Hoofstock pen: Several areas of the wire fencing in this enclosure were in disrepair with gaps, loose wiring and sharp, protruding points within contact of the animals which could cause injury. At time of inspection, APHIS personnel observed that a baby goat was able to escape this pen and an adult goat with horns was able to put his entire head through the wire gaps in one corner. All enclosures must be kept in good repair and free of sharp, protruding points and gaps/openings in order to protect the animals from injury or entrapment and properly contain the animals. A system of timely identification, facility repair and maintenance must be in place. Correct by 07/12/2016. Exit interview was conducted with a facility representative.
