Look up...

As mentioned before, there is something else special about Coombs...
Any time it's mentioned people will say, "that's the place with the goats on the roof!"
And indeed there are...
Up there on the main roof of the market...
Living quite happily...
 King of the castle.
Like something out of Heidi...
These gals just hang out and graze and snooze and play all day...
 All of these pictures were taken from the outside patio area where people come to have lunch with the goats..
Later in the day they wander back into the shade to snooze away the evenings...
I would say it's a pretty good life for these goats...

Don't let Brownie, my Nubian, see this or I will never hear the end of it.
What a beautiful place.

the first photo, of the canvas umbrellas- while my computer was slowly loading it, when the photo was only halfway shown, i gasped cuz it really makes for quite the photo if the photo is cut in half left to right....

I would say its a great life for humans too.
close to here we have a goat farm / owned by a frenchman / can buy wonderful goats cheese there. the goats are kept in a concrete barn - fed through the fence - a mess. like yours better.
