so I got a goat today | Page 2 | Animals | Forums

I divided my pen in half. lined the outside with 7 foot t posts. 

took the electric fence wire off the 5 acres next to my fenced area and ran two strands above my goat fence. 

this was creating a decent bite around the whole 5 acres. it really packs a punch around the 200 foot pen. the poor bastard took one to the nose. but i think he learned his lesson and i dont have to keep him tied anymore. he is playing with the others.

I also patched my horse ribbon and that is funtioning again.

I probably got shocked 30 times this weekend. 

yea, i have a butcher date set for 10/21

it might be hard. these guys sure are enjoyable.

especially the youngsters. I get a few belly laughs a day from them. 

I will try and get video. but everytime i feed them the smallest runs at the bucket full speed and crams himself in blocking his brothers out. doesnt use his arms at all. just hits it like a bullet. 

does everyone elses goats act like they havent eaten in weeks when they are fed??

i thought i was following instruction but i went through a 50lb bag of feed and 2/3 a bale of alfalfa hay in 2 weeks.

that as on 1 120lb  boer and 2 40 lb kiko boer mix.

does that sound right?

if i follow the 1 percent of weight rule... i fed about double...

they dont have much browse 

thanks
