It is inevitable every spring on CrossOver Farms that there comes a day when we see goats on our front porch. No matter how many times we build fence, new pens and gates, the buggers manage to find a way out. If it's not the Oklahoma winds here on the prairie blowing the gate open, it's one of my kids leaving a latch just a little too loose.
Thinking that I would let the youngsters stretch their legs, I put all 10 goat kids in the big doe pen this morning. And just a little while later I see a baby goat go flying past the bay window on the porch!
So, I go outside to put it up and five others jump off of the deep freezer by the back door and tackle me. I snatch all 10 and put them back in, only to watch them all climb through the gate and run back to me.
Oh the joys of goat raising!
Sooooo, the next project will be covering the gate with wire fencing so that the babies can't get through. It's always something.....

And how high will that fence have to be to keep those high jumpers in? This is really just a test to see if I can actually post something here and you get it. Let me know if you do. =}
