Goats are playful animals. Â If you have never spent any time around goats, I urge you to change that. Â I love to interact with them and watch their antics! Â If you are ignoring them when they want to play, they will sometimes just bump right into you until you start paying attention to them. Â Goats also love to climb and jump. Â I once witnessed one of our goats trying desperately (but unsuccessfully) to climb a tree to get to the leaves she had her eye on, and I saw our youngest goat literally jump into the crotch of a tree to get a better vantage point yesterday!
Like many goat owners, we have recognized a need for our goats to have some “specialty goat toys.” Â
The Goat Playground
We dug holes and “planted” tires in the ground. Â The goats love to jump from tire to tire!
My husband brought home a wire spool from work.
Our kids outgrew their slide, but the goats didn’t! Â They seem to enjoy knocking it over!
Keeping goats busy, fed and entertained goes a long way towards keeping them contained. Â Goats are notorious for breaking out of their fences, but the happier they are inside your fence, the less likely they are to try escaping! Â Take a look around your yard. Â I bet you can find something for your goats to climb on that won’t cost you a dime!
