Quick and dirty copy-paste, local news channel has a Livestream of goats eating.

Title:
LIVE STREAM: Goats devour brush on steep Santa Barbara slope

Link:

(Sent from KEYT)

My cousin runs a goat farm like that. A lot of brush near California roadways can't be cleared by people because the area is too steep and treacherous, but goats will eat almost anything and don't give a single gently caress.

Loving chairs more every day!

my work (in northern california) has a big ol flock of sheep come visit us during the summer to eat up the grass all around us, and they're pretty dang cute :kimchi:

we're not allowed to get anywhere near them though, and the sheepdogs make sure of that!!

The station does different random livestreams. Like, they know they just need a few seconds or minutes of video, but they have the equipment anyways so why not livestream? Maybe it's goats, or a graduation, or a ribbon cutting. This video is 24 minutes of driving around a Target parking lot.

quote:

Initially, Walmart denounced the action and the "illegal blockades" carried out by workers protesting. However, as the strike dragged on, bosses were forced back to the negotiating table.

On Monday night, union leader Juan Moreno announced the end of the strike as workers had won a 5.1 percent wage hike, and an agreement from the company that they would support retraining programs for those being made redundant.

✨sparkle and shine✨

a few months ago, a co-worker of mine had a brain aneurysm burst while she was at the gym, and she was rushed to the hospital. they did several hours of reportedly-invasive surgery to deal with a brain bleed and other things, and then she was in a coma. a few days later she came out of it and seemed lucid, but they’ve been watching closely.

yesterday her mother brought her by the office, in a wheelchair. she’s re-learning how to walk and dress and so forth, but the doctors say her recovery has been unbelievable. they now expect her to return to full function, and be able to continue working as a comptroller. (she was bantering with our accountant about the board deck for this week during her visit.) my girlfriend works in occupational therapy at a rehab hospital, with patients who are learning to adapt and re-learn after similar brain injuries, and she is blown away by the progress and outlook.

oh, and she’s pregnant. the baby is fine, and they’re having a girl this fall.

large predator cats are great because they do literally everything your housecat does. We used to make fun of my boi cat asleep with his legs all up in the air until we went to the zoo and saw a lioness doing literally the exact same thing.

don't be fooled. the feline family is not nearly as regal and dignified as people say.

My old boss had a couple of goats cause his wife really wanted to start making goats cheese or something. Apparently they loved her, but the boy goat was dead set on challenging him for dominance of the herd or whatever and he'd have to wrestle it every time he went into their area. He looked almost exactly like Bill Bailey if this helps with the visuals

4 goats can clear 16 acres well enough to not need to be mowed :stare:

how much is cleared vs forrest/brush/unmaintained? I'm dreaming of getting some goats(e) in my life once my wife and i find a suitable place and save up some money

yeah he wasn't just a poacher, he was the guy that facilitated rich dentists shooting the trophy animal they demanded for their wall

quote:

Botha fired at the rampaging pack but was caught by surprise when a fourth cow came in from the side and picked him up with her trunk.

One of the other hunters shot the animal, and it collapsed on top of Botha, killing him.

Botha, who leaves behind a wife and five kids, was known for taking wealthy American clients out to shoot for trophies, according to the Telegraph.

He specialized in hunting leopards and lions and was also an expert “houndsman” — which means he used big packs of dogs to drive deer and boar into hunters’ cross hairs, the paper said.

So he startled the pack, failed to see a FOURTH ELEPHANT that actually managed to catch him by surprise and pick him up, then another hunter shot that elephant, which killed the poacher
