What is a typical goat house?

We made one of our chicken tractors into a goat shed this summer. The bottom is a 4 x 8' frame with 10' lengths of PVC creating a hoop house. The hoop top is completely covered with a tarp. Wheels are attached to one end and a handle to the other. The end that has wheels also has a platform resting on the bottom frame that is just the right size for one bale of hay to fit onto. The cover on that end of the shed hinges down completely so I can release the latch and the whole end drops down and I slide the bale right in.

Our main goat shed is a three sided shed with the front open to the south side. The manger divides the shed into two 8x8 stalls and the herd is happy there, even in the extreme cold we're having right now.

This is my typical shelter. We always face our opening to the the South because here when we have cold weather wind blows from the North. We have other housing for does who are kidding, but most sleep or get out of the rain in these. We have several spread out. Costs about $150 with new material.
