If you look at these photos, you will see numerous holes in this muck pit. At first I thought a possum or raccoon had been digging it it for bugs. Then I saw the naked branches directly above the pit, certain proof the Clyde had stood on his hind legs to eat what he could reach. The goats love leaves off trees and will go to considerable lengths to nibble a few.
Clyde has taken to butting Bonnie away from the food trough so I’m forced to feed them separately now. Much calmer dinner time and much less gobbling up of the rations. Both eat slowly and peacefully.
Forgot to post these photos of the feeder. I added a rail to keep the goats from climbing into the feeder but it’s only partially effective. They still like to eat what’s in the back or top of a bale before going for the easily reaches food in the front. Don’t know exactly why that’s the case, but at least they aren’t throwing a third of a bale on the ground.
Flipping through my phone looking for an old photo and came across this one of Clyde. He can be a bit of an ass sometimes but he’s still one handsome billy goat.
