Winterizing the goat shed

Spent the beautiful day on Saturday getting the goat pen ready for winter. I did a lot reading and all the experts seem to agree that all they need to survive winter is a 3 sided shed with a roof.

To make sure they're warm, we tarred up the roof and put tarps around the sides to keep the breezes out. Hopefully it will be enough.

Sawyer was a big help, although he wasn't such a help when he fell asleep on the ground, with his foot sticking through the tire wing. I'm glad chigger season is over.

It wasn't all work though. We spent a bit of time sighting in the bows and rifles. I'm happy to say the bow is looking good and 20 and 30 yards. Forty yards is still a little sketchy. I'm not worried though. Unless it's an area I've taken the bulldozer to, there isn't 40 yards clear enough to get a shot.
