Title: Meals on wheels!

Been weeding and pruning in the garden, anything safe for goats I left in the wheelbarrow. Pumpkin and Pickle were very pleased  :)

I bet they loved the treat. Mine definitely prefer eating stuff up high rather than from the ground

I suspect they all are. I know something is really tasty if they'll eat it off the ground.

Yes, definitely. When people say that goats will eat anything it makes me laugh!

Mine would have either jumped in the wheelbarrow, then said 'i'm not eating that, I've trodden on it', or tipped the barrow over, trampled it, then said, 'i'm not eating that, I've stood on it'   ::)  LOL.
Love the names

The annoying time is when they jump in the wheelbarrow and tip the contents all over the ground. Won't eat it and you have to clean it all up. Usually after they've spread it around as far as it will go.
