Sorry for the confusion, but I ment storing the hay under the deck and just placing a tarp over the top of the hay to keep any water drips from seeping through the deck on to the hay. I have pallets that could keep the hay off the dirt floor.

Does the salt keep the moisture out the hay? Also I have a large deck, could I use pallets and stack the hay under and use a tarp to keep the ice melt/rain off of it but still get air flow on the ends/edges?

I do not have a barn but plan on storing 50 bales of hay for the winter, how do I keep it from going bad? I live in NH. I have some room in my garage next to my car would that work or should I keep it out of the house and use tarps/ pallets outide? Also will mice get into it and ruin it? Thanks...

so would an 8x8 shed be enough? Also will I have to seperate the does when the one is kidding?

Hello all-I am in southern NH. I am starting my research for my next project, fresh goats milk. Hope to learn lots, got a new book on dairy goats coming. Literally know nothing about goats, but want to start learning. See if it is something I can do on 2 acres...
