This is probably one of the biggest misconceptions about goats that exist. Even our daughters' beanie baby goat claims that it eats garbage and tin cans! Nothing could be further from the truth. Dairy goats have very discriminating eating habits and are quite particular about the cleanliness of their food. They are very curious creatures and will investigate, sniff and nibble new things, but they refuse anything that is dirty or distasteful.

ANSWER: It depends on whether you mean in SEALED cans or open cans. If open cans, there is not a problem. If closed cans, there are problems. First, it is difficult for the product to be leavened when it can't expand. Second, the vacuum in the can sets up conditions for botulism.

Goats are very particular about what they eat, they will not consume food of poor quality or food that is dirty or has been trampled on. They require the best quality hay, green stuffs and concentrates (oats, barley, soya, linseed, etc. generally sold as a goat mix). However goats will eat a wide range of food, preferring more fibrous food to lush grass. They will eat young thistles and brambles, as well as twigs, they also like bark from trees.

Yes - if you've got more than a few drops of water, you'll have to throw the bottle in the trash. Full or partially full bottles and cans create a hazard at the recycling plant of our waste service provider, WSI. Because of this, bottles and cans that are partially full are considered contaminated, and can spoil a whole load of recyclables. Water a thirsty plant, or share with a (clean) friend before you toss it out - you'll have no problem getting rid of the extra.

The BearGuard™ enclosure’s interior space allows the owner to place recyclable bags above the containers inside the shelter.

Yes. Paper labels on metal cans are fairly easy to remove. If labels on tin cans are not removed they will cause contamination during the recycling process, when the metal is melted down. Paper in the melting process can cause: flash fires in the furnace, produce impurities in the end product and pose a hazard to employees.

Your dog’s digestive system was designed to handle raw meat. After all, wild or zoo animals don’t eat cooked meat. We’ve been using raw meat for close to 20 years with fantastic results. Buy healthy selections of meat, always refrigerate or freeze, and follow recommended safe handling instructions on meat packaging. If you are still concerned, you can rinse meat in a solution of grapefruit seed extract or human-grade hydrogen peroxide mixed with water.

Goats are very affectionate and intelligent animals, and contrary to belief they don't eat anything and everything, they are quite fussy and want the best. During the run up to mating in the autumn, and from the time of housing, all our does are fed extra rations to ensure they have enough food to support their growing kids. This consists of home mixed 'cereal', containing oats, sugar beet, maize and some plant protein pellets. In addition, they are fed good quality hay from our own ground.

No. On garbage collection days, residents are asked to keep their refuse and recycling containers on their private property. Refuse or recycling containers placed in the street, which are then damaged by a plow or salt truck will not be replaced by the Village. The Village does not provide plowing or salting services on state or county roads that run through the Village. If you have questions or complaints about services on state or county roads, please see the chart in Street Maintenance:

That kind of fell through. We're really looking more at Dustin "Screech" Diamond. Or Morgan Freeman. It's really something of a toss-up.

No, labels do not need to be removed, but you do need to rinse the can, bottle and/or jar clean of all residue.

Goats milk is naturally ultra-moisturizing. Goats milk soap contains capric, caprylic and capronic acids and natural occurring triglycerides. Otherwise known as good fats. The result is a pH level that is good for healthy human hair and skin, while commercial soap can dry out the skin to the point at which it feels taut and itchy. The oil glands are forced to counteract, overproducing oils in an attempt to rebalance the pH of the skin.

Garbage collection is a heap-management strategy where a run-time component takes responsibility for managing the lifetime of the memory used by objects. This concept is not new to .NET - Java and many other languages/runtimes have used garbage collection for some time.

Computers can be put out with regular trash. They cannot be recycled because they contain harmful materials.

There have been many research studies done which confirm the need to augment our diets with nutritional supplements. Unless you are truly optimally healthy you'll probably find benefit from taking supplements which are of high quality and suited to your particular health needs. Supplements are not a "one size fits all" proposition. Your program should be tailored for you individually. At HealthNOW we design nutritional programs which address the root cause of your problem.

Cultures that eat a lot of soy typically have lower incidences of heart disease and many cancers than Americans. However, the problem with these types of comparisons, is that there are a lot of other differences in diet and lifestyle that could effect health risks. Soy foods, including tofu, are high in protein. Soy foods don't contain cholesterol and are low in saturated fat, although they can contain quite a bit of unsaturated fat.

Yes, termites actually eat wood. Using bacteria, protozoa and microbes that live inside their stomachs, they are able to digest cellulose, the main constituent of wood.

Yes. In many areas of Central and South America, armadillo meat is often used as part of an average diet. I have heard that some peoples of South America keep small varieties of armadillos as edible housepets. During the Depression, armadillos were often eaten by hungry people. They were called "Hoover hogs" by people angry with then-President Herbert Hoover's broken promise of a chicken in every pot. The meat is said to taste like fine-grained, high-quality pork.

There are many problems associated with tin plating. One of which is whiskering, like cadmium and zinc, thin needle-like crystals known as "whiskers" form within a period after plating that may vary from a few weeks to several years. A whisker may measure up to .0001" (2.5um) in diameter, and grow spontaneously to a length of 0.375" (10 mm). Conditions that tend to promote the growth of whiskers are compressive stresses and uniform temperatures for long periods of time.
