Our new goat shelter...expanded

[Pearce Pastures]

Nice job! And I hear ya on the build bigger than you think you need. That goes for barns and houses.

We are wanting to make one half that size. That way the goats can jump on it as well as get under it. We may even cover it with rolled roofing to help with hoofs.

I just wanted to update this post with our shelter expansion. I have four goats now and the dome shelter is barely big enough to house them. I needed more room especially during bad weather. We ended up getting a metal carport and places it in front of the dome. I moved the food and water out to the carport area, divided the space up. I don't feel bad if they were confined in this shelter in bad weather now.

The moral of this project is to build as big as you think you'll need and build bigger that that!

How big of a carport did u get for the 4 goats? Im getting ready to buy one for my babies and would like to get an idea of what size. I have 5

Ummmm @cteague , Catahoula's post was from Dec 2012... She hasn't been on line since mid 2014... I doubt you'll get an answer aside from whatever was already published in her post(s).
