Goats Finally get to eat sunflower garden!

The Goats favorite day each year is when I unlock the gate to the pen where we grow the sunflowers and let the herd feast! They spend all summer trying to reach the flowers over the fence and are very excited when they can finally get in and taste them! They all come running for the fun and everyone munches until the sunflowers are gone! A fun way to end each summer and celebrate the transition to fall and it's also good for the goat and the cheese maker! Sunflower seeds contain vitamin E, zinc, iron, and selenium and also add fiber and fat to the diet. They make goats’ coats shinier and increase the butterfat in their milk. We sometimes mix the seeds into our goats’ grain, but they like them best when they think they are being naughty and stealing them from the sunflower garden!
