Here it is. We cut the (Pabst Blue) ribbon tonight in celebration of the goat shelter's completion. A palatial, 3-compartment, bachelor goat pad.
The branches in the outer "rooms" are freshly cut privet from over the fence. I'm hoping they, as well as the case full of Bermuda hay, are the only house warming gifts the goats need to get the hint.
Yeah, there's probably a better method of dispensing hay to goats. But I'd like to think my goats would be PBR drinkers if, you know, goats drank beer. Plus, the case was free. And at hand when the need for a feeding trough hit me.
I'm sure improvements will be made to the goat inn as the weeks go by. Current ideas include stacking leftover firewood along one or more sides to shield the interior from cool breezes. And, if there's room, it might be possible to squeeze one more palette under there. No rush though.
Rain's in the forecast for tomorrow, so we'll see how this thing stands up to the weather. And if the goats prefer it to under the deck. They better.
There's plenty more to write about, but Scott just called and said Dusty's head is being shaved. I'm sure you'll understand.
