[TheForge] Re: OT Goats

[Jerry Frost]

Unfortunately we don't but I keep hearing about them, 
here, from Deb, etc.

We use progressive opening ranch panels, not hog 
pannels. We have to keep the kids in till they're 
toolarge to get through an 8" opening. They're 9ga. 
welded and galvanized. We bought 50 when Deb and I 
moved her posessions from the UP to AK and paid under 
$19. ea with quantity discount. Even 10 years ago they 
were more than $36. ea. here.

We've only had one climber since moving the herd here. 
She escaped from her isolation pen the first night she 
was here and we found her in with the other does in the 
morning. No other escape artists, I guess lush pasture, 
regular feeding and a pair of Great Pyrenees Mountain 
Dogs makes them happier inside the fences.
