LOL, I thought it you bought a whole herd of moonspotted goats or something. Hope the bruises go away soon.

I had occasional breakouts of that sort, for a year and a half or so. Then I banded the horns on my only horned goat and miraculously, no more Spotty Goat Plague... But I seem to have caught the Blotchy Fence Plague. One blotch about 8" long and 2" wide on the back of one leg is a lovely blackish greenish yellowish color. Lots of small scratches and jabs from fingertips to upper arm. Blackberry briars seemingly permanently ensconced in my skin. The following day/s expect body aches and pains. Symptoms may also include angry amusement at the neighbor you catch watching out of his window, who later comes outside as you are putting in the *last* staple to ask if you would like some help...

And yeah, Blotchy Fence Plague can be induced by Spotty Goat Ownership, so be aware and be safe out there!

My husband has hauled cattle for a living in 52' cattle pot for almost 8 years now. When they "spin-out" in there and throw liquid crap everywhere there is no telling where it is going to land. I was on the ground while he was checking his load a few years back, minding my own business. He laid the hot-shot to a calf that was laying down and the crap flew! and hit me right in the middle of the chest........how rude!

Wow, if you can straddle your adult goats, either your'e a lot taller than me, or your goats are shorter

I'm 5'10", too much of that leg. The only ones I *cannot* straddle, are my bucks. I even try that, I go for a ride, as my feet cannot touch the ground.

Pretty pretty Ichi!

What is the other boy's name? All I can remember about him is that he shakes hooves.
