Hey all quick post (daughter has a bball game)--
WE GOT OUR GOATS!!!!
Thats the good part (after seriously about 45 mins of chasing them to catch them, they are pretty wild- dam raised and not handled)...
SO, we put them in the chicken yard (fenced off the feeders, I dont think even the hens can get to them actually, I fed them out in the yard today)...
The poor goats -- dogs sniffing and whining and my previously laid back 15 week old LGD puppy sprang into action-- he did not want Strangers in his yard! I had to seriously dissuade him!
They ran into a corner filled with berry brambles and hid (and landed on top a cat hiding from the dogs, another shock for them!- luckily cat was friendly)-- its been 2 hours they are still in the bushes what do I do? I put out an arm ful of grass hay and a bucket of water and will chain up the dog (trouble maker one) before I go.... anything else?
I did end up putting collars and a long string on each -- for ease of capture.... OK gotta go...
PS they are 16 wk old nigerian-toggs not completely weaned....
