Ok, so I have a pygmy goat and this is the 3rd one I have ever owned and she is BY FAR the smartest and most troublesome one I've ever had! She was jumping on my brooding box and then jumping over the 4 foot goat fence. Ok, I fenced that off and then she tried climbing the fence with no success. BUT...she spent about 20 minutes running around the barnyard and then went running really fast and JUMPED over the lower part of the barnyard. JUST JUMPED IT! I saw it with my own eyes and was in complete disbelief. Ok, so outsmarted again. Now I have her tied out on a plastic coated wire dog cable. The problem with this is that my last goat strangled herself when she was tied out and I've had a neighbor's goat do the same thing about 15 years ago. My last goat died in my arms because she couldn't get air. VERY TRAUMATIC and I don't want to tie my new goat, Lily, out but I'm looking for ideas. Throw something out there at me!
Just please help! Or if you have any better ways of tying her out let me know.
PS. She has a halter on because of my traumatic last experience and guess what? SHe knows that if she turns around and pulls really hard she will slip right out of it. Yeah, she's really smart! GRRRR!
Thanks!
