Very cool!<br /><br />Goats do seem to be territorial. They always want to come back to the barn at night. Not sure what would happen if I had a few hundred acres though.<br /><br />Thanks for the referral!Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-5217022721887185162010-04-29T12:22:49.855-05:002010-04-29T12:22:49.855-05:00So cool Deborah!

Or do you have to heard them around, and then bring them back?<br /><br />I think I just created a job for myself, lol! I need the exercise, I can tell you that!<br /><br />Take care...Chef Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198603107302675448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-59102459729295233092010-04-28T21:42:18.605-05:002010-04-28T21:42:18.605-05:00WG4, you still need to keep them off the infected ...WG4, you still need to keep them off the infected pasture for 5-6 weeks! It's surprising that they can live that long. <br /><br />Michelle, there is something strange about Shetlands, because mine like trees too. My Old English babydoll, however, is a completely different story. I totally understand why they were "orchard sheep." It would be way too much work to reach up into a tree to get a leaf.Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-2920012621764138522010-04-28T20:23:49.521-05:002010-04-28T20:23:49.521-05:00That all makes sense.

ALL of them will stand on their hind legs to eat leaves and needles from the trees!)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-55763456746556261392010-04-28T20:15:37.371-05:002010-04-28T20:15:37.371-05:00Thanks for the info! 5 days - wow!

The problem is fencing.
