Goat Boardwalk

We finally had some sunshine last weekend to work on projects outside.  And the first project on our list was building a goat boardwalk.  Our poor animals have been living in a very rain saturated, muddy yard this past month and we decided they needed some elevation out of the mud.  Our project was easy, cheap and quick to assemble.  And the goats and rabbit were very pleased with the result.

Heavy March rains make for a muddy goat yard.

Four pallets from Bay Hay and Feed.  Cost:  $8

The goats begin playing on their new structure immediately.  They are truly "kids".

The rabbit gets a front deck and dry entry into his hutch.  Of course the goats think this is for them too....
