Goat Thread!

Anybody use an unconventional herding dog? Like a hound, retriever, terrier etc? I got the aussie to teach herding but my basset hound is the one who learned

This morning I watched him walk them across the dirt road then come back to get a goat and pig that where left on the other side. After that he got them off of the side of the road where they were lollygagging and through the fence. He just sat by the fence after that, watching them. It really was amazing to me. I was literally watching through a window cursing the goats in the road and when he cleared them out I was as happy as could be.

That’s amazing!

I have 4 does who are all mutts! The gal I got them from had Nigerian Dwarfs, Boer, and Nubian.

Do they challenge your fence? Do you keep it electrified always?

I have a pet quality Nigerian dwarf doeling in Sw Missouri on the border of Arkansas if anyone is interested. She's 5 months, solid black, sweet, healthy, unfortunately has 4 teets so I want to get her out of the gene pool and find her a nice pet home. PM me for details

How did everyone’s goats make it through the storm? We had a real feel of -30°F after windchill, but everyone made it through
The Nigerian does alone ate 2 entire bales of hay in one day between feedings, I had to remake their windbreak because they ate it

My Nigerians slept on top of their windbreak and ate themselves silly

I’m glad mine aren’t the only ones - at least they enjoyed themselves!
