That's true, but just like with free ranging chickens....there are also DOGS to be concerned with.

I hadn't thought of that. We don't have dog issues here when it comes to goats.

If you have dog issues with regard to chickens -- as almost everyone does -- then I'd hazard a guess that it's not so much that you don't have those issues....but simply that you haven't had them yet.

It's been awfully dry here this year, and we finally got a rain storm on Saturday. Two of my sheep were standing out in the rain, soaking wet, and they have a shelter as well. I think they were just as happy about the rain as I was!

Barbed Wire is the worst fencing EVER. I've seen so many animals getting torn up in them, caught or hurt. Its really sad.
