I saw this and I am trying to convince OH  ;D  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goat_Tower
Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

You just want to wear your pointy princess hat and dance up and down it with them.  Don't they get dizzy?

I wondered what happens when two goats meet. Those horns take a fair bit of room up.

Looks good but I would stress that one would fall off the edge when they are butting eachother

Ah - but I can't see the base of the tower so perhaps it is surrounded by mattresses?
 
I'd like one except that I wouldn't want to brush all the steps every day like I currently do for all other goat-access areas!

Countrywoman - every evening when I'm brushing 'sweeties' I think of the video I saw somewhere with a lady using a 'Henry' to hoover them up - I hardly get our 'Henry' out in the house  :innocent: :innocent:

Wow!  My goats would love this.  Don't fancy the sweeping though.
