What is in the Bucket?

The publicist came into the pen with her bucket full of minerals.
All of us goats knew exactly what she was bringing.
We were excited!
We like our minerals.

Some of us AbbyGoat can't wait until the minerals are in their bin.
But little Bernadette still hasn't figured this out yet.
She sees the other goats going gaga for the bucket and of course she wants some too.

She just doesn't know what it is she wants!

So she peaks in.
She figures it MUST be good if all of us want some.

Just WHAT is this stuff?

It looks interesting.
It smells interesting.

She maaas, "I need to get a closer look."
Well, Bernadette?
Is that close enough?

She is one silly little goat!

She was soon eating her minerals out of the mineral bin with every other goat.
But she was still interested in the bucket.

I think she wanted to take a nap in there.
Or to kick it.
Or butt it.
Or something.
Silly Bernadette!

Brewster and His Minerals

The publicist brought out the bucket of minerals the other day.
Oooooh, minerals!
We love minerals.


Little Brewster wasn't quite sure what all the fuss was about.
And Luke the goat was not being nice.
HE WOULD NOT SHARE!


So the publicist brought little Brewster outside of the pen to get his first taste of yummy minerals.

I would say he liked them.

In fact, the publicist had a hard time getting him to stop eating them!
This is good because we goats need to eat minerals to stay healthy.

I think Brewster is going to stay VERY healthy, don't you?
The publicist went back in the buck pen and added more minerals to the bucket so there would be plenty for both bucks.
That way when Luke had his fill there would be enough for Brewster to have more.

I would say he would be going back for seconds....

AbbyDay - I Love My Life

It's Friday so it's me, Abby. I want to say that I LOVE my life here on the Farm. I mean what is there not to love? I have a beautiful view when I go grazing...

I have lots of great grass and tasty weeds to eat. If you ask me there is not much better than grass and tasty weeds; except for grain! In the immortal words of Daisy the Curly Cat - nom, nom, nom. She is one smart cat! I am not like Pricilla, I don't butt cats. Much.

I get to eat lots of delicious minerals. Mmmmmm! I love minerals. I am teaching Harry to love them too.

I do get grain, of course, but not too much.

I even get to hop on the hay pile now and then - just don't tell the publicist!

And the other day I introduced Harry to the wood pile. You remember how much we all love the wood pile around here.

You will learn of Harry's fun in wood pile tomorrow!

Mmmmmmminerals

You will recall that we goats eat minerals. They are good for us and provide us with nutrients we don't get with our food. You will also recall that we have a mineral bucket and that sometimes that bucket is not always used for its intended purpose. Right now the mineral bucket is helping to block entrance to the chicken tractor so the chickens can get in and out but the little goats can't. So I guess it is a multi purpose bucket! Since we still need our minerals the publicist has been putting them in a feed bin for us. Mmmmm, I love minerals and so apparently does baby Harry. He has discovered just how good minerals can be. Here he steps up and gives a sniff when he sees his nanny, Abby having some

He figures they must be good if she is eating so much of them and takes a taste

Oooh, they ARE good!

He gets so excited about these new yummy things he knocks the feeding bin right off the fencing! Silly goat!

The publicist had to come in and fill up the bin again and put it back so the rest of us could have a taste.

Kevin isn't going to be out done by little Harry. He shares some tasty minerals with me

But then Jillian decides she is going to fight for the minerals. They are hers, all hers!

But things settled down and the biggest goat and the littlest goat could enjoy the minerals together ...

...which is how it should be!
