Has anyone got any toys in their goats area for them to climb on? looking for one of those big wooden spools for mine

[colliewoman]

Yup! I have one of those wooden cable drum thingies. A pallet platform topped with  marine ply, 2 huge great tree root/stumps and I built 'goat henge' out of slabs of rock. sounds terribly impressive bit isn't but they like bouncing on whats left


All time favourite though, my goat spot is what used to be the local farmers dumping ground for subsoil and harcore. We have a mound of it about 15-20 feet high. He said he would bring the JCB and get rid of it for me, instead I asked if I could run their fence round it. They spend all day on their mountain and even dustbathe on it in summer. I didn't even know goats dust bathed!

My young goats loved jumping on the hay feeder N have pretty much broken the lid! I dug out the new field shelter and piled it in the field and they love climbing on it. Only a few feet high but as I have to dig out patio I might just add to it and maybe put some grass seed down.


I would like one of those cable reels but not sure where to get them from

??dust - what's that then??

[colliewoman]

Once a year when I do my house work I take a wheelbarrow of collected dust down to the goats


No, the mountain is the only bit that doesn't actually squelch at the moment. But is IS dusty in the hot sun.  We had that for about 3 weeks last year sometime!

I got mine from the scrap pile after the festival, I got enough timber to make my goat shed too!

Mine have a bench to jump on but the favourite is a small pile of breeze blocks.  Pom spends hours just standing on it with her front legs higher than the back.

[jaykay]

I've got a couple of those all-in-one picnic benches and seats. The kids and the adults all love playing on them 

[Dogwalker]

My goats are very deprived then, they've just got a field or two and stock fencing.

MIne had a long, coffee table (wooden and iron) that thye jump on. Sixpence used to bounce on a mini trampoline but is too huge now.

todays game though was see who can annoy Lisa the most - Savannah broke the gate that joins the 2 goat paddocks together and Sixpence got through a hole that only he can in the adjoining paddock and joined the sheep for a bit. Fedup.com
