Electrical work in England

When I had a dog it would bark and run around the goats and they would ignore the dog so bad it was almost neurotic.

And a verty real possibility in many areas including much of rural eastern New York, and quite a bit of the rural Carolinas, as well as much of the hollers of Kentucky and Tennessee (much of Appalachia) where the unregulated townships are (or at least were until VERY recently) quite common. I've heard stories of the "big man" in certain areas falling out of favour with the local population and having similar "industries" spring up across the road or next door - sometimes financed by the "big man" from the next county, or a local political opponent.

Takes a strong and brave dog to tangle with 2 or more billy goats. Worse, for the dog, than a herd of Texas Longhorns - and the goats know it.

It was a mutt. Bigger than a small dog, smaller than a medium size dog. During the day it barked at goats, they ignored it. It didn't bite. That dog would have a fit because goats and horses and everything else ignored it.

Barking during the day didn't bother me because I wasn't trying to sleep. At night horses would come over and it barked all night. The damn dog just would not shut up. I finally had to find it a new home.

Since my sheep dog died close to 20 years ago, I haven't found a dog that worked out. The sheep dog only barked when it actually needed to. When he barked at night I got up and knew something was wrong. He was a character, he was buddies with chickens, ducks, cats, and a goat I had for about a year. Goats eat everything they aren't supposed to eat, and won't eat what you want them to.

I guess zoning laws have not reached these precincts. Of course with the laws comes enforcement costs and manipulation and user fees...

A headstrong billy goat would have taught the mut a quick lesson - particularly if working alongside another headstrong Billy

Sounds like a bad cae of "small dog syndrome" "If it's bigger than me, it must be dinner"

Mr Ed cranked up on a couple of wild hogs a few weeks ago and when I called him off he was humping the bigger one. I was worried he might get gored but that was not the end of the hog he was interested in. They got the hell out of there as soon as he got off the big one.
