I feel like I've moved back to Colorado! Two days of a dry snow with another storm due to move in tonight. It's not good for making snowmen or sledding - the only redeeming things for snow. I guess I should be happy for our hay fields. They'll love the full coverage of snow and what moisture and nutrients it holds.
My goats rarely see snow. This afternoon I took them out for about 45 minutes.
When I opened the gate they came out but weren't sure they wanted to.
Joules was my 1st goat. She's a mini Alpine. Her belly was dragging in the snow and in some areas she had to plow through like a bulldozer. The boys are all standard size so had no problem. She's a trooper.
One of their favorite places is the brush pile we have by the burn pit. Every time we cut down a tree or clear brush we pile it there to burn. Bourbon can strip a branch in two seconds. He knows just how to bite and pull. You can see the light color on the branch where he stripped it today.

They put themselves back to their pen when they decided they'd been out long enough. It's 19* with a 6* wind chill right now.
