Title: Goat relocation
Post by: X-Force on June 29, 2019, 09:56:58 PM: It’s starting up in a week. My dad and I had day 2 as a transport day but had to give it up. Hopefully they can move a bunch of goats this year.

Hopefully it goes well for them and they are able to move a couple.

Post by: nwhunter on August 04, 2019, 09:42:26 PM: I believe they are doing one more capture in a couple weeks and that is the last one for this year. Next year I think the gunners are coming in unless common sense prevails...

They are scheduling goat transfer next summer as well.
