We're finally building a forever fence and barn for our goats, how much space do they need? It'll be 2 does (for now). I'd like to add a mini donkey in the near future as well...

When I got my first 3 Alpine goats they had a nighttime pen that was 16x16 and during the day they had an attached area that was about 25 x 40. They had tons of room; they really just lay around all day. I have 4 bucks in a 25 x 60 and it is way more than they really use.

Build it as big as you can as more goats are sure to follow.
