Floor for my goat shed, dirt or wood?

[mamaluv321]

Ooops! Yes indeed ducksforyou, I meant vinyl! I got some remnant vinyl for my chicken coop, and man is it easy to clean out now! I was thinking the shavings or hay would keep it from being slippery if it was deep enough, but maybe not...are the rubber mats solid or do they have holes in them like the ones in resturant kitchens? Thanks so much everyone for your input! Bossroo, I was thinking of doing the paint as well, exterior should work, right?

We are using a dirt floor. Works great and it was 100 percent free. They spill so much hay a continual layer or clean hay is always on top. Most of it is the twiggy parts they won't eat anyway so it might as well be bedding. We do have to rake it out periodically.
