Well my friend, I think part of the problem is I have no self-preservation instinct when it comes to livestock. My mom would often find me in the middle of a herd of horses or down amongst the cows, lol!

Goats are ridiculous when it comes to keeping them in. If I were ever to have goats again it would be in an open range in the scrub brush sort of scenario lol, just me, the herd, and a couple of LGD's. This is gonna crack you up, but my cows are kept in by 1 strand of hot wire. That said, I have had some athletic, pain in the butt ones that have been culled out of the herd. Every one that I have now is slow, chunky, good-natured, and super easy going. They don't test the fences and if they did/do get out, they would go to my dining room window and bawl at me.

We had katahdin hair sheep at one time, I enjoyed them a lot:) For some reason I can totally see you getting a steer at some point😊
