Merlin the Goat sounds in on Super Bowl commercial

Merlin the goat follows me around the farm during morning chores this morning. I can almost hear his thoughts:

"Hay? Hay!?? You are feeding us hay? I heard about that Super Bowl commercial last night. Where are MY nacho chips? Don't walk away from me, farmer lady!"

In case you didn't see the Doritos Goat commercial, here is a link to YouTube.  I myself didn't watch the Super Bowl, but saw some great commercials through friends' recommendations. My sons especially LOVED this commercial.  Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d8ZDSyFS2g .

It is a joke here at the farm that our goats NEVER sleep.  And they really do eat constantly.  And as I mentioned in a posting a few weeks ago here on this blog, I have been stalked by a goat before (he was in rut, so rather than stalking me for Doritos, he was stalking me for... well, me!).  Whoever put this commercial together really knew goats!

Getting into goats... fencing installation in progress

Installing new fencing today at Wishful Acres Farm. After much deliberation, we decided to increase the size of our goat herd this upcoming fall. Many of you have seen the few blog postings & pictures here relating to the 2 male goats we adopted as bottle-fed babies last March. We all enjoyed the goats so much we decided to make them a permanent fixture on our farm. We hope to bring about 10 females to our farm soon!

For now, only a small area will be fenced. We hope to gradually increase it, and by next summer we should have a full acre or two of ground fenced in. Including a good portion of our overgrown, timber, shrubby land... goats love that type of land!
