I still like the fainting goat video from the "Two Kenyan Guys" episodes on Nat Geo...

This is a white man crazy goat.

The bad thing about fainting goats is that if you have a sod roof ... they might get hurt.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to take a bunch of pictures later. At the school til 7pm, then my turn bottle feeding the goats, barn chores, to the gym for an hour, eventually dinner, and maybe pictures in there somewhere? Til then, a video that my father put together for us: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mmAUZ4_6Po
and two youtube clips of babies playing from a couple years ago:

How I've mowed the lawn for the last two years: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFm-PfK6nmo
(seriously - except for the very front by the road, I haven't needed to use the lawnmower.)

all your animals look so happy - would love more pics/vids

It is eventually lethal for cats.

I guess force powers are lethal over time?

Must be some kind of radiation.

Do goats cut grass and shrubs with their teeth or do they pull it out by the roots?

 

[sdifox]

Do goats cut grass and shrubs with their teeth or do they pull it out by the roots?

I think they just chew.

 

[Rubycon]

I think they just chew.

They have to get it IN their mouth to chew, so the question remains - do they grip, pull out the roots or sheer it off aka lawnmower? :biggrin:

 

[AMCRambler]

Got any farting goats?

They, and any grazing animal for that matter, do not pullout the roots.. as they want the grass to grow back.

No pics? We got goat'd.

"Baby goats"

[BladeVenom]

You're too late. They've already been eaten.

Kidding season started Mar 1 with the first (surprise that there was only one) kid. Then triplet bucklings 2 days later; very small. One was stillborn, one of the others was ignored by the mom. So, bottle baby #1. I woke up early Sunday morning when my wife thought she was being funny. The dog, cat, and baby goat were all playing chase... on my back. Then, triplet baby girls today (doelings) and we brought the inside baby goat total up to 3.

I haven't gotten around to pictures yet... interest in pics this year? (If so, I'll update the OP.)

What chemicals are you feeding your goats to get so many triplets?

Goats do bite much lower than say cows though, so it's harder for the grass to grow back for areas with goats grazing than cows.

OP, from my games of Agricola, I know you're only allowed one animal in the house. You're cheating

I would like to see a movie about dogs chasing cats chasing baby goats chasing dogs.

I'll get around to it... I've just been very busy this spring. And, with an hour spent in the morning bottle feeding baby goats, then an hour when I get home, and an hour later at night (which 2 weeks ago became a twice a day activity, and as of yesterday, a once a day activity) - that's a lot of time *eaten* up. (Pun intended.)

Then there's catching bees, falling off a ladder in the process.. took out all the old apple trees in my back yard, pushed them over with the tractor, climbed into the bucket of the tractor and tied a rope up high in a tree to pull it over & away from a fence, picked up half a tree that I snapped off, dumped it, didn't notice I the bucket of the tractor didn't latch, lifted the bucket wayyyy up in the air, climbed up to the bucket, stepped in, and was left dangling head first by my leg that got stuck. (Lucky I didn't hurt myself... badly. Those sorts of things.
