My friends still joke about me paying $6000 to own 4 hungry goats for 48hrs.

I love this story. I thought it was going to finish with while chasing down cattle the sheep got loose ran across street and are your neighbors garden.

That would be a doozy! Except our closest neighbours are over a mile away. The rest are 3-4 miles away. We are very, VERY rural.

That being said, we had an entire herd of cattle show up right when we were ready to leave for a graveside service. We managed to get some into our corrals in our Sunday best but the rest ran off down the road. We did make it for the service but left for home right away afterwards fearing the worst because our bulls were beside the road where these cattle were. Try explaining that to people! Ended up the cattle were from friends/family from about 10 miles away!

With help they got them rounded up and we helped get all the cattle into our corrals. They came back with their cattle trailer. Not many people live out here. So we know people from miles around. Most of them are family, my husband's side...lol.

I once had bright idea to buy goats to do my weed eating.Most expensive weed eaters ever.They got loose and ate gardens of everyone within a mile of my house.Then they were still hunger so they ate all exposed electrical wires on everyone house.For dessert they had 2 motorcycle seats and about 25 lawn chairs.

Oh, I believe it!! We had some goats show up here from a nearby town! Our darn yard seems to be a catch-all for delinquent roaming animals. They kept on going and got another 5 miles away!! They went about 30 miles! Crazy! I didn't have a garden though.

My sheep get out and they might go two or three car lengths away. Then they"ll run back into the pen themselves!

Maybe sheep would have been a better choice?

I must admit goats are pretty impressive.They look pretty much harmless .The second you let your guard down they turn into devastating machines of destruction.

Oh gosh. Chit happens, we farm full time and I can not tell you the all of the hi-jinks we've experienced! From helping random people on day trips with cattle that have gotten out, dogs we've picked up, cat's we've picked up. Our cattle never get loose, and one the one and only day we've been asked to the lake on a boat...our cattle got into one of our crops.
That's life. As hard as we try, sometimes it just can't be scripted.
Some people don't understand that.
