Knowing goats, they'd eat soft hobbles... ;-)


OK. No more mister nice guy.
How about the fenceless dog collars? I hope your herd isn't too large. I
believe a wire is buried in the ground and if the collar wearer gets too
close to the charged wire, they get a jolt from the collar. If it is
adjustable, crank it up. If the sensitivity is adjustable, same thing.
Then we aren't just talking a stinking wire but an exclusion zone that
they won't be able to be in. If you set the charge too high, maybe Joan
Flora (?) in Alaska will have a recipe:-(

It may be too pricey but it may be worth looking into.

Kill a goat. Dig a pit. Put 1/4 cord of good cooking-type
firewood in the pit. Let it burn down to coals. Wrap the
cut up goat chunks in wetted burlap sacking, after slathering
the BBQ sauce of your choice on the meat. Wrap baler twine
around the burlap. Lay the wrapped pieces of meat in the
pit. Cover pit with a piece of something -- we use plate steel.
Shovel dirt over the plate and around the edges. Let the
goat cook all night. Uncover, unwrap, eat.

That's how we BBQ beef here, but we generally use more wood
and a backhoe to dig the pit.
