SMH....kids! Well you know that some adults are just overgrown kids(even the human ones!)

Oh My!!! My sheep won't be nearly as comfortable this winter. I'm replacing tarps but they only cover the top half of the hoop houses. I'm putting plywood on the bottom where they rub but there will still be wind.

it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt...in this case it was their shelter!

Their faces clearly say:

D-AAAAD!! FIX IT! PUT IT BAAAAACK!!!

Oh my. Having bent some cattle panels I know:
1) It is NOT easy to do, Those are some talented and strong goats.
2) You are gonna have some fun trying to get it back into anything the resembles a hoop.

It appears to me that they are looking to relocate to some of the "greener grass".........guess ya could try a "hawg house" for them next.

So yeah... those CPs are never gonna be straightened out... They are overlapping at the seems too and they still have been flattened. I don't have the $$ but don't have a "choice" either... have to do something... Was hoping the hoop would be sufficient till I could afford ground leveling and barn building. Not so much anymore. Working on plans for a short term building with raised floor out in the pasture/pen area that won't interfere with the future barn space. That way I can remove it after the barn is completed. Thinking 24' x 16' with a 4' "porch". I'll section/separate/enclose the far end of it to a separate enclosure maybe 6' x12' for the buck/wethers while preventing breeding, and then as a jug for kidding in the spring. <sigh>

 

[Mike CHS]

I guess it's an understatement to say they destroyed those panels. I'm not sure how you could have prevented that either.

what bad kids you have but you know how teenagers can be. my goats have done a lot of bad things but they have never torn down their own shelter. I hope you can figure something out before they melt in the rain. and just an fyi, you can straighten out cattle panels, not easy but it can be done. don't ask how I know.

Yep. I have straightened several that trees fell on around Dad's old barn and they were in a lot worse shape than what I envision is under that tarp. They were never 'perfect' or 'like new' again but they were pretty straight.
