One of the things I find very entertaining about goats is that they are extremely hardy, much more so than many other kinds of livestock, and at the same time they love their comfort more than other kinds of livestock. The neighbor's cows might be out in the pouring rain and the horses will be hunkered against the wind instead of being in the barn, while meanwhile my goats poke their noses out of the barn, declare "I don't think so!" and would rather not browse than be in uncomfortable weather.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe it's a hunger thing. Maybe goats don't mind hunger, while the bigger livestock has no choice but to eat constantly? I don't think it's all hunger, because like I said, they'll go out in mud to eat, but they'll return to the barn to chew cud, something that implies a desire for comfort rather than something driven by necessity.<BR/><BR/>All I know is that our goats are little princesses, even the wethers.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531243633193697440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257204.post-47529069688271410692007-12-08T21:01:00.000-08:002007-12-08T21:01:00.000-08:00That's weird about the goats.
