Friday Morning Look At My Neighborhood Goatscaping


This morning, before the sun arrived to do its daily illumination duty, I read an article in Texoma's Homepage about my new neighbors, a big flock of vegetation chewing goats.

After reading the article I updated yesterday's My Wichita Falls Neighborhood Invaded By 100s Of Goats blog post about the goats.

When the sun finally arrived this morning, I looked out my bedroom window and saw no goats.

But, I had just read that the goat flock would be spending their nights penned in on Holliday Creek. So, I assumed they were on the side of the creek not visible to me from my window vantage point.

That the goats were there was confirmed when I saw people walking and biking on the Circle Trail, stopping to get their phones out to take photos of what I assumed had to be the goats I could not see.

So, I attired myself sufficiently for outdoor exposure and went to check on the goats.

This morning, I opted to photo document the warning sign advising CAUTION! due to an ELECTRIC FENCE.

I do not see how that fence could possibly be electrified. What's the power source? Where is the insulation keeping the wire from being grounded? Having been electrified by an electric fence, more than once, during my childhood years, I did not opt to touch the fence to test my theory that the fence was not actually electrified. 


 And here you see some of the goat flock, vertical and chewing the scenery after a good night's slumber.

In this morning's Texoma's Homepage goat article I learned that the Goatscaping scenery chewing is going to go on for several weeks.
