A neighbor down the street had the bamboo in her backyard cut and put on the curb.
So Don and I drove the truck down there and got a load for the goats.

They love the leaves. It's much better for my bucks than goat pellets. In fact, the veterinarian told me not to feed the bucks pellets, when Billy Shakespeare developed Urinary Calculi. Here is a wonderful article on Urinary Calculi. http://www.tennesseemeatgoats.com/articles2/urinarycalculi06.html I almost lost BS. I feed him hay and oats now; instead of the pellets many people feed their show goats.

The pile of bamboo will likely still be there until Tuesday, so we may go back for some more free food for the goats. It would be great to just let them go down there and eat, but I know that is not a good idea. My neighbors are very good about my urban farm, mostly because they can't see it.

ReplyDeleteI honey's kid. Sure looks like mama I like this best still
ReplyDeleteThe things I learn on the internet! I did not know goats like that stuff!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great story of recycling and keeping the goats happy at the same time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
You live in a different (and wondrous) world, Charlotte. I struggle to imagine the joys, and tribulations, of your urban farm.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a wonderful meal for the goats. It's likely the bamboo will come back for the neighbor. I think it's hard to get rid of. Your goats may have more food coming.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet the goats were happy for the treat! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteNow that was just plain smart!
ReplyDeleteHey this is great. Nothing like somethig after a little work.
ReplyDeleteIf they leave the bamboo canes, you will have bamboo for staking plants.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting that the goats eat Bamboo! My neighbor also had a lot of it I will have to ask him if I can cut some! I have two Nigerian Dwarf goats and one Nubian. Love my goats!
