Today’s Fun Farm Fact is one that I discovered soon after getting our first goats, Tina and Hillary… Goats (like all other ruminate animals) do not have top front teeth! Imagine my surprise when I discovered this for the first time! There is a reason for this… It helps them grind the grasses and other vegetation they eat. In the space where their upper front teeth would be is a hard plate. The lower teeth grind the food against this hard plate breaking it up. While they do not have top front teeth they do have molars on both the bottom and the top towards the back of their mouths.
