PSA: Please do not put out dog feed for our livestock guardian dog.

Pictured is feed that was poured out from people other than myself for Bear.

I am on the job site every evening, overnight, and into the morning. The goats, Bear, and I all have our routines. These routines include feeding Bear, and he gets a specific feed that he is used to having every day. Our goats do not need additional feed outside of the brush they are clearing and the mineral I provide for them.

Providing additional feed for animals you don’t know (especially working animals) can often be more harmful than good. Some of our goats are dairy goats, and one of them is currently being milked daily, and any extra feed (including dog food that isn’t eaten by Bear) can impact her milk production. Goats in general have sensitive stomachs as well, and excess uneaten feed is feed they could find themselves eating.

You also don’t know if any of these animals have allergies or specific diets that need to be maintained for their own health and safety.

While I appreciate the thoughts and concerns, they are not necessary.

Bear is also a working livestock guardian dog. Trying to interact with him or the herd he is guarding can also be dangerous to you if he were to perceive you as a threat to the herd.

For the safety of all involved parties, please do not interact with our animals in any way, shape, or form.

Happy birthday to Merry and Pippin! These two were some of the first goats born at Bales Goats five years ago! They both still stick right with their dam, Scampers.
