    I think you are correct.
    Goats tend to jump up on anything and everything. And they will butt the heck out of you if you let them (I carried a whip).
    I would reach through the fence to grab the food bowl, and he would pin my arm against the fence, to the point where you were stuck until he decided to relent and give you your arm back.
    Their necks are incredibly strong, perhaps 10 times stronger than a dog's neck.
    We brought ours into the kitchen, and turned our back for half a second, and there he was standing in the middle of the kitchen table, without making a sound and without disturbing anything on the table.
    Outside he would jump up on top of garbage cans, etc., anything to get to higher ground.
    And they will fight each other for the high ground.

    They remove the horns from the Oberhasli because they are milk goats, and they will butt a hole in the udder with a horn.

    Sheep seem to be happy to just walk around eating like a lawn mower, without all the jumping and such.

    Rural Arkansas (I travel through there often) has lots of small tractors for sale.
    John Deere's, Farmalls, etc.

    LMAO... I've never seen Shaun the sheep. Reminds me of Wallace and Grommit. We are watching the Doc Martin shows now, hilarious.

    On a side note it turns out that the guy I bought the tractor off of has a blacksmith shop in NE MD. Soon as I get some free time I am going to go take a tour of his shop, and maybe do a shop tour video.

  13. Is that slasher not rusted from underneath?, I saw a guy who lost both feet when he stood on top of one while it was running: one foot went through the rusted top and when he braced his other foot against the metal it went through too and got chopped off. Not saying yours is that bad but I will never look at a slasher the same way again after seeing that guy.

    Nice purchase. That bucket will come in handy as would be a pair of long forks for moving MACHINERY around!

    Best,

    Thanks! The image of that one made me puke a little!
     
  18. That just proves you have an excellent ability to visualize things, very important for creative types. Thing was the lethal slasher looked only a little rusty from the top, all of the corrosion was from underneath.

    My friends son was horsing around near by and ended up under it. 20 yrs old. Lost both legs above the knees. I have fond memories growing up riding on the fender. It makes for nice pictures, but is a really bad idea. Stuff happens quick.
