They snarf. They snort. They burp. Pip and Caper munch and crunch green beans.

Thank you for my 1st giggle of the morning! They sure do have cute faces.
I need a goat! They are characters!!!! Bet the town would love that, we’re not supposed to have the 4 girls we have….Maybe I should just move, lol
If only we could get human ‘kids’ to eat their veggies like that!
Very cute. I love to listen to my goats chew! I also love the feel of thier little mouths on my hands.
It’s hilarious that their mouths move so fast!
Ohhhhhhhhhh…………..I need goats in my yard!
I agree, those guys are too cute! Thanks for sharing the video.
I should add: We have San Clemente goats nearby and once considered adopting a few. On our way to our newly purchased farm we passed this place with lots of goats running around, stopped to look, and the owner was very kind and informative. I’m not sure it’s proper to post a link on someone’s blog, but the farm is in Halfway VA. It looks like they are only sold now.
Adopting more animals…such a responsibility. We don’t even have a DOG yet! A few people who eat goat meat have suggested we farm goats here – it’s perfect for that I guess, and in my area there is a market for it, but I can’t raise an animal for meat. I don’t have the fortitude for the slaughter. So for now only eggs. And groundhogs if they count!
My experience with groundhogs is that they are mean AND stupid. Luckily, my dog doesn’t allow then anywhere near. So, I’d have goats if I were you. Don’t you need a couple of brush and bramble cleaner-uppers? So useful!
Terry, what are your experiences with groundhogs? Are they dangerous? I might have to deal with some groundhogs next summer…
A groundhog (woodchucks here in New England) can mow down an entire garden in a hour. They dig burrows near the edges of fields that make dangerous holes. They have terrible tempers, and are so stupid they don’t know to back down! Years ago I had a fenced backyard and one by one a family of woodchucks burrowed in, challenged my dog (teeth bared, the woodchucks, not the dog!) My dog killed each one in turn. Full daylight. Why they did that, I don’t know. Why, after the first one got killed, they kept coming, I don’t know, except the grass was nice and green.
If you don’t leash them (while they are eating the brambles) do they run away?
Oh, they have to be fenced. And you don’t want to tether, as goats get tangled up easily. Right now I’m going across the street, cutting brambles and carrying them back. What I do for those boys!
OK, thanks!
That was so cute.. Of course they like their green beans & many other veggies too. They gobbled them up – yummy. I heard one sneeze. I think that’s from the hay getting in their nose. Very nice, Terry. Thank you.
Such handsome boys…and so much fun!
Where is the ‘Like’ button?! So excellent!
The boys are so cute. I had a goat when I was a teen and he was so much fun. Just this morning I was thinking it would be fun to have a couple of goats again but we don’t have the room for them. So I’ll just have to watch yours for now.
Happy to share them. They have enough joie de vivre for everyone!
Great sign and so appropriate. I like it and where it is. Candy looks like she joined the line too but has other motives than her feathered friends. I agree with you on passing on the Gentlemen’s sign. You’ll find something that is right for them. What is on Caper’s nose? Is that hay residue?
Caper had just eaten a green tomato.

I’ve kept a backyard flock for two decades and I’ve spent years researching chicken care and observing hens. I blogged about my life with chickens and what I’ve learned here for ten years. If you’re looking for advice about a specific issue, you’ll likely find the answer in an FAQ or by doing a blog archive search.
