Good morning all. Been a few days since I stopped in, still fighting whatever cold is going around, so going to try and take it easy this morning. Hope y'all have a wonderful day.
Ugh me too! Everyone around me keeps getting sick.

This year I keep hearing people talk about how bad winter is going to be. How do you tell? We’ve had animals for about 8 years, I think I should have learned by now. But I have noticed my goats have extra extra thick coats right now.
Speaking of coats, what can I use as a goat coat for a medium goat? I have one who always seems to get a touch of hypothermia.

Anything full on plastic is best. (Polyester or whatever synthetic)

You can get a sweater from a thrift store, but they do sell coats specifically for goats.

Or maybe she just needs a warm spot to sleep?

We once had kids in nasty cold... I put a heating pad duct taped into a freezer ziplock in cardboard box filled with hay and a fleece lap blanket (all synthetic). They snuggled in there whenever they were cold, then popped back out when they warmed up.

Good morning. I already drank up the coffee, but I'll make more for y'all. LOL LOL The local news hyped up a rain storm coming through, and as usual, nothing.
