    goat barn question???

    We are remodeling our goat barn and want to add more stalls in order to have more separation pens. What would you say is a minimum size stall for 5 pygmy goats? Just trying to figure out how to break up the space to fit a good amount of seperate areas.

    Pooch test? I have no idea....

    My 2 does ran with my buck all through summer. I assumed they'd become preggers but I never witnessed any mating. I'm still unable to tell when my girls are in heat so I have no idea if they could be pregnant or not. Can you guess from these pics? They don't have any udder development.
