We have been using electric fencing to keep our Kiko goats in all spring and summer, moving them at least once a week or more often to make sure they have plenty of food to eat. We don’t have goat proof perimeter fencing, some areas have no fencing at all. We are working to remedy that problem, but have had pretty good luck so far.
Suddenly it was fall. The leaves started to change colors into a beautiful world. A beautiful world where the goat’s favorite foods (brambles and woody plants) are losing leaves. The goats suddenly had to be moved every other day, they would eat every edilble thing they could find, and fast! We were watching the goats and their food supply closely, but one Wednesday afternoon when Travis and I went to move the goats, the goats were gone!
