Tammy: What were your three?

Lauva: My three…My three are a little bit different. Goats don’t eat tin cans.

Tammy: Well I know that people think that.

Lauva: Everybody, I mean almost without exception, whenever they walk in and they look at these little babies they’ll go, “What do they eat? Oh yeah we already know they eat tin cans. What else do they
0:30:00.6 eat?” No they don’t eat tin cans, but they get that from cartoons. When we were kids growing up, goats ate all the tin cans and the labels and everything. No. What goats actually do is mess with the label and eat the paper, they will do that, but they’re not going to eat tin cans. They don’t have top teeth in the front of their mouth, which is something that people don’t know. They have bottom teeth, but goats do not have top teeth nor do they ever get top teeth, so if you ever look at the top of them, they’re just gumless all around the top.

Tammy: Well that makes sense if you’re eating grass.

Lauva: Well but they have to…But see cows have top teeth and so do sheep.

Tammy: That’s true.

Lauva: But goats do not have top teeth. They do have molars in the back in the top and in the bottom, so they do have a set of molars. If you stick your fingers in their mouth and they chomp down on you, they can get you in the back, but those back molars are just for use for chewing their cud whenever they’re sitting their chewing. But whenever they eat grass and stuff, they have to bite down with their bottom teeth and kind of pull their head up because basically they’re ripping the grass off…
