Heads stuck in the cattle panels

11/28/2012

My goats can go for months without getting their head stuck in a cattle panel and then all of a sudden they all want to do it.  I have one buck that I did a very poor job of disbudding that has some bad scurs.  Honestly they are more like horns with flat ends.  He has been really good about not sticking his head through the cattle panels until this week.  We have had to cut him out of the panel everyday. Now he is rubbing off on my 2012 junior doelings.  Three of them had their heads stuck through one square  today.  One of them was choking and the other two just kept on eating while poor Cadoodle turned blue.  Luckily we had left the bolt cutters by the buck pen in case we needed to cut him out again.  One snip and a quick bending of the wire upward and they were free. Tomorrow one of them will probably get stuck in a different square.  Why can't they stick their heads through the square that has already been cut?
You should see the panel where I kept my LaMancha Buck, A TX Tornado.  Every single square had been cut to get him out at one time or another. We decided that he just wasn't very smart. Now the three doelings that were stuck this afternoon just happened to be his daughters.  Like father like daughter I guess.

Poor Cadoodle! Silly goats, I guess they have to find all kinds of ways to keep you busy.
