Goats challenge mowing grass! (Day 3 and 4)
We held an event where you can observe the goats, Gen-kun and Kai-kun, who are active in Genkaida Park. We moved to an area with a bench on the east side of the Morinodai Rainwater Reservoir and publicized the local community about "goat weeding". I was planning to see a goat with a strong appetite to chew the grass, but the goats seemed tired and did not have much appetite due to the heat exceeding 30 ° C.

Day 3 (first day of the event)
For heat exceeding 30°C
Many people came from the morning. The children who saw the goat up close observed me very happily.
Move from the west area to the east area
Gen-kun, who doesn't come out of the shade due to too much heat
During the hot weather, many visitors came.
Gen-kun uses rock salt (mine salt) and supplies mineral.
First of all, you should eat your favorite kuzu leaves
Day 4 (the last day of the event)
From the first day, the sun often hides in the clouds, making it easy to spend.
I ate a lot of grass from the first day, probably because of the lower temperature than yesterday. Gen-kun and Kai-kun's favorite plant is the leaves of Kuzu. A lot of kuzu is also thriving in this eastern area. According to the director of Genkaida Park of the designated manager "Green and Community Group", he likes the legume family plant. The next thing I often ate was white oak leaves. I was eating the white oak with acorns. However, I want you to eat as mowing, I don't really eat pampas grass. It seems that the rice plant will hand at the last end of their favorite food.
Between the corner and the corner, my feet seemed to be itching without reaching, and I could observe how they rubbed on a cherry tree. You need to be careful about the trees that are planted.
When the goat drank water, instead of sticking out his tongue and licking, he had his mouth and drinking it.
Kai-kun is staring at the favourite leaves in front of me.
I'm full of stomach and sleepy.

2-day mowing results
(East area) Before weeding goats where kudzu and pampas grass grow.
(East area) After weeding goats with little kudzu.
The eastern area, which can be observed closer, seems to have a short period of 2 days. The visible results are difficult to read from the image, but the leaves of the kuzu are considerably reduced. If you could stay in the goat for a longer time, all the grass would be gone.
It was a valuable opportunity for everyone to know about the earth-friendly "goat weeding". A total of about 350 people attended the event during the two days. Thank you very much for your attention.
