Goat Containment
This has been the weekend of fences. The goats are officially out of control and are being CONTAINED in a new-and-improved goatie run. The other was fine, but didn’t allow for any grazing. Since that seemed like a terrible waste (and cost) I’ve been letting them run amok in my back yard. Fun for me, but very destructive for the back yard.
Being goats, they were very interested in what was going on so, I had plenty of company out there. With their help, we expanded their little run area to a whomping 125′x75′ palace. I even arranged the fallen tree into a “mountain goat” play structure.
I’ve got one more day of work before it starts raining again. With my primary eaters now locked up, I’m starting to plant the orchard today. Would work on the wrapping the fence down around it first, but my hands are killing me from yesterday’s adventure. Thanks to mom for listening to my temper-tamtrums, and thanks to neighbor Clint for the fence tensioner. It works great!
