Seriously! How could you resist that smile? Mae and her naughty goat herd mates are constantly sporting that shit eatin grin. Goats smile alot. I'm not sure if its because they are always happy, or if they enjoy the hijinks's they are always getting into? I'm sure its a mixture of the two really. Goats seem unfazed by the daily grind so to speak. They are a great animal to use as a comparison to the positive way of thinking about life. Eating grain is definitely like meditating for them....at least they seem the most ZEN while they are chowing down the sweet feed. As long as they have green grass, scrubby shrubs and sunny days....they continue to smile....Even on the rainy ones, I can get a smile for a salted peanut. We named the farm simply for the goats....they have helped us from the very beginning of this journey. They provide us with an incredible fresh product...which more people need to be enjoying by the way.....They provide us with companionship and friendship...They are definitely confidants. They are warm bodies to lay your head against while milking in the dead of winter....I could go on and on...They are lovely animals! So that's why we named the farm Smiling Goat Farm!
