The goats are wearing this cedar tree out :)

I don't know what these trees are, but the bark on it was delicious because they have killed them.

Look what the goats uncovered. It was totally covered with vines. What makes folks pile up trash on their property? I've got a job when the weather turns cold.

Of course everyone is going to climb on it now.

I can relate to your trash haul. We were making 3-5 pickup load hauls to the dump every month when we first started renovating our place and that wasn't counting the neverending bonfire we have every time we go there. When we bought our tractor we made a front end loader the have to have item and it has been a back saver.

A lot of it is wood, so we will definitely have some bonfires this winter. :thumbsup

Ok so the goats have been abusing the brand new fence. You all know how they love to rub their bodies down it which stretches the fence. I knew I needed to run a hot wire to keep them off of it, but couldn't find the time. Well, got rutting bucks and does in heat now, so Sunday I jumped on it.

Got the high traffic areas first, probably ran about 800 ft so far. Pretty easy when you already have the wooden post in place

Said you needed to install energizer inside a building or in a weather proof enclosure. This will do for now.

Its working quite well. Goats have learned very quickly. All of the dogs have gotten it at least twice. Rachel and I have both gotten zapped too.
