Farm Vlog #007 Chicken Roundup, Naughty trickster goats!

What happens here

To actively re-train the goats, a scoop of goat feed (grain) is poured onto the ground just next to the electric fence line. The objective is to entice the goats to approach the food, and as they do, they will inevitably brush against the now-energized fence. This contact will deliver a memorable, yet non-injurious, electric shock, thereby teaching them to respect the fence and stay within their designated area. The pig also gets involved and receives a shock as part of this training.

Goal: Re-establish the goats' respect for the electric fence.
