The girls go out to the pasture in the morning around 8 am, go back to their barn around 10:30 or so, then after 4 pm, go back out again; and back to the barn for the night at 7 or 8pm. All this back and forth is because they lose their shady spot by the gate and get pretty hot. John came up with a temporary idea of a canvas tarp for shade - so we can keep them out there for the day - until he can get around to the nine-gazillionth thing on his farm list of building a lean-to building to guard against the elements.
She's a bit on the ugly side, but she works. I'm talking about the tarp.
The goats needed some coaxing to get under there, but after standing with them for a while, they figured it out. I brought them a bale of straw to spread out, but they began to eat it, so I left it for them to snack on. Funny how they are just as interested in eating the straw as they are the hay! I don't get it.
