Just some of the critters hanging in the barnyard before our weather turned.
Not a lot else to do this time of year.

So far everyone is surviving the cold.
I did have to make a couple of changes. I kicked Jonai out of the buck room. She has a thick coat and a good layer of fat.
In her place, I moved Antigone over to the buck room. Unfortunately, her big sister, Astra, was hogging the heat lamp.
She was stuck with her butt against the heated bucket for a little more warmth.
I also had to put a makeshift coat on Haley and move her up with Victoria and her girls.
Hopefully, a few days of eating without having anyone push her around will get her caught up and she won’t need the coat anymore. Because it’s not a good fit.
Hopefully, we make it through without any losses or having to take extreme measures (putting someone in the garage).

I’ve always enjoyed my geese. They were one of the first animals I brought to the farm when I moved here twenty-two years ago.
These girls are nice.
Heck, this guy isn’t too bad. He likes to hiss a lot, but that’s not a big deal.
But this jerk really needs an attitude adjustment.
He is horrible. It doesn’t matter if he gets walked on or tossed with a horn or pulled off a goat by the neck. He will not stop attacking them.
I think we’re all to the point that we want him to try and attack Odie. We’re pretty she’s the only one around here who would stomp him into the ground and end his reign of terror.
I wouldn’t even feel bad if he got eaten by a coyote.
