LOL, not so much at Wally World (we kept the goats in the van for fear of escaping) but from people driving by and glancing and seeing a goat looking back at them!
The little buggars escaped their pasture free pen yesterday, and being sunday, I slept in until about 10:00. So they'd been out for who knows how long, but I didn't see them eat anything until about 2:00, and then it was only nibbles. I dont think they've ever had grass to eat before!
Put them up and watched them for about 1-2 hours just to make sure of no frothy bloat, and then checked again every hour or so. I think I was annoying them, but they had no problems, and were fine this morning.
They've also lost some fatness, so now I'm wondering if it was gas from all the rich grain and hay and no exercise?

B BredMom ; The grain is totaly un-necessary . Unless you are milking !! Fill them up on Dry Hay , then turn them out on pasture (Gradualy) This will prevent Bloat . I've had goats for years if you have question , E-mail me to ....
