Well, we started from scratch. No fencing, no barn, etc. Two years is actually a bit of a stretch. We set the fence posts in the fall (fenced about two acres of pasture) , then strung wire, built the shelter, ran power, etc. last summer. Everything was ready by last fall, but we decided that spring babies made more sense so we waited.Catahoula said:
I couldn't wait... We also started from scratch.... Picked out the goats and gave ourselves 1.5 months to build a shelter and pen. We have our goats now and we are still trying to fence off 4 acres but decided to do 2 first so at least they can come out and play. Still working on it.... If I had really planned out like you did or thought harder about the shelter...knowing what I know now, I would build a bigger shelter or even a barn.... so I can have more goats!tcmers said:Well, we started from scratch.

Yes, it always seems like no matter how big you build, it just wasn't big enough! lol Love the dog in your avatar. Wouldn't be without a Catahoula in the house. Here's a pic of our boy.Catahoula said:I couldn't wait... We also started from scratch.... Picked out the goats and gave ourselves 1.5 months to build a shelter and pen.
