We had a Christmas party! Here are some cookies we made. I didn't feel like typing the recopies over again because I already typed them on a different blog; so if you want the recopies you can find them at www.godsworldisgreatf.blogspot.com

Free Food for Goats

Sadie goes nuts over leaves. - she did this over and over as we through the leaves up into the air!!! It was hilarious. Almost human! almost!

We heard on the news that it was supposed to snow, -IN OCTOBER!!!- My first thought was -after the thought It's October!- was all the leaves! My sister, my mom and myself -and Sadie!- spent about an hour and a half raking up all the leaves for my goats. We put them into empty grain bags, trash bags, buckets and the wheel barrel. Hey if you've got goats and you've got leaves I would definitely suggest raking up all the leaves before they become no good. My goats love the leaves as much as the hay! Sadie LOVES leaves

Sadie tries to help^

Taking a brake!

Let's get raking !

goat grain : amount?

I've been doing some research for a book I'm writing on goats. I'm having trouble finding how much grain to feed a goat depending on it's size. all I can find is feeding the different breeds and feeding babies by it's size.
This has got me wondering how many people are searching for this. well i still haven't found the answer to my question, but I figured i could tell you all how much to feed the Nigerian Dwarves. I feed my goats 2 cups of pellet grain once a day. plus some supplements.
I have a two cup scoop. so you'd think that I'd feed my goats 3 scoops of grain right? Well, sort of. If my girls have been out side all day, eating plenty of grass, I only give them two and a half scoops (five cups as opposed to six). I feel that they don't need all that grain when they are not pregnant or producing milk- . All they do all day is eat and sleep! If they've been inside all day because of rain - or something of that sort - I give them the full 3 scoops because they haven't had grass and all that.
I will be feeding the 3 scoops every day when they are bred.
I thought this might help. If you have goats any way!

My sister and i made butter in a jar! We ground a carrot mixed it with milk and squeezed the juices ito the jar to add coloring, just like in Little House In The Big Woods It looked weird in the jar once it was done. YUCK!!! It looks nasty

Cracker Cube

I made a cracker cube! I stuck them together with peanut butter.
It's hollow inside. ><>

My Cockatiel Zack loves a veriety of food, different colors, textures,and tastes. Here is a list of food you can and can't feed your cockatiel.
To give your bird fruits and vegies the need to be peeled, washed, and rinsed several times. If they are mushy, have brown spots, or discolored the bird should not be given them. The cockatiels can have;

* lettuce (as an occasional treat)
* cooked yams
* apples
* noncoocked asparagus
* apricots
* beets
* bananas

* papaya
* turnips (greens)
* peaches
* yellow squash
* pears
* zucchini
* pineapple
* cucumbers (occasionaly)
* plums
* celery (occasionaly)
* mashed potatoes (with nothing added)
veggies can be lightly steamed.

They can also eat cooked pasta, cooked rice, whole wheat toast, and cooked cereals.
They can have certain dry cereals = shredded wheat, grape nuts, rice crispies, and plain cheerios. Cereals should be given only once in a while. Only 1 or 2 pieces at a time.
unsalted and unbuttered popcorn and animal crackers can be given as treats once in a while.
Your bird can also can have well cooked chicken( my bird realy likes it), well cooked turkey, fish, lean meats,cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs (the eggs can't have any salt or pepper).

DON'T give them;

* shell fish
* sugar
* no canned veggies
* tabacco
* greasy foods

* fruit seeds or pitts
* chocolate
* milk
* coffee or tea
* rhubarb
* alcohol
* leaves or stems from potatoes
* no moldy foods
* tomato

My cockatiel realy likes oatmeal, cheerios, and lettuce, I would recommend these.
Lettuce, grapes, and strawberries are all ok but they spoil fast so don't leave them in the cage for very long.
