Young calves are the same way. It is much better to give them just a bit. DH wants to put a week's worth in the trough......nope; they won't touch it after it becomes 'stale'. gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-25705033355184713952013-08-15T00:54:01.432-05:002013-08-15T00:54:01.432-05:00Could you toss some fruit or molasses or something...Could you toss some fruit or molasses or something in?

That has helped. I love the way they stand in the middle of their freshly pooped-on hay and scream that they're starving.

They worked against me constantly and I could not keep them in any fence, somehow they would escape and then damage what they could. It is so nice to be able to keep a one ton draft horse in a field with a single ribbon.

No, not ...I say let the recalcitrant poops starve.<br /><br />No, not really. I remember going through exactly the same thing with our prima donnas. Don't cha wonder what goes through their little pea brained heads? Why they do what they do? They have it so good. You're such a good goat mama, I know, but sometimes all you CAN do is say . . . um, uh, well, . . . naughty words. Or send all that rejected food to the poor little goats in Nepal.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-19796108976248996022013-08-14T07:27:04.300-05:002013-08-14T07:27:04.300-05:00You know the 5 second rule for people?
