Herding



NIGEL:
As the goats eat down the grass (& trees!!) in their main filed, we have been herding them into the smaller field to graze. This isn't as easy as it looks when you don't have a fence to keep them away from the trees you want to keep & keep in good condition. The goats not only eat the leaves & small branches... the eat the bark off. They pull large strips off which ultimately kills the tree. As a result... I have built yet another fence...so we now have 4 small paddocks for them to rotate in.
