Thanks for the vid, it was neat! I didn't like the sound effects too much though, LOL. Wish I could free-range my goats like that...you would think the goats would come home at milking time, though!

That was cool! Reminded me of elementary school days. Thanks for sharing.

I loved the video. I smiled at some things that I noticed and they mentioned. Most of the goats have horns, they wear collars when turned out into the woods, saw some barbed wired, and he, God forbid, feeds molasses! Just throw in some soy and corn and I'm sure some folks who watch it would have to take to their beds for a day from the trauma! But those goats sure do look happy and healthy!

Parrotman, I noticed all that too. And did you see they use salt/mineral blocks instead of loose. LOL. I think they were still using those old movies in my school when I went (am 39 yrs) cuz I remember the voice and style too.

When I wrote that I thought to myself, I forgot something and then you reminded me...the salt block!!! I'm a lot older than you so I have an excuse!!!
I've got 20 years on you and the voice in the film was around when I went to grade school. That I do remember.

Great! I also know that guy's voice from my childhood. What a wonderful way for children to grow up...proud of what they accomplish and living in the country.

I thought it was fun to watch. The goats look healthy. Kids look like they are having a good life. In the start it said they began with dairy cows but found out they were making more money off the goats!

I want that life. *le sigh*

I think that guy narrated EVERYTHING from my childhood...and the generation before...and the one before that...

Wow. Makes me wistful to watch that...

As for the molasses, soy, and corn comment: I would have no issue feeding myself or my animals those things from the 50's, before all the Franken-food.
