We moved a couple of years ago from Loveland, Colorado to Brownfield, 
Maine with some Nubians, Alpines and Angora (all full sized goats). The 
Nubians don't like the winters up here; we've lost a goat or two each 
year, all Nubians. The others seem to do just fine. We don't have a 
light burning in our barn.
