Carla D-Great new adventures and an Amazing Life

[Carla D]

My little guys were looking pretty good this morning. They were very eager to get their bottles tonight. All but three drank their entire bottle. The three that didn’t are my typical lighter drinkers. I did discover something interesting tonight. They have been sifting through their mixture of pellets. They are only eating the calf manna pellets and pushing the other two pellets out of their way. I think they have been doing that for at least a week now.

Goat kefir is supposed to be a great immune booster.....so another reason for having goats? Of course, you'd need dairy goats. if you decide to make it yourself.

Personally I'm a sheep hugger, but a goat cwtsch (Welsh word which encompasses hugging, kissing , caressing etc) is VERY nice.

I haven't read all of this post, but have you tried CBD oil for chronic pain? You'll need the higher strengths to be effective (over 10%) and it's a bit pricey over here, but many folk with chronic pain say it helps a lot. Chronic pain is such a complex phenomenon....both the physical aspects and the psychological overlay. CBD definitely affects the pathways between perception and reaction to pain in the brain. You're probably aware, but CBD oil is totally legal, contains minimal THC, so won't make you high.

As to when to stop? When you feel the time is right, and not because other folk think so/you have reached some 'magic figure' age/you're becoming an embarrassment to your children (I was going to say 'kids', but you will NEVER be an embarrassment to your goats).

lots of animals (incl humans) do that.
I still push beets and brussels sprouts out of the way. (I push the nasty brussels sprouts clean out the window)

Just like their kid human counterparts, they only want the good stuff!

And the good news? It doesn't stop when they're adults! They STILL push everything out of the bowl to get the best stuff first.

nasty brussels sprouts

Nasty?....I love them, grow them in my garden, eat them hot, cold and shredded raw.

My kitchen counter right now......just off the garden...yum

Good morning @Sheepshape ,
I’ve never heard of goat kefir. I’ll have to look that up. That might be a really thing to be giving my little guys.

I sure do love hugging, kissing, cuddling, caressing my little goats. I think baby goats were made for that reason, probably sheep as well.

It’s interesting you suggested hemp/CBD oil. I have been taking it for about three months now. It is a really big help, if I remember to take it. It also helps me mellow out, and clears my thoughts. I

goat kefir.

It's a sort of fermented goat milk product....different bacterial culture from yoghourt, but a similar principal. You drink the kefir once or twice a day ( heck it's nasty in my opinion, but holding the nose helps!). You don't have to have the sprouts, though.

Kids and lambs were meant to be hugged....no doubt at all in my mind. With a nice, tame mum, sitting in the pen and petting them at the same time is really rewarding.

CBD is greatly underrated in my opinion....again not the nicest taste, but a little bitterness never hurt anyone. I wonder if sniffer dogs react to it, or are they detectingTHC ?

Good luck with your 'new food'

Why would you even put them on your plate or in your house in the first place?
