After further consideration, especially what Fullhousefarm said, we have revised our initial fencing plan. It's going to cost us more up front because we are running more, but it seems to make more sense. Putting a double gate facing the house in section 1 and section 2. That way we can get in with a tractor, truck or whatever.
Had a young helper today clearing the lines in the wooded area to run the fence. My old back is really killing me. . Does in 1 and bucks in 2. Of course, now my new neighbors will get to smell the bucks. I'm going to put their house as far away from them as possible, but their house is awfully close to the property line. Oh, well you live in the country.....

We've got a big weekend of moving ahead.
Seems my ready to go goat house isn't so ready to go.

The roof on it is that corrugated plastic or fiberglass stuff you can get from Lowes. Well, there was a hole I knew needed repair, but after looking at it closer I've got to tear the whole thing off. Going back with galvanized.

And very exciting news. Going to NC Promised Land in Kinston NC on Friday to pick up a 5 month old female Great Pyrenees.

Good luck moving! We've gotten all our animals since we moved, but have had to do all our fencing and barn building. Fun, fun.

I'm currently planning our next goat pen. Just haven't told the chief fence- builder that yet. I won't need it until December... when babies start coming.

Don't forget to get the heat barrier to go under the tin before you put it on! I will make a big difference in the summer!

Got the pup. Breeder was calling her "Angel". Not sure how crazy I am about that name. "Trouble" seems to fit better.:)
