Hi All,

Thanks for all the advise and the laughs. Due to money restrictions, i
think
we are going to try tethering them - might have to tie them to a cement
block
though!

Tire with rims work for a lot of people.


Tethering goats? I've seen some success tethering them to old
pickup trucks with the tires and rims removed. But with billy
goats, even that is iffy.

Oh, don't use rope to tether them. They'll eat it. Use a chain
and watch out that they don't get their little feet/legs boogered
up in it. (Ask a goat person how to properly tether a goat. I'm
a cow/horse/chicken/dog/cat person.)

Goats are *very* cool animals, but...

I used to raise goats back in high school. I liked them a lot (Nubians)
but I'd never have another Billy goat unless I had a LOT more space!

Somewhere where I did not have to smell him. ;-)
