went to see our new goats and they look lovely 2 Golden sisters - they are coming to there new home in September, when I have finished building the barn - so far the barn has cost me £2 in new screws.
 
will tell when they arrive

[Roxy]

Well, you certainly cannot complain about the cost of the barn.....I am sure your new girls will love their new home.

[bangbang]

 :thumbsup:on your new goats!
Keep us all updated on your barn - really interested in it's construction / materials / and cost.
pics too!

That's exciting - I'm excited for you, goats are fab.

I got my two goldens last september and spent this time last year frantically getting goat house and fencing done so I know how you feel - bet you can't wait for yours to arrive!  Worth getting the barn ready first, of course, so then you can spend more time with them while they get used to their new home.
 
And make sure you plan ahead for next year - I didn't intend to keep more than two but now there are three...

My OH said I could only have one and now I have three.

[sokel]

look forward to hearing all about them and your Barn

  we had 3 for years then went for 1 more to make it up to 4 and came home with 3  so a new 30ft x 10 ft  goat shed had to be built extra quick 
 since then we have lost 2 oldies but had 2 nanny kids born in april 2011 and although we where not keeping them they are still here 
then we have just added a Boer into the herd

The OH has already tried to get me to agree to a Donkey (don't know why) see just loves them.  but we will keep with the two goats and then see
 
Will publish photos of the barn and its costs - not taking into account the weather.

Goats are addictive - the more you have, the more you want.  Donkeys are sweet too.  I'd be tempted if I had a field.

Totally! I wish I had another couple of acres! We moved here thinking the garden was MASSIVE, not now!

[omnipeasant]

You cannot have just one donkey, but don't worry, I have two for sale

[Lesley Silvester]

Wish they'd fit in my garden.

Hi to you all here is an up date on the goats, they are due to be picked up on the 28 Sept and move them in to their new home photos attached. Have been busy.
 
The barn is 30ft x 12ft and is made from pallets, the milk stand is also from pallets and the cover is stable rubber from freecycle (brill site to get stuff) total cost for the lot and fencing £90 plus approx 18 hrs over 2 weeks (body and weather kept braking down)
 
will up date when they arrive
 
OH has already named then Dandelion & Burdock  (i am from Yorkshire and love the drink)

[goosepimple]

Well done you, that's fantastic and very nice to be organised before they arrive (unusual in our book).  They will repay you in many ways I am sure.


Watch that roof in the
