The goats have been living like they own the place. Pretty much free access with a couple of "off limit" areas -- the lawn, the flower garden, the vegetable garden. But as far as around the miscellaneous farm buildings... Well, let's say they have been encouraged to explore there boundaries -- and beyond.
All was well until neighbor who rents our grain bin unloaded the corn from the grain bin to be sold. There's no way that some corn won't be spilled, but honestly. There was no goat cry issued that said "COME AND GET IT". But come they did and let's just say the results of a sudden diet change was felt. Because I would call our fences more of a suggestion for the goats (they work great for the horses!) there was no stopping them except to lock them up in the cattle shed.
I don't want them locked up in the cattle shed. The kids are bored so they fill their time by eating ... MY precious goat milk. And therefore I went on a fence building rampage. Nothing can stop me! So let's assess the situation ... We're going to fence the south corral.
Looks like the old fenceline needs to be torn out.

And gotta tear out the old feedbunks ...
A little bit of goat proofing repair to the building. All right! Materials are purchased. Let's get started!
Of course, maybe we should have picked a day that it didn't rain! Plans have been thwarted momentarily, but I'm still on a rampage! But with the rain...we were in the house before 8 pm! I don't remember the last time that has happened!
Have a good night!
