What kind of stuff are you trying to keep out of the goat house? I don't know goats but I would guess that like chickens, ventilation is important including in the winter. I think I'd screen the entire soffit.

The back 4 in soffit we were going to screen. But the front one is pretty big. I was worried rain and snow will get in if we leave it open and just screen it. But I guess we can leave the whole thing. It's hard to see in the pic but it's a pretty huge gap under the overhang we have in the front.

How horizontal is your rain and snow?

The snow blows around a lot.

Yes but that high? We get a lot of drifting, and spots where the wind has blown the snow clear, but it is all at ground level.
Are you talking about the side with the short overhang?

Yeah I was talking about the side with the overhang. But maybe you're right. Maybe we don't need to close it in.
I have to concur to screen it and leave it open. More ventilation is better. Oh, and I noticed you managed to get the moon in a couple of shots 
You do know that your DH is going to need to replace that bent/damaged drip edge at the corner, right? 
It looks awesome! He did a great job! The goats are going to love it.

Ok maybe we'll just leave it open and screen it. Probably easier! We can always close it up later if we find rain and snow gets in. Thanks for comments!I have to concur to screen it and leave it open. More ventilation is better. Oh, and I noticed you managed to get the moon in a couple of shots
