"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

That goat is going to pop! Surely she has a baby or babies in there. She is just too chunky.

Well at least you know you have a substantial break in the fence. One of your goaties surely can’t slither through a small opening!

One morning you’re going to wake up to find them in your living room… Or more likely, the kitchen.

Haha! I have the same problem with my chickens…and find myself wondering, why do the slim, tricky, fast leghorns get out, and leave the waddling little friendly wyandottes that I so love to pet in the fenced yard? Arg! 😆

I suppose being rotund just have advantages for you. As Bonita said..
you surely can’t slither thru a small fence opening if you are built like a bowling ball! Then, of course, you could just lean against it and bulldoze your way out! I guess we will all be surprised to see if rotunda there pops out anything other than a cookie! :snoopy:

Oh, my word! After seeing the pathetic closeup view of 700 lb Nutmeg in your newsletter, I’m guessing she’s the culprit who plowed through the fence. All she’d have to do is lean on it and the others would follow through! Poor, poor girl! Maybe you should have a contest to guess just how many babies she has in there!!!
