Goats are so good at showing us the error of our ways.
When we very first acquired goats (one doe, one buckling), the little buckling was eager to show me the flaw in my milking stand design, by catching his foreleg in a space on the stanchion and snapping the bone right in two.
That was the day (morning, actually, about 2 a.m.) we learned how to splint a broken leg. Thank God that DH sleeps so light, or he'd have been dead by the time I woke up.
Have to think like a goat in order to protect the goats.
