That was hilariously difficult, though it hasn't warmed up too much yet so the giant snowdrift was still easily navigable. Eventually managed to move all the goats in stages (constantly chasing after curious babies who wandered off), with some help from the livestock guardian babysitter.

Baby goats have reached the incompetent frolicking stage. This is the best!

Saw a nice tree branch a few days ago.
