My goats are smarter then me :/

So almost every morning before I milk I go out and sit on my back deck and eat my bowl of cereal and watch the girls browse. Well today I am out there happily eating my captain crunch and I hear a blood curdling scream . I sat my bowl down and take off running to where the screams are coming from. Get to Boo Boo and nothing is wrong with him. I check him over let him go and he runs towards the house, so start back to the deck. Round the house and see all three babies (BooBoo, Chime and Carma) all with their little heads shoved together drinking my milk and eating away my cereal . So no cereal for me today. While I milked today I thinking to myself how long have they planned this one out.

Rofl, you have some interesting goats. Better start checking around for an underground laboratory. I can hear it now,

BooBoo: "What are we going to do today guys?"

Chime: "The same thing we do everyday BooBoo."

Carma: "Try to take over the world."

That's what you get for not bringing them a bowl too. Your training is officially underway.

ROFL
What a great story!

Reminds me of my first kidding experience when I was determined to get that first kid to nurse within the first 30 minutes of birth. ROFL The dam actually put her head up against my chest and PUSHED ME AWAY! Well, duh! Didn't she know I was only trying to help? ROFL

Donna you might want to use a larger cereal bowl so all 3 kids can get their little mouths in it. ROFL .... Real nice cooperation on the part of your buck.

My goats have planned something like that before. One of them screams bloody murder and I run to check what's wrong open the sliding stall door and all 6 goats in the stall shove me out of the way and run to the feed bucket I was mixing and to the open bags. Stuff their heads in the bags and start eating. I started yelling at them. I originally thought the old doe had planned it, Then I saw the look on the 3 month old kid's face, you could see her thinking, "The first step in my plan to take over the farm and remove the dog from his leadership."
