No, I am not currently under this line of storms.
Yes, I think it fair to say that the FL Panhandle/Wiregrass area is getting "damp".

Not showing on current radar, it was mist to light rain beginning about 3am, and hasn't stopped. Doubt I will need to water the gardens this week.

Started putting up woven wire fencing around the pasture. About a $2k investment, but the goats kept breaking the electric. Had to be done. About 250' complete, About 1000' to go.

How tall is it?

How do you stretch it tight?

4'. The goats could jump it if they were sufficiently motivated. I have a fence stretching jig, plus the tractor. 25hp is plenty, once it's maneuvered into place.

A couple years ago, my neighbor thought she might get a goat. I think/hope she's forgotten about that idea. I would have to have a very serious talk with her if she gets one.

They don't/can't keep their chickens in the run. A goat on the loose would be a HUGE issue. Michigan is a "fence in" state.
