I'm sure there are some people who have been waiting in anticipating for my pictures of the new lot. Well wait no more they are here! :weee This took us 3 weekends to get completed. Some of our holdups were because of weather and one holdup was because of some fence posts that didn't want to do what we wanted them to do!

First is the best shot I could get that captures the whole space pretty much. It was taken from the front porch.

This one shows the pen the goats are locked in at night. It was our chicken lot, but since we got rid of the chickens it is now the goat lot.

Finally a shot of DH working on the gate. This part was what we spent all weekend figuring out. The post wasn't wanting to line up right for it and DH had to redo it a couple times to get it right.

It's finally done though and the goats are enjoying having quadruple the space to roam. The kids enjoy watching the goats from the front door!

That is a wonderful fence project. I love that you can watch over your goats right from the house too. My grandkids would just love that!

My boys love being able to open the front door and watch the goats from the screen door. I think it's funny when you are watching them for a minute or two and the goats look up from grazing right and look right at you! They can be all the way down at the bottom of the hill by the road and look up at you like they are saying, "what are you looking at?" :lol:

I'm just waiting to see how amused the school kids will be when the bus comes tomorrow and the goats are out in the lot!

The bus kids should like it... I know I would if I was on the bus!

I can't take much credit for the fence. Most of the work was done by DH and FIL one Saturday. I did help put on a few clips, hold fence for staples to be put in, and hold a post up while DH poured cement. Also drove the SUV where we needed to have it to use it for stretching the fence! So most of the thanks goes to my DH. Lots of work and I am glad it is done. Now the next big thing for this place is getting the buck here that we are borrowing and having kids born here in the spring.
