What did you do today?

[Taffy]

Today I made two more goat houses out of used fertilizer tanks. Pressure washing them, using the saws all to cut the door and the bottom out of the tank, more pressure washing to finish cleaning the inside of the tank and then used the forks on the tractor to haul them over and lace them in the goat pens. I still need to mount the ventilation cover on the roof of each of them but I ran out of daylight.

I'd penned the goats in another pasture so I could work without them under foot (or tractor tire!). Once i had the tanks placed in the pens I let the goats out. They were leery of the tanks and approached them cautiously. Which is crazy - I placed them right next to the other tanks in the pens! Once they decided the tanks were okay they ran in them and checked them out.

Even though my goats have lean-tos they prefer the tanks in the coldest weather and winds. This knocks one of my pre-winter chores off the list!
