The solution to @Latestarter's problems are easy!
1) Sheep, LOTS of sheep
2) A few anteaters
3) Automatic milking machines
4) Castor Oil
5) A live in cook

anteaters huh?
Wonder what kind of fence those would need.

Probably nothing more difficult than a 4' deep concrete wall under the fence if you wanted to make sure they didn't dig out
Oh, and I forgot, @Latestarter needs some chickens - to help smooth out the ground after the anteaters rip it all up looking for ants.

We have 40 in the incubator that started hatching during the night.

I first thought that you had ants or anteaters hatching!

look like anyone you know. spotted pig on the camera about 125 yards down below my house. very obviously pregnant sow and the timing would be about right for her. after looking closer I decided that it wasn't spot because the ears are wrong. spots ears leaned forward more. oh well, was hoping she was coming home.
I've had fire ants get into my goat feed too. talk about a painful surprise. I put de in and along the path of their trail and that kept them out for a while but they came back. second time I put de in and around the feed and then put poison back behind the container the feed is in. directions said about a tablespoon but heck no I put half the bottle. sob's were not going to sting me again. seems to have worked as they haven't been back in a year now.
hope the girls are ok. was really glad you got a 2nd tarp for the hoop house and was also glad that youall didn't get the rain you were suppose to from Harvey. I was thinking the other day that if there comes a point that you are tired of fooling with the goats or don't want to deal with their drama I would buy them back from you. just a thought to keep in the back of your mind. in my opinion cattle and sheep are so much easier to work with than dairy goats. I of all people know how hard it is to try and get things done by yourself. and the older I get the harder it gets, hence the name someday farm. ttfn

I haven't had goats but I know that our sheep are easy keepers.
