Small Ag vs Govt

We know firsthand because we’re the ones producing it so it can arrive on the shelves of your local... »
Singing Goat Puppet
Another funny video for your Tuesday; this one a singing goat puppet from the Rabid Librarian. We have no idea what the goat is singing but the dog is rather disturbed. »
Buy a Mower
Again and again I read about well meaning people saying, “If you get a goat, you won’t have to mow your lawn”. Here’s a news flash for you: the goats won’t mow your grass. Goats browse. They aren’t cattle or sheep, they don’t graze and they won’t vacuum up all that pesky grass in your... »

We came across a news video of a couple of goats living at a cafe in the middle of Tokyo. Now that’s something you don’t see every day. Sadly we don’t speak Japanese but the goats are pretty cute and everyone seems quite enamored of them. It also refers to a blog being kept by... »
Bucky Behavior
I’m still seeing press about Adrien Brody and his gay goats and I can’t keep quiet a minute longer. Have we become so citified that we’ve forgotten that one of the primary motivators in nature is the desire to procreate?

Fainters Not Always Funny

Chatting With Fredo
If there’s one thing you can count on, it’s that goat people love to talk about their goats. Unlike many cattle ranchers or poultry raisers, get a goat herder on the topic and you’d better pack a lunch. Goat folks never run out of things to say about their herd. Or your herd. Or... »
Can’t Keep Her In
