I'm having a mental image of the car coming through the fence on a sunny day w/ the goats out there....

"BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! It's gonna get me"

And once it stopped they would all hop on it. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Take that you evil car!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about the hole in the fence. I hope the driver and thier insurance understand the magnitude of the damage. Make sure you get compensation for labor to fix it too.

Hubby drives to work every day past a horse farm on an S curve. There is a section of KY board fence that gets wiped out 4-6 times a year.

I think if you make it a cloudy day then your image is spot on. You should see them when a train goes by. I think I'll have to video tape it some time. Ears up, necks straight, tails out, FLYING across the yard. Only to turn around and FLY back across the yard.


It's the second time in eh 5 or so years that they've gone through the fence. Last time it was a hit and run.

Goodness, at least the driver was decent enough to stop! Hopefully it'll all get fixed through their insurance money and not cost too much in the way of time/convenience for you guys!

My mom hit a slick spot in the road when it was raining once and went through a horse fence. Not only did she help contain the horses but left her insurance information. Then my dad went back and told the lady that when she got the fence he'd put it up for her. Show of goodwill for the damage done.

I've talked to both insurance companies and we should have a check out to us by the end of the week. So far the goats are staying contained. The whole electric is going to have to be redone. It's randomly snapped and broken in places and the patching and such would not be worth it.


We pick up the Nigerian buck next weekend I think so of COURSE everybody has gone into heat in the last week.

I love our insurance company!! They are paying for labor, materials, clean up, everything and I didn't even need to send photos. (we have them anyway just in case) The check is in the mail today. :celebrate

Congratulations! Nice when paying for Insurance, it actually works when you need it.

Good Luck with the New Buck! And it looks like Murphy's Law applies to your farm too. Isn't it always the way. :rolleyes:
