Miss. Annabel is my naughty goat, shes alittle stubborn, shes an escape artist. When I take her to the pasture she finds all kinds of place to squeeze her fat crack out of & now this past week she has been gettin her head stuck in my neighbors fence & the pasture fence. I'll have to run out & save her before she really hurts herself or worse, the other day she did cut the edge of her ear. I didnt really have a clue what I was gonna do about this problem. Then I seen a pic on a fb group I visit from time to time... Goatwisdom. A lady has the same problem with some of her goats & she put "The Horns of Shame" on them... wonderful, they cant put their heads through the fence. So yesterday after gettin Annabels head unstuck twice she got "The Horns of Shame"... I have to say she looks really funny but its workin. Now dont worry it doesnt hurt her all it hurts is her pride ;)ps. Honestly she doesn't even care that they are on her, no big deal... she can still eat, drink & sleep just fine.
Better safe and silly than stuck!
ReplyDeleteHaha.
ReplyDeleteI can see she does not appreciate them. ;-)
Baaaad goat Annabel!!
ReplyDeleteI was going to do that with one of mine once but then she suddenly "got it" and quit putting her head through the fence!
Haha that's a cute picture of the "horns of shame" LOL!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this, but great idea if it works. I had a horned goat once that would just turn her head all the way sideways until it fit through. Every single day I had to pull her back out.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. You may have saved the silly goat's life.
