Manger danger
Of course the goats wanted to
be on top of the new manger.
The thin plywood lid was
collapsing when they stood on it, which could be a safety issue if they
fall the wrong way.
Adding some 2x4's for support
makes it more standable.

I would not woory about them falling off , my goats use my tractor as a playground if i leave it where they can get at it (ruins the paint job ) "sure footed as a mountain goat " is very true !they can easily standing jump onto a medium size tractor wheel ( 5 / 6 foot ) , now getting their heads stuck in a cattle pannel is another thing , once or twice a year here in TX i stop on the road to untangle a goat from a fence , dehorning makes life a lot easier .
