Goat play pen

I've heard of an afternoon cat nap but never this...

Minutes after getting my naughty, goat boy escapees into our (Fort Knox) back deck (where they absolutely cannot escape) they were out like a light! 

Our goats love to be by their humans. The minute they are near us, they calm down. On warm days like today, I keep the screen door closed but the large glass door open. The goats love being close to us and we love knowing their safe and not near the busy road!

Now I don't always want my back porch to be a large goat play pen/ crib- but until our pastures/fences are goat proof- this will work for here and there.

Later, once it's dark, the goats want to snuggle with the sheep in the manger. At night, they will walk right from our back porch into the pasture without any trouble. That never happens during the day. One reason to be thankful for early darkness!
