New Hay Feeder!

[DownUnder Gal]

Nanno, the goat village pictured is also at the top of a hill so we get strong winds too (up to 110km/hr - not sure if you would classify that as strong). I think the hay feeders with rooves weigh at least 100lbs. My goats can push them around a bit but they can't push them over, and the wind has never been a problem.

Thank you for your kind words about the goats. The British Alpine came to me 9 months ago with a wonderfully sleek coat so he was well looked after and/or is blessed with good genetics. Atticus, on the other hand, has suffered numerous health issues; we got him at 8 weeks and we were his 4th owners which I think is very sad. He had all sorts of issues as a kid and then he came good. Then about 6 months ago his coat went south - it had the classic singed, sunburnt look that is typical of copper deficiency. Although that wasn't the problem it took 6 months to work out what the issue was - perhaps a topic for another thread. Anyway, he seems very well now at 4 years of age and yes, he's huge. Marley, the long-haired goat on the right is 120lbs and you can see how much bigger Atticus is! Suffice to say he's the herd boss.
