Our neighbor's next to us, own Bush Hog, the goat. The people who live across the street from them have several acres also. They raise goats and cows. It's so much fun to go over there and feed all the goats bread. The babies are the cutest little " kids" ever! They like to climb on top of some old tree stumps that Billy has out there for them to play on. A year ago when Chuck and I were up there, we watched "twins " being born in the field. Sadly to say, one of the twins died the next day. Billy always has a new batch of goats to entertain us when we go over to visit. This Spring, he sent us home with lots of goodies from his garden. ...Plums, cabbage, banana peppers and corn on the cob. I would have to say, "Alabamians" sure are "sharing people".

Tbis reminds me of a story from a former acquaintance (an employee of ex-husband). Bush Hog is a good name for the billy goat. This gentleman bought about a hundred acres between Otter Creek and Cedar Key (for a hunting camp and maybe range-cattle) and wanted to have it bushhogged. He got a quote of several thousands of dollars. Instead, he went out and bought a small herd (maybe 30) of goats and let them loose on the fenced land. In one year, they had cleared the underbrush up to 6 feet high in the trees. And then we had a barbecue.
