Fences And Water

Well I now believe the old adage that if a fence will hold water it will hold a goat. It’s obvious that there are several ‘leaks’ in our fencing. This morning I rescued one goat that got her head caught in the fence–no big thing, happens all the time since most of our goats have horns, but, one of the young dairy girls got outside again into the wooded area of our property. By the time I got back around to that pasture after releasing the stuck girl the escapee had gotten back into the pasture she was supposed to be in and I couldn’t find where she’d gotten out at. Not good. You can’t fix what you can’t find. I’ve been looking to get a fullblood doe addition to the herd, but thankfully the one I was looking at seriously was taking some time to get back to me and during this week I’ve found just how escapable some of our areas are. I need to work on that first before adding any more.
