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.

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.
