Goats look at snow

Goats don't like wet toes.... we'll stay right here by the barn thank you!

Cinnamon in the forefront is the yearling doe that is blind in one eye, but oh so very sweet. Behind her to the left is naughty tri-colored Maybird, then Mary is partially obscured and solid white, then Maggie the herd queen is in the back to the right.

The dairy goats have the option of staying inside their barn. I wish the cows had the same luxury. Next year I really, really want to get a shelter built in the back pasture for the cows. I get miserable worrying about them when they get a good soaking, and then the temperatures plummet. They can handle the cold just fine, it's when they get wet that I think it is hard on them.
