Yesterday we set up the temporary paddock for the goats and today I headed to a farm near Crook in Co Durham to collect 11 bales of fresh meadow hay. I did a swap for them: a jar of honey, one of blackcurrant jam, one of bramble jelly and one of green tomato chutney. Back on the allotment I used some of the bales to build the temporary goat house. The rest were stacked up on a pallet and covered with a plastic sheet.
Tomorrow, Thursday, we collect the goats. This is going to be quite an experience for us.

Best wishes on your new adventure with GOATS! Beware---they are very addicting. I've got 10 at the moment and I love them to pieces. The milk is awesome, too, as are the other products I make----yogurt, kefir, cheese, and soap!!
We kept goats for 18 years, enjoyed every minute except the time they escaped and hoof trimming! Good luck at the start of your goat adventure.
