Goats are crazy animals! It’s quite a scramble when they want something like for instance FOOD! Then we had some goat fences built. But of course, that didn’t keep them in for long. They stripped the whole place of plants and now they try to lean and jump over the fence for a mouthful of oak leaves, or pine needles. They broke a part of the fence by slipping under and above it, so our fencers had to put in stronger fences....

Oh happy day! All the fences are fixed and done! The paddock is now something that no horse will dare run through; The goat fences keep the goat where they should be, and not in our way; and finally the last horse pasture! Now it just needs a new gate because Lina jumped over it, and the goats also need a slimmer gate because they can fit through it.

The 5 remaining goats and babies (Eduardo the buck was recently given...

If you accidently leave the doors open (or windows) they’ll be in the house before you know it. They’re trash pickers. If you forget to remove the trash bags, you’ll have the drama of cleaning it up. And we have 6 of them- 2 does, and 4 kids. The goats live freely on the property. We...
