Your preaching to the choir here. We actually snow blow whole areas in the fields for the animals. We also remove all snow from under the overhangs off the barn. My little dog also has to be given an area to go to the bathroom if it gets deep. Not to mention that I need to be able to walk to from the house to the barn without injury.

Wedon't get snow, but if we did I most certainly would. So if that makes me a little crazy, then I'm happy to be part of the crazy gang.

The back side of the shovel may be used on your neighbor.

Yes, I fully understand and shame on your neighbor! She's just jealous that she doesn't have goats, guaranteed. Fortunately we have a huge vintage dairy barn and our goats are enclosed in that, so I don't have to shovel snow!

While we don't have goats, yet, we do snowblow trails in the yard to get to the dogs' favorite poop area and a trail to the chicken coop and shed. We then shovel an area in the chicken coop yard, about 10' x 15'. Once all of that is done, will then get to work on the driveway and front walk.

We have been getting about 10-12inches a storm about every four days for the past two weeks, eastern NY.

Have to know your priorities!

I have done this more times than I can count this winter! We currently have 30 inches, yes 30 inches of snow on the ground with more expected soon. I have shoveled a path many times from their hideout in the old root cellar up to the barn where they eat. For some reason they like the root cellar, must be warmer under ground and all.......anyway I locked 'em in the barn today cause I didn't feel like shoveling it again LOL Oh well!

Even though it doesnt snow where I am, I completely understand. I would also understand if you had thrown a hefty snowball at the neighbor!

When my mom was still alive, she called and asked, "Do you think, if you and Jeff come to town today, you could stop by and shovel my sidewalk?"
I said we'd be there as soon as we finished making a path for the goats.
She said, "Well....so long as I'm on your list....even if I come after the goats." and hung up.

Roll...thats funny!!! Thats what my husband pretty much did this morning!!! We had 10 inches last night with a nice layer of ice on top!!

The barn and coop came first!! We have a snow blower on the tractor...which is a must around here!! I had to walk out in that before plowed so he could clear the corral gates and outside area for the goats to run!!

They always come 1st for sure!!!! And thats okay here!!!
