Hey, Gary,
Don't be. It looked great to me. It's just goats are so ingenious and smart. Yes, now that you mention it, the hay was down to just a little when she did this. Guess she thought maybe we were stashing some down below where she couldn't see or get too and she'd just climb in there and look.
Will you keep the basic design? Post when you're done so I can add your changes.
I've been around livestock most of my youth; raised on a farm, and these things happen. It's part of it. My brother once had a registered Hereford heifer to swallow a piece of baling wire when wire was prevalent. Used our dad's old mare to haul it away and after she got it to where he wanted, she fell over dead from the strain. Vet bill on the cow too. Like I said, it's part of it.
