Neighbor dropped off some empty reels from the electric co-op.
They do love to climb..I’ve been surprised that they have stayed in so long without escaping. I didn’t realize how different they are from cows. Cows graze the grass..the goats WANT the weeds.
I’m sure you know this, but don’t tie them out to graze. My neighbor had one and no fence. So, they tied him out on a long tether to graze amongst the trees. (This was when I lived in Washington State at the edge of 1000 acres of State Forest.) Feral dogs attacked the poor goat and killed him. He could not get away.
Did I mention that these neighbors were not the brightest bulbs in the box?
Did I mention that I have a soft spot for goats, even if I don’t want to raise one myself?
Your empty reels sound perfect. The farmers around here will nail together all kinds of scrap to make Rube Goldberg climbing structures for the goats. It’s fun to watch them. It’s probably the parents of the 4H kids who do this. Even the city kids will have a goat, or two, living at a nearby farm as a project for 4H. There are days that I wish that I were younger so that I could have a goat too.
