Know how you feel.  Is there life after goat?  Don't think I want to find out.  :goat:

doris (the brown one ) is the naughtiest, greediest creature ever. millie (black one) is very reserved, will occasionally nibble at my hair or clothes and likes to make sure her security stick (small well chewed blackthorn branch) is at close hand  ??? and enid (the creamy horned one) is far too regal for any such nonsense, if she thinks you're watching. if she doesnt know you're there she does the most amazing acrobatics of the huge mound we have in their enclosure.
the mound is great made of rocks and topsoil (about 15 foot at its tallest) they absolutely adore playing on it and dust bathing in it? i never know goats dusted themselves in dry warm soil, but these guys do on every sunny day.  :goat: :goat: :goat:

My girls are in a yard so no room for a mountain but we do have a mini-mountain of breeze blosks which they enjoy and it helps keep their hooves down as well.  :goat:

I'm curious - was it 'built' for the girlies of left over building 'stuff' :)

it was originally waste that was dumped on the land i rent before i started to rent it. it was to one side of the goat paddock. both them and i used to gaze at it longingly and in the end i moved the stock fencing round it. you should have seen them when they came out of their house the next morning and realised they could actually get to the hill!
they spent the next forever playing 'king of the castle'  :love: :goat: :goat: :goat:
