Poor Goats

[Ga_goat]

We are in South Ga , no snow but have had some 19 to 22 degree nights and some freezing rain , pretty cold for 15 miles from Fl .

Thats what I do too!! In NH we've been lucky this year..we have not been slammed with snow!! (I better be careful, I'll jinxs myself) I only completely closed the barn one night so far!!! Goaties been out almost everyday!!

We've been lucky too in Southern Pennsylvania. Had over 2 feet by this time last year, only 4 inches on the ground with this storm. Yeehaw!

Warning to those with the snow and ice that your goats aren't used to - when you get better weather and let your goats out - watch out for scours. I have 2 that are 100% likely to scour after bad weather and getting to browse. Just saying...

What is scour? Sorry if it is a dumb question, new to goats

Thank you.

You're very welcome. Although I have to wonder what the heck they're going to be browsing on right now! Oh, I wish Spring would hurry up and get here already.
