That's all I need!

My goats have discovered that the creeks are low and they can slosh through the water and get under the fence - I've seen one yearling go in up to her belly!

I took this picture at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park. Notice the zoo's attempts to keep the goats out of the trees and how well they work:

OK, I don't have goats, but from reading on here I take it they are climbers. But are those photos for real with the goats in the trees?

That first photo reminded me of a video I found on YouTube, it was taken in Africa. I've no idea how they do it but this video I saw is for real. It's pretty impressive if anyone wants to look for it.(I forget how to post links)

How do you know when they're ripe! I need a tree like that so I can just go out and pick the ones I want.

DH showed that to me this am..so funny, it doesn't look real, but it is. Can you believe they use the seeds out of the goat berries to make oil??

That first picture dloesn't even seem possible, looks like someone stuck the goats all over that tree like the stickies that you can re-use over the background to make different pictures, etc.

I have heard of using argan oil in hair care products & make up but I don't want any of the oil for cooking that they make from the goat berries! Yuck!

Who says goats don't love browse?!?!?

Looks like the trees are ALL there is to eat actually.
