Haystack Alpinas' is about the well-known sport of goat dancing.
2 goats are playing 'Ring around the posy' on top of a haystack. “There is no worse pest in the Swiss Alps than the Haystack Alpinas. They romp around and spoil the lovely feed and then dash across the alpine meadows looking for the next haystack to have their sport. They're definitely having a lot of fun with their dancing. AND sustainability! Yes, they are of course making mulch, which improves the water retaining qualities of soil, adds to its organic matter and gets it on the right footing for long-haul sustainability".
