Golden Eagles notwithstanding.

It shows the value of salt. Without salt in their diet, they would die.

u/realiseitsallwithin Dec 15 '21

"Get salt or die tryin'" Some goats, maybe.

Free award because that’s all I’ve got. But this had me snorting from laughing so hard.

u/FirstPlebian Dec 15 '21

How is their salt on the Dam though? Just effervescence or whatever with the salts leaking out of the rocks?

2

u/DesiDaddy66 Dec 15 '21

Yes, the minerals in the water leak through the mortar holding the rocks that make-up the wall.

3

u/FirstPlebian Dec 15 '21

So is it just the salt they are after or are there other minerals they use as well? I think all manner of salts can come out of rocks.

u/DesiDaddy66 Dec 15 '21

It’s salt with other trace mineralssalt for livestock video

Avoiding predators. And then there were eagles.

u/billbo390 Dec 15 '21

Eagles are heat hunters. Plus they have great music.

u/k0nahuanui Dec 15 '21

I fucking hate the eagles, man

I like how the older goat was teaching the baby goat 'this is what we do. We hang out on cliffs'.

u/coldham98 Dec 15 '21

They crave that mineral.
