Do you know if that's true?<br /><br />Kate - I hope to be done with the thing by the weekend, and I've got some other peeps coming over Sunday, but thanks anyway!Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712893867575841432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-66780224085123189942010-05-11T08:31:26.019-04:002010-05-11T08:31:26.019-04:00Jordan, the ass*ole who put together this "ki...Jordan, the ass*ole who put together this "kit" is talking crap when he says it takes 30 to 40 hours to put together -- easily double -- I know, I saw it!<br /><br />But 30 to 40 hours isn't nothing. With working a full time job, and all the other commitments you have, that is going to take some time!!<br /><br />If you want some help next Sunday (16th), I can head back to NY via your place, with my dog, and help out (if the dogs cooperate, or he can sit in my car).<br /><br />Just let me know. Otherwise, I will head back Monday (city trash night), but I am flexible.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478104766635836508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-70348439299692954912010-05-10T14:39:22.195-04:002010-05-10T14:39:22.195-04:00Trying to remember who gives their critter carrot ...Trying to remember who gives their critter carrot coins (slices) as treats and the routine has been set that they come running when they see them.Karen Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189370281390432351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-79928936257665071882010-05-10T11:21:54.238-04:002010-05-10T11:21:54.238-04:00Goats will respect an electric fence (usually) and...Goats will respect an electric fence (usually) and know immediately when it goes off. A fence that is 3D actually is the best goat fence (if there is such a thing :) We have meat and milk goats and have had as many as 400 does around at one time. Make sure you keep them away from any tree you value. Trees are a gourmet buffet to a goat. But, be prepared because they will get out -- I once had an older gentleman tell me to build the best fence I could, then throw a bucket of water through it -- if the water went through so was the potential for the goat to get through.<br /><br />By the way, I really do love our goats (especially the milk ones).<br /><br />Hope you have a great day!
