What) Now, it must be said that the most kick-assingest goat tower is the one at the Fairview Wine and Cheese Estate in Paarl, South Africa, because it was the first goat tower ever constructed, back in 1981. But the goat tower with the most kick-assingest name is the Tower of Baaa, in Findlay, Illinois, a scant 131 miles from St. Louis via I70.
The Tower of Baaa is a labor of love, constructed by farmer David Johnson, for his herd of 34 Saanen milk goats. It is 31 feet tall, 7 feet in diameter, made entirely from 5,000 hand-sculpted bricks and topped by a copper roof, steeply pitched to keep birds from roosting. The tower has six floors, which the goats navigate via 276 concrete steps that spiral up the outside wall. There are three openings on each side.
"Goats are
the most curious animals in the world so they use the tower a
lot," Johnson told Farm Show magazine. "They come and go,
passing each other on the ramp as needed." Farm Show reports
that there have been no goat casualties as yet. In the winter,
Johnson uses a portable torch to melt ice on the steps. (1)
Where) Wolf Creek Road From Findlay, drive east four miles on Hwy 3. Turn right onto Wolf Creek Rd/CR 2500E toward Wolf Creek Park. Drive 1.5 miles. The Tower will be on the left.
Why) When I
put this tower on the list I knew it was a 1.5 hour drive out
of our way but I thought that Pam might be tempted to
authorize it anyway. When it started snowing on our last night in
St. Louis I knew we wouldn't be going here but the pictures I
found are worth showing to you.
