Price of mohair

Goats are curious creatures with magical fiber, that said, they can be a pain in the butt. I found these heat lamps chewed into bits, these are not the ordinary cheap lamps, they are very nice and safe lamps. They were hanging about 6-7 feet high, on a board in the barn, I could barely reach them. Try to picture how these 90-100 pound does could get to them, standing on the barn floor looking up wondering if that was something tasty to eat, maybe they did like they do in the woods, an older, bigger doe will gurdle a small tree and it's a free for all to get to those tender leaves.Just can't figure it out, but someone was on someone's  back to reach those lamps.Last year I bought a barn camera to keep an eye on my does and ewes at lambing, thought it would save a few trips to the barn in the wee hours of the night. Lasted a few nights before Tanner found it and ate the wires into, guess they wanted their privacy.I spent several hours moving the reciever in the house before I decided it could be trouble on the other end.Now you know why the price of mohair is more than the price of wool,
