Pictures from our morning walk. This is the heaviest snowfall we've had so far.

Looks like they're having a blast! Gorgeous goats by the way, what breed are they? Very healthy and robust looking!

They are mixed breed goats. Primarily Boer/Nubian and one doe has a percentage of Pygmy in her. Yes, they are quite ample goats. No lack of food here!

Great pictures... very peaceful looking area to walk in. My goats pretty much refuse to come out of the barn when it's snowing... they hate getting wet.

It is a peaceful area to walk. I take my goats for a walk every day. Most of my property is wooded so there is plenty of browse to eat. They will go out in the snow and even a slight drizzle. The only weather they hate is pouring rain. In their pasture they have a day shelter so they know that when they are there, they will have cover should the weather turn bad.
It's like taking 5 large dogs for a walk except I don't have to say anything to them. They just follow me wherever I go.
