Granny's gone and done it again

Still having jaw pain after a month. So i took half a pain pill. Got a mouth guard approved by the insurance company. But the dentist office doesn't know about it, because they have all their mail sent to the main office. Why does everything have to be difficult?

True. But they aren’t standard for NDG showing. Plus, they pose a threat to our other animals (emphasis on Kiki, lol). But yeah, if I were keeping my goats as just pets, I would consider leaving them horned.

I had a horned goat years ago and she kept sticking her head through the fence and getting stuck. I couldn't wrestle her head back through and had to cut the fence. She finally did it during a hail storm. After cutting her loose I took her to the sale barn. I hope she was delicious.

When they do that, i duct tape pvc pipe across the horns. They are not able to stick their heads outside through the fence. So far, i have not had a nigerian who couldn't figure out how to get out if they stuck their heads through. We call the pvc hat , the CROWN of Shame!

I’ve heard sheep are even worse since they do it with their heads

Well isn’t that how goats do it?

I’m talking about the market sheep who aren’t even horned

A neighbor here has dozens of goats and kids that often get out and cross the road; it's not unusual to see one with its head in the fence. Older now and wiser I have observed that I have yet to see a dead goat hanging in the fence.

Seems like if their head will go through once it would go back through if they pulled. But a goat ... the horns won't fold, but ears will.

I had a goat get stuck 3x one week in the hay feeder. She's no longer here.
