[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1848887, member: 18945"] Decades ago, while visiting my parents near Houston , I was telling my father about our home up near Caldwell and told my dad our yard was fenced with 5' tall chain link and a nice saint augustine lawn but I didn't have a lawnmower yet. My father decided, just we were leaving that my kids need a pet and hog tied a little goat he had acquired at the Salebarn for some reason and slid her into the back of my station wagon. I don't know what kind of goat it was. "[B]Now, you won't need a lawnmower, she'll keep that grass clipped down for ya"[/B] Wrong. Ate the rosebushes, ate the hibiscus, ate the little sago palm, climbed up a leaning tree and was up on the roof eating leaves off the chinese tallow. Otherwise, was walking around in belly high grass and never ate a mouthfull. Final straw was coming home from work one day and found it had pushed thru a window screen, had eaten the inside potted ivy and every other plant in the house, got into the kids boxes of cereal, left goat berries all over and then started in munching on the couch cushions. That was the end of the goat. Ran into a friend of mine Gary Sabora that ran a little rodeo pen in Deanville and asked where I could get rid of a goat and he took it for kids to rope in the weekend rodeo. Lawn mower was a cheap investment and gave the kids a weekend chore to keep 'em out of trouble. [/QUOTE]
