The ultimate cause of all spiritual depression is unbelief. For if it were not for unbelief even the devil could do nothing. It is because we listen to the devil instead of listening to God that we go down before him and fall before his attacks. That is why this psalmist keeps on saying to himself: “Hope thou in God for I shall yet praise Him…” He reminds himself of God. Why? Because he was depressed and had forgotten God, so that his faith and his unbelief in God and in God’s power, and in his relationship to God, were not what they ought to be. We can indeed sum it all up by saying that the final and ultimate cause is just sheer unbelief.

Hi MaryLynn,

Welcome to the group.
What kind of goats did you have before? I must be so lucky, we have had
goats for 5yrs, and I have never had a fence jumper. We just put up a new
little barn last year and have a small fenced yard for them. We use 5' page
wire(small holes on the bottom getting bigger to the top) and no one has
escaped so far.
What are you wanting goats for? If you are not planning on milkin them you
might want to consider angoras. They are usually(there is always the
exception) quieter, and gentle compared to dairy goats. The only down fall
is you will have to shear them 2X a year. They are meatier than a dairy if
you like to eat goat, and don't require as much grain feed.
If you just want a meat goat, boers are a good idea. They too are very
quiet, and I am told too heavy to be fence jumpers. They can be real beefy
looking, and while 100% boers are expensive, 1/2's can be bought at a
reasonable price.
