Feeding Frenzy II

Every morning is always entertaining in its own way. All of the animals, with their own "personality," are very eager to get breakfast. The dogs are barking and "attacking" each other, the cats are running me over in their excitement to get a little bit of canned food, the horses whinney as soon as I step outside and then commence to running, bucking , rearing and squealing and the goats......get "stiff"(they're fainting goats) and then run around after they relax.
The goats have a pecking order too but the order is constantly tested. They butt heads like they are "big goats" and like to play "king of the platform". They are quite the little characters.

This here is Sysco. He's the boss goat and don't you forget it!
This here is sweet, "little" Isaac. He just wants to be loved.

Sysco takes care of Sysco and when there is food around, nothing else matters.


Here is shy little Liberty. Once you catch him, he's a nice goat too but he just hasn't quite realized that you are not out to "eat" him until after you have caught him. I'm convinced its a game with him.

Liberty again-he won't eat until I'm gone-doesn't like an audience.




The goat in the front that is about half/half black and white is Justice, Liberty's brother, and he doesn't want anything to do with anybody. He is an extremely shy goat.
Did you know that goats develop dread-locks in the spring? I will show you this here soon.
