Ok i live the idea of poly dome livestock huts for goats/ moveable so easy to clean. Dont have to spend time building- and around 1100.00 for the largest one- 7x9x6 feet - under 200 pds.
Small is around 375.00 - 58x43x46-
46 pounds
But
Are they better than a wood barn?
Any thoughts?

I don’t have any, but I know several breeders who use calf huts and love them! How many goats are you looking to house? Breed?

i know the hut would work for the bucks, but ...... not sure if they are adequate for does- especially if they all get preggers around the same time.
