It is now -9, dark and the wind is howling! We get out to the bucks barn and try to turn on the lights. The word here is "try to". The bucks were busy, first they ate the sheet of paper with the battery info on it. In the picture you can see what was left. Then they chewed the wires for the radio and the lights. Thankfully they stopped before they got to the solar controller. We think they got a shock from the battery. Peter tries to get into the tractor barn to get tools to fix it. The locks were frozen solid and the torch would not stay lit. Goat on a stick was sounding very good by now. 45 minutes later, Peter got the lights working. The radio would have to wait for replacement parts before it would work again. The moral of this story is goats love wires and NEVER leave anything open!
