When goat breeders say goats love to find ways to get hurt, we mean it. Our example from this weekend. While I was getting ready for the next show. Things move fast, so you have to get goats switched quickly. All of a sudden one of the kids in our group came running, saying a goat was stuck and travis needed me. I go running thinking a head got stuck in the pen (we were in the fair pig barn, the bars are wide enough for some goat heads). I was wrong. Roisin got all the way through to her hip bones. We had to pull her back through, which was not an easy task. I didnt know how she got that far through in the first place. Her shoulders were a tight fit and i am still amazed she got them through in the first place. She was stressed. We were hot, stressed, etc. I pulled her back end and travis and a friend guided her front end. We got her out and made it to show the yearling milkers witch gave roisin enough time to recover for her 2 year old milker show.
