I Think I Have Lost It...

In my barn over the years I have put up against the pens large pieces of wood to stop the goat kids from getting out and does and bucks from getting together.. So..today I scrubbed down the walls and think I will paint them a bright color and put some designs on them. Figure winter is coming and it will brighten up their pens and and I'm getting old..and a little nutty perhaps. Shhh....don't tell anyone..promise.. (now I have had goats for over 30 years..so I'm allowed..LOL)

Ha, your goat could be terrified of their new digs.

It does sound like a fun task.

Have fun with the paint but remember you are suppose to paint the boards not your self or the goats.

Ya know those political campaign signs you see posted all over weeks prior to an election? They're made of plastic. Last season, I was given a few post-election. I use them for: windbreaks, sunshades, making my own little signs, etc.. SO many ways to re-purpose them!

I have a yellow "goat crossing" sign. It was absolutely necessary, IMO.

I need a warning sign that the goats can read LOL. My does tend to like using the road instead of the field path to get from place to place.

To post a picture, just go below the reply box and click "Manage Attachments". That will open up in a new window (pop up blockers might block this?). On there, you click on choose file, and you can do several pics at at time. After you've picked all the pics you want to upload, click the upload button. Once that is done, you can close that window, and click the reply button.

I have a 20' stock trailer that needs sand blasted and repainted. I want to paint it black with white moon spots or vice versa. My wife thinks I'm crazy.

I use those signs for everything. I live near the voting precinct and they like to hang the big 4x8 signs on me fence.
