I knew I thought he was Beautiful for a reason...Fred, hummm....that's my 1st name...but, I have been told that I was the South end of a North bound horse...
The goat is now in my house, because he managed to escape again. DH is coming home at lunch to give me a hand with this, I'm tired of playing stupid games, I've won plenty of stupid prizes today.
Well Bruce there is nothing ya can call me that hasn't been heard before, so ya can't be the 1st and ya probably won't be the Last, either... and anything ya can come up with will be "Filed" just like all the others and have no lasting effects. I have very Thick skin.
I think you are wise to involve your DH with it, instead of trying to handle it all yourself.
I was thinking about your buck, and a quick cheap solution may be duct taping a pc of PVC pipe across his horns. You can use a length that would not allow his head to fit thru, and negate the danger of the ends of the horns, until ya wish to deal with it. A plus could be it would give him something else to focus on instead of "Escaping".
I cut him loose in the house, he hid in my sons room because the dog laid outside the bedroom door, lol.
DH came home at lunch with a small dog collar, I already had a steel dog tether, so he got tied up until DH gets home from work and makes a fence - I ended up taking a nap for the rest of the afternoon, I was worn out. He's still here and tied to the fence where he can hob nob with the other goats (and has about 50 feet of tether), so I finally got some peace and quiet today lol. We have a whole roll of chainlink and some fence posts, so DH said basically he's just making a pen when he gets home and all the bozo goats can go into it until they can be nice with letting me catch them and he gets big enough not to run off.
