Newest construction, on the farm

Recently the goats moved into a fenced in area and stopped their roaming.  The week they moved in the pen from the back porch of the chicken coop, we had rain forecasted later in the week.  Here is a “bus stop” I built for them to get in out of the weather. 

The 4x4 posts are cemented in the ground because a goat will butt any object, 2x4s around the top, the top and sides are covered with the same tin as the roof of our other farm structures.  This is green tin that was given to me by a friend, the roofs of everything are green.  It has a roof and walls about 3-1/2 feet high this will keep wind and rain off them directly.  They have two bales of straw loose on the ground to lay on (and eat).  I did not want it to be completely enclosed because our summers are really hot and our winters are not all that bad. 
The next thing they needed was a place to play, before they could go into the woods and play on fallen tree.  They also liked to play on things like feed containers, the back porch and of course the picnic table.  These were the areas, where they played that were not approved by upper management Jen.  Here is what I came up with hint: it was mentioned in the last post as an idea but here are pictures.



That’s right, a wood pile.  They love it, you have never seen kids play king of the hill, like Kids (young goats do), they are so fun to watch. 
Their other toy is the feeder I purchased for them, but they have now figured out it can also be a place to wrestle over food; at the time of this picture Romeo was in control.  When I walk in the pen if one of them is in the feeder, I will spin it like a merry-go-round!
