We continue trundling through some extra cold weather. But -10 still feels warmer than -30.

Hay! It's still very cold at The Liminal Farmstead at -26. The San Clemente Island goat herd is making it through. With great shelters, plentiful bedding, and lots of hay. Although, a warm-up would be welcome.

Goat butts! We are in for another cold spell in Western Wisconsin. A few days of -20 which will likely mean -30 in the valley.

I was contemplating a few improvements to make during the warm months of 2026. And one was to get a water pump closer to the goats. Sledding water in -20 degree for the past 12 winters is getting old for me but still fun for some. 🤪

Kasimer and Vonnegut are "self-black" San Clemente Island goats. Jasper displays the black and white color variation. These variations can be found in a small handful of United States and Canadian herds. Self-black is my favorite! #sanclementeislandgoats #endangeredlivestock #theliminalfarmstead

Isbue is peeking out of his house. I keep smaller shelters inside the big goat shelter to offer a safe space. Goats hold a hierarchy that can entail lower ranking goats being chased away. Creating these spaces helps to keep the goats safe.
