Hi Goat Mom,
Well let's hope that the house trailer was painted with a paint that is unleaded! At least you are getting the place fenced to keep the girls in line. Oh how we love our goaties though. I'll never forget my garden and my prize tomatoes which I thought for sure I'd be enjoying very soon. The goats got one look at them and said with a gleam in their eye, "nah. They're not ripe yet." The little stinkers knew they were still green and left them alone. Well, it was a few days before picking time and the goats must have known something because they stampeded and ate every single tomato on the vine! To boot, they trimmed my watermelons, mowed my corn and pickled my cucumbers! That was a few years ago. I haven't ventured to be a gardener since. Goat steaks were a tempting proposition about that time!
Best regards,
Gary
