Attention Goat Owners

[TerryMiller]

Now's not really a good time, what with the TORNADO that's coming from Chickasha.

Not a problem...

... I'm 78 years old and have lived all but a few years in Oklahoma and have never put eyes-on a tornado. Thus, I must be a "tornado deflector." But, we could do it another time. Wife and I are retired and have plenty of free time.

There was an F1 that hit Noble last spring. I got video of it forming up near Bridge Creek with the inflow tail due west and then to rotation and rain curtains passing over the house and between us and Hwy 4. Closest so far. This one's tracking right so keep your shelter open and weather eye skyward!

Yes, I have used spools in the past until they finally rotted on the bottom.

Get some pressure treated deck boards to screw on to the bottom. No more bottom rot. I built several for our gun range that lasted for many years. No contact with the dirt will keep them rot free.

Besides having them to jump up on , etc.....I removed a couple of the inner boards leaving a 'cave' that the smaller goats love to go inside.

PS ...you may need to cover a hole or 2 on the surface so a hoof doesn't go into while they are 'sparing' ending up breaking a leg, etc.

Any electrical CO-OP has them. Cimarron ELectric in Kingfisher. Anadarko, Woodward, Stillwater, etc.
