Wow, that looks awesome! Adorable goats too Having some jealousy issues over here, lol. My "kidding stall" is made from a 10x10 dog kennel with a roof and walls we made out of heavy duty tarps and our goat shelters are run-ins and a calf hutch. It works, but boy is your set-up nice!

If you got them all from the same place why are you keeping them separated? If they know each other they should be no fighting, well not much anyway

Aww your son looks so happy.
Celtic Knot/Joyful Morn are two herds run by a mother/daughter. The milkers are from Joyful Morn and the Nigerian is from Celtic Knot. Up until last Monday, the milkers were living at the mother's house. They moved them to the daughter's house last Monday because the mother's place is pretty much flooded at the moment and they wanted the girls to be able to get away from the mud before coming here. So, they tried putting them all together since they were all going to be living here, but that didn't work so well...the milkers didn't like the little one at all and the little one kept escaping trying to get back with her sister and mom. I'm planning on keeping them penned up and seperated but visible to each other in the barn for a couple of weeks before I let them out into the pasture together. I'm hoping that, by then, they'll all get along and I can remove the divider.

P.S. Yep...we're the ones with the octagonal chicken coop. Hubby is a bit over the top (but I'm keeping him!).

Isn't it wonderful knowing that your meals are coming from something you raised yourself. Last night I made pizza with a sourdough crust, tomatoes from last year's gardens, herbs from the herb garden and mozerrella cheese made fresh from our goats' milk. It was out of this world! Love what you did with the barn and your goats look wonderful. Congratulations on a job well done.

Ooooohhhh! Do I have a severe case of barn envy!

Is it covetousness if I don't necessarily want YOUR barn....just a barn LIKE your barn, but on MY place?

~sighs~ And you have some LOVELY goats to start filling it too!

Didn't get a picture last night. Jax and Jerry were riding the 4-wheeler around while I was milking (we have a silencer on the exhaust, so it was nice and quiet!). I didn't want to disturb their fun. Maybe tonight...
