Down in the Valley

Well, it's not really a valley but a goat can pretend, can't she? The publicist and male person have a very nice piece of land for our Farm. It is flat on top, with a steep bank down to the river. There is also a bit of a gully between their Farm and the next lot. We always go down into the gully as part of our daily graze. I call it The Ravine because it sounds so much more intriguing than a plain old gully. Right now there are lots of tasty bushes and weeds and grasses down there to eat. You can see Jillian is having a good munch on one right here


I think she is really enjoying herself. Well, she is eating for two!


Mallory looks a bit jealous and seems to want a taste of Jillian's tree. Hmmm, I will bet a little goat fight ensued.


Is that a little white goat I spy?


Kevin and Harry love to go exploring. I think they spend more time running around than they do grazing. But kids will be kids.


After much eating of delicious leaves it was time to head back up the hill. I love our view!


Of course we stop for for some grazing along the way.


Little Harry seems to like to play hide and seek.


All in all a very nice way to spend our afternoons. I hope you liked seeing how we spend some of our time.

Tomorrow is Wordless Wednesday

Kid of the Hill

The big goats are not the only creatures on the Farm that enjoy the weeds up on the Hill. The little kids like to go up there too. I don't blame them! As I showed you yesterday there are lots of yummy knapweeds up there and boy are they delicious. Little Harry and Kevin did their fare share of munching.


Kevin loves to eat. But sometimes it is just nice to stop and enjoy the view.



But then some serious munching must be done.



Harry just tries to not get lost in the weeds.



He is still small you know.



We have been having a fair bit of rain lately but today when we were heading up to the barn for the night we saw this.



The publicist said it's been a long time since she saw the complete arc of a rainbow. It was very vibrant in person.

Tune in tomorrow for our next Goatucation post!

The Hill

As Abby told you yesterday there is a hill behind the male person's truck. We love to go up there and eat the weeds. The knapweed is in bloom now and it is especially tasty. Knapweed is considered a noxious weed here in Montana; it is choking out the life of our native plants. It is good that we goats love to eat it and destroy it.

I love to eat the little flowers - I will even stretch to grab one.

Wait, are there goats stealth grazing on the hill?


Mallory really concentrates on her grazing...nom, nom, nom.


Jillian seems to be showing Kevin the way. Isn't that nice?


Tomorrow I will show you how the little goats enjoyed the Hill!

Don't forget my soap sale! Just buy a Harry the CowGoat Soap and your entire order will be 15% off!!!
