Hello All
With the (2) new boy's in the hood here. Blizzard and Fuzzy have proven what everybody claims.
Kids are Escape Artist !
My old boys Pete and Sam have never escaped the Red Neck goat shed.
But since the KID's got here they(Kid's) have escaped twice. I have seen them "Squeeze" through the third tube up on my camera system.
Another advantage of have a Goat-O-Scope.
They stick around camp "For Now" because of herd habits. But with both out they are getting to the age were with both out they could decide to go "Walk About" on their own.
So I have had some dog cage panels than I have been strapping across the front of the shed at night.
=======================
TODAY:i FIXED THEIR ESCAPE ROUTE. (I hope)
Had the tail end of a roll of 2 X 4 welded wire fencing 4 foot tall.
Perfect height to fit the tube gates height that are the base of the Redneck Goat Shed, all I had to do is cut (2) pieces ,one for the swinging gate, the other the Stationary Gate.
Cutting the wire was the easy part.
I used up about 100 Zip Ties securing the wire to the outside of the tube gates. It "Should work"
Time will tell.
================================
I Scored big time on Sweet Corn Husk and some ears of sheet corn at two grocery stores I shop at.
City folk: Will pull open a ear of sweet corn in the husk from a display, to check it. IF they like the look many will "Husk it on the spot" and put it in a plastic bag" The Husk is better protection than a plastic bag"
Moving on: IF they don't like the look they throw it in a trash barrel next to the display or if they husk it on site they throw the husk in the trash barrel.
I have a arrangement this time of year to haul off the huskings.
Saves the stores putting them in the trash. I use the excuse I am feeding them to my goats and horses.
My horses and the goats "LOVE" the Fresh HUSK and occasional small ears of corn.
I usually find several good eating size ears that I cook for myself every time I bring bags home.
Today I found 24 good ears that had been looked at and tossed. I have enough sweet corn to cook for a couple days. Then the goats and horses still get the cobs. Everybody is Happy with the "Salvage Feed Operation"
Free food for me and all the critters here is always a good deal.
Happy Trails
