Overrun with beasties
Hi!
So I am planning on getting my very first goat kids in August. We have a old house that had a run down, rotting fence, that we have been fixing up. We fixed the actual fence, so all we have left to do is to build the shelter, and cut down the seemingly thousands of rhododendrons in and around the feild. We even have our livestock gaurdian dog ready for the new arrivals!
Here is a ROUGH sketch of what I was thinking about designing the shelter to look like. Any other ideas?
So, I included a small closet area to store feed, hay, and cleaning materials. The over hang area is so the goats can stand outside and eat the hay in all types of weather. I was even thinking about making steps up to the roof of the shelter, so they can climb up on top of they want to.
We have a couple Air B&Bs, so the shelter has to look really nice.
Does anyone have any suggestions, questions, comments, or concerns? I am absolutely open to any and all of these. Thank you!
I am really new to goats, but I’m excited to start this adventure.
