Nice to hear everything went so well @NH homesteader !
Lots of snow melted here as well. I managed to get my ~300' of sheep and goat fence over to the southwest corner post (it will run north from there). Kind of half on a plastic sled, half off (sideways). Even though it was only sort of half on, the sled prevented the ground from getting too ripped up. I needed the snow to be mostly gone, the garden tractor happily gets stuck in snow even with chains and the rear weight.

Thanks. No more injuries! I'm happy I didn't add any of those free chickens I almost had. I still have two separate flocks but I did have three.
Bruce how do the alpacas feel about the snow? My goats are thrilled it's gone lol!

They don't seem all that interested in being out in the snow. I've not seen them roll and play in it like I've seen in some YouTube videos. Thankfully they are still using their outside "latrine" even though it meant going through snow to get to it.

My goats get over it as winter goes on and start rolling in it. Maybe your guys will have fun yet haha!
I wish goats had one poo spot. They just drop it everywhere...

You could always trade them in for some gelded alpacas!

Somehow I don't see that happening
I may have convinced my husband to get rid of our extra roo and have one flock of chickens. That would be nice.

The one on the far right looks like it could be a identical twin to the ND i sold a few months back.

Haha! That's OK. That's Peppermint. I can't wait to see how she milks. My husband actually picked her out and she is my loudest and most insane goat. Also most entertaining. Her sister Patty (the white one), I picked out. Then I showed him the pictures and he said he liked her better... So I got both

So your trick to getting extra animals is to like the second most attractive goat???
