I HAVE A MOTHER GOAT & 2- 4 MONTH OLD FEMALE BABIES THAT HAVE RECENTLY BEGAN CHEWING ON MY HORSES TAIL . THIS BEGAN IN COLD WEATHER& THEY HAVE PROBABLY CHEWED OFF ABOUT ONE FOOT OF IT. WHAT SUGGESTIONS DOES ANYONE HAVE TO STOP THIS PROBLEM ? ARE THERE ANY POTIENTIAL HEALTH PROBLEMS FOR THE GOATS? COULD IT BE A MINERAL DEFICENCY OR JUST BOREDOM? THANK-YOU FOR ANY REPLIES.
