Default goats

The 3 goats were sold this morning. Hated to do that. We tried tethering them & chaining them up, they tangled themselves up to often. They drug the tires & rims around like they weighed nothing. Didn't have the extra money in our budget for a wireless fence and collar system. Eating the remaining of the garden was the last straw so to speak. It was either sell them or let my husband fill them full of holes...........at least i am 150 dollars richer now. Thanks for everybody's help and advice.

does anyone have any advice on keeping our goats out of the garden and flower beds? we had them fenced in high powered electric fencing, but they just run right thru it like it doesn't bother them. hate to have to sell them, as they were gifts to my son from my grandfather before he passed away. just hate them eating all my plants!

thanks............
