[cwine18]

It kind of depends on how many goats and sheep you plan on having, but I would think you could get by with 12 deep, 14 long, and high enough to walk under with out having to walk in bent over, that makes it much easier for cleaning. you might want to have room for a stall for the steer if it gets to pushy with the goats and sheep.

When I first started in sheep, I had a barn with 1 section that was 12 x 48 where I kept a dozen ewes. During a VERY wet and rainy week,resulting in flooding the sheep were inside that area full time. After 12 days , the floor was almost ankle deep in straw + hay+ poop + urine that took 2 full days to clean out. What size of building and number of animals works for average conditions, does not work for more inclement conditions. I would figure out what size that you need for the animals that you have or will have plus their offspring , then at least double it .
