Recently while doing evening chores, Ember thought the hay we had given her was not of the high quality that she was used to, so she took things into her own hooves. She jumped into the "penalty box", AKA the enclosed area around the barn sump pump. You see the old waste hay that has been sitting there for over a year insulating the top of the sump was so much better than the fresh hay she just got from us. So there she stood looking at us from behind the wooden slats.
She found out two things that day. First, the hay on the other side is not greener. Second, OK how do I get back out of here. We reached over and both of us pulled her out. She has not tried it since. She is not a dumb goat!
