Goat Shed at the Farm


Housing provisions are necessary whether on range or confined feeding. A goat house or shed must be built to provide shelter. Remember, goats are afraid of rain and wetness as these make them prone to pneumonia. They also prefer sleeping in elevated platforms with a stair-type arrangement. It must be well-ventilated, drained and easy to clean. Feeding racks should be accessible to both animals and caretaker, preferably in the front of the aisle. Provide flooring which should be elevated to facilitate cleaning and drainage.
