Title: Bill & Ben
Post by: HelenVF on June 18, 2012, 10:00:54 am

Not my choice of names but here they are on their first day outside.  We decided to put them in a smaller pen to get used to being outside and then once they are, they will go in the main paddock with our section A.

Awww they're so cute !
Funnily enough, the two castrated goats we're getting are also called Bill and Ben - must be standard issue goat names  ;)   :D
Enjoy your boys  :wave:

I watched them playing this morning so they seem to have settled down into their outside pen.

The dog bowl has a few pellets in just to tempt them into the pen.  I used it in the barn and I thought it would be a consistent thing with the stresses of being outside.
