How does it happen?
we let them in that fenced area because we're too cheap to pay for gas to mow when we would otherwise be paying for hay!!! LOL

I was going to suggest not asking Minelson for help. She also had a photo of goats on the vehicle, waiting for an ice cream run. Or maybe that was just a dream on my part.

LOVE her "Beer Run" photo!

I am having the same issue...and fencing on a rock driveway doesn't work with T-posts...I've started to park my car in the garage because they already destroyed my convertible roof...but now the other family's cars are still suffering. I'm still googling this...I'll repost if I find an answer that WORKS! FOR REAL! It's nice to just let them walk around and eat grass and not have to watch them. We have a sweet pygmy family (2 nannies & 4 babies) - same thing. Mommies know better, babies (who are getting bigger every day...born March 1 & Feb. 28) but we usually aren't out there to spray them with water when they're on the cars. It's super hot in TX right now...not fun for goat sitting!

It's hard for me to fathom why someone would have animals but not care enough to have proper fencing to start. You must have a POS for a car to let this continue. Your goats can be injured jumping and climbing on a slick smooth metal surface also. Pen them build a fence. Something beside ruining your car.

Goats in pasture car in driveway, fence in between. We have had a few times when we drive a truck in to the pasture and the goats loves to play with it. But also the turkeys, guineas and chickens love the chrome areas. Now as for my UTV the goats play on it a lot when I am in the pasture. I had a bottle baby who loved to go for rides in it and would go to visit all the neighbors with us until he got to big to fit with both of us. We did consider a 2 seater but instead sold the goat.

Put the car out to a securely fenced pasture. A goat's gotta do what a goat's gotta do.

Fainting goats don't care much for climbing on cars, but they do like the utv though.

A sprinkler with a motion detector? A good electric fence was the only way we could keep them off. It's a pain. Adds an extra gate, makes it hard to unload groceries and stuff. Oh, wait, the goats also made it hard to unload groceries and stuff. My buck will steal the bananas if given half a chance.

Thank you for a drop of sensibility in a sea of intellectual bankruptcy. I'll just never understand this sophomoric trend among today's new breed of livestock owner that considers emotional immaturity as humor.

I find this rather offensive. If we are all so intellectually bankrupt and emotionally immature, why are you here? I personally prefer the goat forum because the people who post here have a sense of humor and are usually kind and helpful in their responses. If you don't like that, go somewhere else. You don't need to be insulting.
