with whomever is winning. So goes my lunch hour.
