Be sure to keep the barn clean if the goats are in (esp. if in w/heat lamps). The heat from the lamps causes the urine to evap. faster and the goats breath it in causing the lungs to scald (horse term) get pnumonia. We have been letting ours run in and out after learning about the amonia the hard way and have had no problems. We feed twice daily all the hay they can eat and grain once. If you have any thin goats or very old and very young I would have "goat coats" on hand in case they get cold. But it sounds like you are prepared. Lucky you 30 at nite it's been like that durring the day up here. I am so not ready for winter. It snowed yesterday BLAH!!! Anyway good luck
