How to break your escape artist.....

Daisy, our 4 year old Boer goat has really been an escape artist up till late. Kind of a game with her, she would get out, munch on the garden and stand by the pasture fence and wait to be let back in. Well last week she got stuck in the fencing by her horns. I went outside to free her. As I was walking towards her, our two yo black angus bull tried to mount her. I hollared at him. He got down and walked away. The funny thing is that now she won't go within 25 yards of the fence and hollars her head off if another goat does. Just wanted to share, poor thing....

Yeah, can I get in line to borrow your bull???

I have a LaMancha that will spend the rest of her life tethered! I cannot seem to keep her in! She can clear a 5 ft fence, she is not happy in her lush pasture she only wants what is on the other side if the fence! GGGRrrrrrrr She is about 12 years old now??? How much longer do I have to put up with her?

My bull is scared of my 3 year old Boer doe!

Want to trade bulls?

Luckily since we bred the Boer doe and she got too heavy to clear the fence, she hasn't been caught out lately even after having kidded.
