Rage Against the Trees

So, the littles are still afraid of the new girls. No amount of cajoling seems to be working and the littles have worked themselves into a nervous wreck. My mother and I have come up with an alternate plan.

I figured, goats are simple minded. Out of site; out of mind, right? So, I'm moving them far way so they aren't tempted to try and get to the littles and the little can not have to think about the apparently frightening big girls. My aunt's side of our property is in need of a little weed-eating, and since that is the reason I originally got the goats and the portable panel fencing we are going to give it a try.

I started with setting up 10 of my portable dog kennel panels around a dense privet/poison ivy/weedy tree:
 
Two days later:
 

All that's left are a couple of bare vines to be thrown away. And, the goats have stayed put.
 
On to the next area.
 
Eat little goats, eat...
