Exploring the pasture
Hello all!
My ND babies come home in two weeks so we are working hard to get ready for them to be here - super excited!
I bought this woodshed for their shelter but need suggestions on ways to make the floor solid so their little hooves don't slip through and get injured. The slats between are about 2" openings.
Obviously plywood isn't great for lots of reasons but what about plywood covered by linoleum and then adding straw for comfort?
Would it be better if I just laid 2x2x8 slats in there so that the goats can't fall through but I can remove the slats to push the droppings out and into the grass beneath? That would be pretty stinky pretty fast I am sure.
Some other type wood covered with the horse stall mats?
The shelter is 4x8 and both doors slide open or both can slide into the middle and allow them to enter from each end
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks!
