We brought Whiskey and Cowboy into the goat area and then we settled onto the goat shed porch to watch the integration process. It went fine. Bella, Bear and Thistle held the porch territory (which I'm thinkin' had more to do with people possession) but Whiskey and Cowboy didn't care. They were too busy running laps around the shed and doing gymnastic floor exercises.

And here are some very short videos of the new kids on the block.
And, lastly a question for those of you who also have goats. We have a fence jumper. Bella has jumped the five foot fence twice. It is ranch fencing with chain link on the inside to keep goats in and dogs out - she's a 10 week old Nigerian Dwarf... who wants to do stadium jumping. Any suggestions on how to keep her from jumping out or is this something she will outgrow as she gets bigger and heavier?
Cute! Thanks for the video. Is she standing on something when she jumps--feeders, rocks, toys? Ours have never been able to jump that high, but we do have one who will jump off of things and over the fence. She did not outgrow it, we just moved everything away from the fence.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thoughts Linda. Unfortunately, there aren't any props near the fence. She just runs down the slope and then leaps half-way or more up and uses the momentum from running to get her over.
ReplyDeleteYour goats are just adorable. Is there a possibility of goat's milk or cheese in the future? :)
ReplyDeleteThose goats are just too adorable. I'm sitting here wondering how that little goat jumped that high, if she keeps it up you might want to enter her in stadium jumping contests!
