Goatucation: Can You be Buddies with Your Buck, Part II

Last week I showed you that the publicist and Luke get along very well. 

 
This led to a number of questions that I thought I would answer for you today. But first I am going to post a photo of my little studmuffin because it makes me happy to do so.

He is a cutie, isn't he? Even when he is expressing his opinion of Matthew the goat.

Daisy asked if some buck are a little bit mean - yes some buck surely are. Michael the goat was a little bit mean to the publicist and that is why he no longer on the Farm. He charged at her and flipped her so that she landed flat on her stomach. Then he stomped on her. This was not nice at all.

Carolyn asked if the publicist had to burn her sweater due to buck smell - no mostly because Luke isn't in rut right now. He doesn't stink so much. Of course I love his smell but I know you humans can find it offensive.

jaz wanted to know what makes the "buck smell." Well I will try and be delicate here. When bucks want to attract us does they well, urinate on themselves. All over their legs and faces. After doing this several times a day for weeks at a time....do I need say more?

So I hope this helps answer you questions about the love of my life. He is a very good buck and very nice to the publicist. Even with his big horns he has never tried to but her or hurt her.


Happy President's Day to all of my human friends in the USA.

Goatucation: Can You Be Friends with Your Buck

As you know my little studmuffin is the chief buck on the Farm. He has been here for a long time. Some people have asked if a human can be buddies with a buck goat. I went directly to  the publicist for the answer to this Goatucation question because, well, she is a human!

She said that she can't speak for all bucks but she is very friendly with my little studmuffin. It could be because he came to the Farm when he was just a kid goat. He was only two months old and the publicist has been working with him for a long time.

Wasn't he a cute little buckling? I knew from the start that he was going to be the love of my life....

He grew up to be the gorgeous buck he is today. Oh hi there my love!

As you can see the publicist gets very close to my little studmuffin without any problems.

He loves to eat apples just like me!

He especially loves to be scratched by his eyes. He likes this even more than being scratched by his tail.

He even tells the publicist secrets. I hope he was talking about ME!

So you can see that some bucks are perfect gentlebucks around humans.

An Ode to the Love of My Life

There he stands in the cold of the morning. 
Just waiting at the barn door.

Then he runs down to his pen, little tail waggin'.
The perfect buck goat for sure!

He stops by the doe pen to see what we are doing.
I have warned off the girls, He is all mine now hear it.

So he goes to his pen to spend his day alone.
Don't worry my love, I am with you in spirit.

He checks out his hay, is he ready to munch?
Could there be somthing better, something with crunch?

Of course! He forgot! He runs to his grain. 
He eats it all up. Off to the hay - he's in the zone.

I love my little Luke I wish I could be with him.
But soon I will have a kid of his all of my own. (Keep your hooves crossed)

(Isn't he just the handsomest?!)

I hope you liked my little poem today. I have been thinking about my studmuffin and just had to share.

Tomorrow: I FINALLY tell you where Mallory and Luke were after Jillian and I ended our battle over where to go. (The publicist messed up my schedule again. Bad publicist)
