This is one of those questions, I had to read about 5 times, and I'm still not sure I got it worded right :)

I'm going to go with my goats in the neighbor's garden... because I don't like goats, and I would have no problem getting rid of them to appease my neighbor.

We had gots and found out that dear hubby is not a goat person.

We will never have goats again so send that other person's goats into my garden.

Depends what time of the season! They could be a big help or a big hurt...either way I guess someone's goats in my garden seems better.

Ohh boy, what at tough question.

I think I would rather someone else's goats in my garden because depending on the situation I know that I am quite empathetic towards mistakes that happen. That is not guaranteed if its your goats in a strangers garden!

Easy.  someone else goats in my garden.  Wyoming a fence out state for cattle and horses but everything else is fence in meaning I can collect damages rather than pay for damages.  Not only that but any liability is on them to for goats.

Their goats in my garden.
This is really a tough question, and I think it's really asking which mess would you rather be responsible for taking care of?
I'd rather be responsible for fixing my garden than fixing someone else's garden that my goats got loose in.

I think.

This one is HARD, wow.

Would you rather have your neighbor's goats get loose in your garden or have your goats gets loose in your neighbor's garden?
