So I get to work today. The boss says "Before you fix fence, you and Ahren need to go put up a makeshift corral made of hog panels in the hay shed. We're gonna sell the little f*%!$rs (appropriate slang for a goat at work)." So we both made a shitty little corral that looked worse than an arabic petting zoo. The idea was: Trap said goats in half-assed corral, back up to "gate" with cattle trailer, sell goats for beer money. We get to the lot and build this corral, then the "fun" began. We herded the bastards up, and drove them into the corral. One escaped before we even got to it. The escapees kid decided to tag along, which I chased down and cornered. Meanwhile, we're watching the shitheads to make sure they dont jump the godforsaken fence. As Brent backed up, a nanny starts to push the sheet metal wall apart on or sorry ass hay shed, so I made a barricade of used tires. Anyway, we still havent found the Nanny that took off, so we sorted out the goats that Brents wife wanted. We had a trailer that has two compartments, so the back one got 5 nannies and 6 kids. To protect their bretheren, the goats all dogpiled in a corner and buried their kids, so I had the pleasure of throwing 16 goats in headlocks. Then one decides to put a horn right on my knee, so it got a bitch slapping. We get done fixing fence and feeding cattle and decide to head to the shop and watch the new Gelding team Brent bought in action. Then we notice 1 nanny and 3 kids making a break for it. Yeah...The found their way out of a perfect horse corral with 1 foot of tight chicken wire on the bottom. I have yet to figure it out. Once we get down with that near disaster, we went to check for calves. Got back and there's 2 more kids out! Fuck I hate goats!!!!!  |
