Hello Everyone!
I live in Nome, Alaska and next year I am planning on starting my goat herd. I have never owned goats before but have lots of farming experience.. that is in Kansas where there are no bears!
So, I am planning on having an insulated container to lock them up in at night then put them in an electric fence through the day. I have two dogs that are great at keeping the pests out and plan to get a third to make the pack stronger. What other things can I do to keep these goats safe? The bears here are pretty good about staying away from people but are a pain when they come out of hibernation.
I just want to make sure I am prepared!
