Fang you very mush. I've had a look. Goats don't like the cold weather do they? After spending the summer and autumn out and about they are now very reluctant to venture past their shed door. Is this usual?

I know nothing - but a friend who kept Angora goats used to make them a little 'mountain' of straw bales in the shed to keep them amused in the wet or cold weather

knit them little jackets?

Yes- given the choice, they are little whimps. They hate rain, wind, cold... Seeing that feral goats survive quite well in bad weather conditions, it's really a matter of choice with them.

Just like humans!
