Need help! Bear with me looong post!!!!
Prior info- neighbor was estatic we were living our dream- getting goats- cant wait to hold them-etc...
Then we are done with fencing wirking on structures and then comes across with-
Hey hun... not so sure about you getting goats... they make smells. Make noise.
We will see how it goes- her words!
Now
—:-:-
Just brought home 2 does-1 year old. Neighbor messaged me this:
We don’t need to talk to my goat buddy because your now our closest goat buddy! Her Goats are not next to her house. They have their pens away from where their home is on their property. And no one else is bothered by their crying. Because their neighbors aren’t next to their pens either. Don’t get me wrong, I like the little goats! We just don’t want to hear them crying right out our back bay window doors at night. We’ve had peaceful nights for 31 years here and We’d like to continue enjoying the sounds and quiet of natural country. During the day we’ll have to put up with it. Goats especially Nigerians can be talkers and noisy. So how are you working with them at night? Are you closing them in or leaving them loose in the pen? They did quiet down once we went to bed We didn’t hear them. Of course you still need to bring home the babies. Like i said before Anne, it was a big concern of ours that the pens were right behind our Bay window doors and we keep them open at night to let the cooler air in for the summer.
I hope this arrangement you set up for them there will work out for both of us. It’s bad enough we have to put up with Pearce’s barking dogs. They haven’t tried to do much about that and don’t seem to care either. But your goats are right behind us. Our Horses are very quiet! They are not noisy. Unless one gets out and then we know by them neighing. So they are not disturbing the natural sounds of the country around us or bothering the neighbors.
I returned with this- i went line by line and responded:
Her-We don’t need to talk to my goat buddy because your now our closest goat buddy!
Me-/Really - buddies don’t treat other buddies like children.Buddies don’t go half cocked on said buddy’s husband
Her- Her Goats are not next to her house. They have their pens away from where their home is on their property.
Me-/Guess what we did the same!!
Her-And no one else is bothered by their crying.
Me-/Guess what again other neighbors don’t have a problem!
Her-Because their neighbors aren’t next to their pens either.
Me-/You are not next to my pen!
Her-Don’t get me wrong, I like the little goats!
Me-/Good to know!
Her-We just don’t want to hear them crying right out our back bay window doors at night.
Me-/They quiet down at night, we have our windows open at night and dont have an issue.
Her-We’ve had peaceful nights for 31 years here and We’d like to continue enjoying the sounds and quiet of natural country.
Me-/Guess what? I hear Coyotes,I hear sheep, the guard dog going off. I hear horses. I smell horses/ goats/ sheep- every day! And night! My Goats too are part of country living!
Her-During the day we’ll have to put up with it.
Me-/Oh -so nighttime when your sleeping you don’t hear what i hear???The sheep/ barking dogs/ the coyotes, the crowing??
Thats called selective hearing!
Her-Goats especially Nigerians can be talkers and noisy.
Me-/Guess what sheep are more so!!!
Her-So how are you working with them at night?
Me-/Like any other caregiver!!
Her-Are you closing them in or leaving them loose in the pen?
Me-/What do you think?? Im an idiot?? Of course they are snuggled tight in bed- safety first!! We are following all county rules and regulations. They are fussed and treated better than most people treat their pets!
Her-They did quiet down once we went to bed.
Me-/So what the hell is the problem???
Her-We didn’t hear them.
Me-/ok- again neither did we.
Her-Of course you still need to bring home the babies. Like i said before Anne, it was a big concern of ours that the pens were right behind our Bay window doors and we keep them open at night to let the cooler air in for the summer.
Me-/Again they are not right behind your bay window! More than 50 feet- from the property line-which is required by the county!!
Her-I hope this arrangement you set up for them there will work out for both of us.
Me-/Its working out just fine!
Her-It’s bad enough we have to put up with Pearce’s barking dogs.
Me-/ I rarely hear his dogs and i am next door!
Her-They haven’t tried to do much about that and don’t seem to care either.
Me-/They must care for their pups for they just built new fence enclosure and the pups no longer get out and i don’t hear him yelling or beating his dogs do id say he cares a great deal.
Her-But your goats are right behind us.
Me-/They are on our property- 50 feet as required county code.
Your horses are on your property and right behind us! Structures don’t follow the county 50 foot rule!!
Her-Our Horses are very quiet!
Me-/Noises are part of country living- they have their moments like any animal.
Her-They are not noisy. Unless one gets out and then we know by them neighing. So they are not disturbing the natural sounds of the country around us or bothering the neighbors.
Me--/Again goats are part of country living. We live in the country , we have goats.
What am i up against for the future????
