Sokel - that's really good - I have several nutty animals like that, cat the loves the GS but not particularly reciprocated - glad there's a truce for the time being.

Still harmony here, the horse was out on the drive today while i mucked out and I let the goat out aswell, I thought she would have headed straight for the goat shed but she didnt, she went off down the drive and stayed with the horse untill I brought them both in  :thumbsup:

Maybe she just doesn't like other  :goat: ? Hopefully she will settle down, it would be a shame to have to eat her.... :(

It would be a shame to have her destroyed (whether you eat her or not).


Which goat is your herd boss sokel?

Cherry is the herd leader and I think the problem started to get worse when bell started to bully cherrys 2 daughters
Cherry jumped in to protect them even though they where 15 months old and apple who is cherrys sister and second in command jumped in to help out
It then got worse as bell challenged cherry and all h*ll broke out

Things are so peacefull at the moment I can't see any reason why we should change things
