Rural Gardening: Howard the Christmas Goat, 1 by lleighmay

Well, I got a bit ahead of my fencing but he needed a home that wouldn't eat him as he kept escaping from an acquaintance's yard and sleeping on his elderly neighbor's porch causing her to call the cops. He's a Boer, about 150 lbs, 1 1/2 yrs old, a pet, and raised with dogs. Oh, and unneutered and in rut but still seems easy to get along with. Totally against all advice for fairly novice goat owners but we'll make it work. He had to go immediately and so he's here as of last night on a 30 ft. chain with a deeply bedded stall in the wood shed and all the other comforts of home he wasn't really used to. Right now he's hanging out with the dogs but I'll get him some caprine companionship in the spring. Fencing commences after the holidays!
