The weirdest thing happened the other day. I went outside in the morning to let the goats out of their pens for the day and Cuzco was standing out in the field to greet me. For some odd reason he was not in the pen! All the other boys were still in and the gate was tight shut. One of the support posts for the electric fence was bent at an odd angle, so he must have jumped out, but what possessed him to do that is beyond me. He has never jumped out of the electric fence before. In fact, he hasn't attempted to jump out of ANY fence for years and years! I thought he was way too old to be pulling these kind of stunts. I have no idea what made him do it. He didn't act upset or panicked and neither did any of the other goats, so I don't think a bear walked by (besides, Daisy would have gone nuts and we'd have heard her). Very odd thing. I hope it doesn't become a habit. I know in his younger days Cuzco was able to clear a six-foot horse panel from a standstill (we watched him do it), but he has enough trouble just jumping into the truck bed these days. All I can think is that he must have been really sick of those pervy little boys in his pen!
