Q: Will a goat charge at you?

• <div><p>For the most part, goats are friendly and won&rsquo;t charge at you, but there are exceptions to this rule, as there are with any animal handling practices. Typically, goats don&rsquo;t attack unless they feel threatened. Avoid cornering or rough handling goats to avoid getting head-butted, bitten, or kicked, and always supervise goats when they&rsquo;re near children or pets.</p></div>

Q: What does it mean when a fence is wobbly?

• <div><p>A wobbly fence can be caused by a number of things, though poor installation is the usual culprit. It&rsquo;s always best to have your fence installed by a professional who can ensure the posts are placed correctly and that the chain links have the correct amount of tension. </p></div>

Q: Do I have to tell my neighbor I’m putting up a fence?

• <div><p>While most homeowners aren't required to tell their neighbors that they&rsquo;re putting up a fence, it's certainly a good idea to do so. Not only is it considerate to give neighbors a heads up about construction noise, but building a fence may limit your neighbors' access to their own backyards while building is taking place. </p><p> </p></div>
