Groin, let's talk goats | Page 13 | Animals | Forums

So ...Goats.

What do they need for shelter in a northern winter?...A relatively draft free shed/barn with straw and a light bulb? 

Good weather...the plan would be to keep them in a paddock most of the time...but take them to areas that need weed control where I would pound in a post and give them a 30 Ft lead and a 5 gal pal of water and check on them in a few hours....would that work out? 

Ive pretty much had to table my goat dreams for the moment.

Im thinking about building a new coop for the chickens and adding some space for ducks as well.  I'll take my current 4x8 coop and get it onto a trailer and use electronet fencing to do some pasture rotation with them during spring/summer/fall.  Then possibly doing some quail in cages as well.

Still wish I could get some goats though.  Damn, those little gifs are killing me!

That is a cute goat...looks like it has attitude though...looks like she is going to give somebody a beat down.

...you know...Do goats make good watch 'dogs'?
