Nobody Warned me?

[terrilhb]

Ok I have 2 billy's. Love them so much. But noone warned me how smart goats are. Sitting outside with my DH by a fire and look over and there is Tack walking around the fence just munching away. I get up and go to get him and he looks at me like what did I do mom? So I put him up he went right in no problem. Found out he climbed the fence to get out. So got the fence fixed. I hope. Who could have known they were so smart.

Never underestimate the wits of a goat!!!!

As I always say...goats can find trouble in an empty room!!!!

All my kids got out while I was doing chores this morning. They just followed me around like "Hmm.. what ya doin' mom?" So curious!!! I am learning quick to not underestimate them!

Yep, nothing like a goat to teach you about fencing.....

And there's nothing like older, fat does who can no longer jump and are too fat to squeeze through anything...

Aren't the 'OFD's the ones in the background coaching the youngins and cheering them on ??

( all done very quietly, yanno......)

Oh, yeah, I blocked that traumatic info from my mind.....late one Saturday night my older dairy gal told my buckling how to short out the electric (four wires lining and topping a four-foot horse fence, the wires were up 7 feet total, one at his shoulder height....a fortress!) and climb over the horse fencing. He bred the three that were not on his dance card.

LOL free!! Gotta watch out for those OFDs...

Our immediate backyard was made for OFDs and nursery kids/mommas...everytime I'd walk through the gate to the ranch one would non chalantly charlie horse or headbutt my butt (I don't weigh very much, tiny frame) so as to knock me off guard and get past me. Lol. I miss goats.

If I didn't play into them, they sit there bleating like, hello?? What about me?? You forgot! Goats.

we should all start our post with the line.. "Nobody warned me...... "

..... that goats would be so addictive. I started with one, and now I have 9.
