[Cob] cob stable

[Joe Skeesick]

I doubt highly that a goat would chew or crib on cob walls at all. 
However, they are big on leaning/scratching on every available surface 
so any weak structures will be tested in time just from them scratching 
themselves on them. In my buck's case that's nearly 300lbs of goat 
pressing against the walls and fencing... make em thick.
