The Boys Graze Too!

We does were not the only goats that got to get out and graze.
Oh no!
The publicist let the boys out to taste that first grass of Spring.


They were so happy to be free of their pen.

Buster Brown just enjoyed the warm sunshine.

He munched away.
Mmmm, that grass is good!

Luke ate grass for a bit but he had other things on his mind for his first day of freedom.

TREES!

Nommy good!
He showed Buster Brown how to munch on trees.
Or how to butt them. One never knows with the bucks now does one?

He didn't care if the tree was big or small. He went after it!
Then he went a little crazy!
He went on a long goat dance run of joy!

Buster Brown could hardly believe his eyes.

What was the silly Luke up to?
Uh-oh!

He was up to attacking Buster Brown!
Silly boys!
Fortunately it was all in good fun and they went back to munching.

I guess they had a lot of energy to expend.
Silly, silly bucks!


The publicist has EXCITING news! She is getting a new VIDEO camera! So there will soon be Happy Goat movies again.
Hooray!

Fighting or Playing?

I was asked about the bucks. About their head butting. I know it looks rather rough and as if they are really attacking each other but they are playing. At least most of the times they are. How do I know, you ask? Well, if you could see video instead of stills you would see their tails wagging a mile a minute. Add that to the fact that they cannot wait to get together to bang heads and you just know they are having a good time.

The only time it gets serious is when they are trying to attract the uh, attention of one of us girls. When a buck thinks a doe is interested in having a, let's call it a goat getaway, he will get rather, uhm, happy. That's the word. Happy. If more than one buck is around when a doe wants a goat getaway the boys will sometimes try to show the doe who has the bigger horns. So to say. THEN their head butting can get a bit more serious. The publicist doesn't let the boys out to play at head butting when Abby or I am looking for a goat getaway.

They are fun to watch when they get going though. The publicist is going to have to learn how to make the video part of her camera works. One of our readers has told her about something called an instruction manual. She is going to investigate this and see what she can learn. I am sure you would like to see video of the boys butting heads. But if I know the publicist I wouldn't hold your breath.

I hope this has answered any questions that you might have about the boys and their head butting sessions. They do eventually calm down and then go about munching on their hay together as peaceful as can be. Silly bucks!
