Goats don't like the snow, huh?

Our kikos certainly don't seem to mind! Nor the 11 wk old maremma puppy

Our ND and Pygmies don't seem to mind it either except today the wind is really blowing it around & below zero temp's so they are not coming outside much today.
Also if it is too deep they won't walk in it. We always shovel & snow blow ther pen's & DH plows & snowblows around outside their pen's too(we let them out twice everyday while cleaning) so they can walk around a little. I guess ours are just TOO SPOILED, that's our fault.
What a nice winter scene, I bet your goats like finding bark to chew on too.

That is a cool picture..were you outside? or is it from a window?
Mine don't mind the snow if it's packed down a bit. They will go out for a short time if it's snowing.
Here are some recent pics..they were playing

Its actually from the backdoor, so's to avoid glare and what not through windows They seem to really like it up there - lots of little trees, mortiflora rose and such to munch on, though they do hang out down in front occasionally too (where we can see them!!

I took mine for a walk around the yard last weekend to browse on some red oak leaves still on the limbs. The snow was up to their bellies but they didn't mind.
