Operation Electric Fence was a success. I PANICKED at first! After all that work, We put Rosie in and she immediately just slipped through the fence. BUT, I think she got so far before it shocked her and she did now know what was happening that she just slipped through. Poor Daisy got a shock in the booty while eating and looked so confused. Super Mike though ran from us. We had to run and run after him. He seemed to know what was going on. Levi tried to rope him to no avail. We tried food. We tried everything. THEN... he happened to run into his crate, that had no door. We flipped it upright. Then found the gate and had to use a dolly to get him in. He is heavy.
The kids played with the electric fence by touching it with grass. Then Silas and Ruby held hands and touched it. They will not do that again. Owie.
I will take pictures tomorrow. It looks like one of the natural habitat things you might see in a zoo. The area is 1/2 in the woods, 1/4 light shade, 1/4 in the field. Lots of leaves for Super Mike to root through and then in the middle are these HUGE slate boulders stacked up from when they built the house. It is a goat paradise. I think they will get accustomed to it quick. I will no longer have big pig turds in my yard and huge areas of grass that Mikey roots up (I should take a picture, dude can do some major damage) and I can have a flower garden!!!
So excited!
