If there was such a competition I think I win ::) Hercules has started jumping up onto the ledge above the kicking boards in the stables and running round and jumping into Annabel's pen so that he can steal her food. Now where is that curry sauce

I'm still gobsmacked that he managed to get up there and move!

Mine look well behaved in comparison. However I have only had them a month :goat:

There's nowt so sure footed as a goat! :roflanim: . I remember seeing a couple years ago that spent a part of their days galloping up and down the length of a dutch barn roof - 50 feet up! The noise from the corrugated iron was horrendous, they seemed to love it. Their way up and down was by jumping up on a wall, running along and jumping up on a shed roof which was next to an office on the end of the barn, onto the office roof and from there leaping onto the sloping roof of the barn and then charging up the slope and finally up to the ridge! :o They never missed a footing or fell off going up or down.

Now don't go giving him ideas

Not quite a dutch barn but a steading!!

He's lovely clydesdaleclopper ,they are so cheeky and always amaze you what they will do next. When I was a child I found one of our two goats at the time inside a tractor along with collie dog not to my Dads amusement - the same goat also could open the house door run to the kitchen table gobble the sugar out of the bowl and out before my Dad was chasing her out.

I 'used' to have one who'd jump the gate out of the field into each pen in turn to steal other goats supper and out to the next one as I approached. Finally back into the field shelter for her supper with the other teenagers in her group.
I was going to keep them over the summer and send them for meat in September. They went a couple of weeks ago, it was driving me nuts spending 1/2 an hour each evening giving them their buckets.
Life's so much easier without her.

A nearby goatkeeper has one who had a kid when she was not much more than a baby herself. The owner couldn't understand it as her billy was kept shut in a separate part of the shed and couldn't have got to her. In the end she concluded that the little one had gone through a window opening about 18 inches square and about five foot up to get into her daddy and the kid was the result. She was a great milker though.
