We actually thougbt about it, but it took over a month for them to stop hollering when goat walk ended and with them being so routine oriented...if we do it once and they like it they will be begging at that time every day to go again....
I wouldn't have them and Gabbie together right now outside a contained area....because I am not up to chasing all the animals....

You give them a nice area where they can go when and where they want and they yell at you for not chaperoning them?? Those darn goats should be more appreciative of you and Joyce!

How else will you find out how natural Gabbie's herding instinct is??

 

[CntryBoy777]

Oh there isn't any doubt that she could herd them or move them....but, to where?..........she is still having a very difficult time obeying outdoors, so I don't think herding commands would be any better...right now. She'll have to do good inside the fence before I'd ever try outside the fence....

 

[Bruce]

Good point. Since she "herded" that long stick into the house, she might decide that is the best place to herd EVERYTHING.

You two are cracking me up!

 

[Bruce]

Glad to make you happy

Today was a nice dry day here...the sun was out, but the temps where fairly chilly with the wind factor. The sun and wind combined to give the drying a boost....toted water last evening and this morning, but hooked the hoses back up to use on final rounds....the low is above freezing so it should be fine. The stars of the day here has to be the Ducks!! I went out to deal with them and shut them up for the nite....I had to put the nozzels on the hoses and they all came running out of their yard.....past me, and headed towards the field where they swam....and billed around....course I talked to them and they took off running and squawking to another spot...then another, and even another. They were all Excited and was giving me a guided tour over the areas they have covered the past few days....I think they are excited about the "New Territory", more bugs, and grass.....then they ran back to their yard and filed right on in. Seriously it was the damnedest thing I have every experienced from a group of animals....

Before...I mentioned something about using 16"x16" concrete squares in the goat yard....I know and realize I only have 3 goats, but this can be expanded to accommodate more. I have told @Southern by choice about them....and here is a video of their use.....

Oh...I almost forgot....just so ya know just how final rounds start here....I can't hold the phone and feed at the same time, but I got ya up to that point.....

I have one spot by our handling chute that takes forever to dry out and those squares work wonders.
