Finally sitting down to take a breath. Made some progress here on the farm over the last week and weekend. Here is the beginning stage of the newest project. The goat shelter! We decided to start small instead of going straight for the full size jersey cow. They require much more pasture space, more feed, and what would we do with all that milk??? Starting with 2 nubian doelings sounded more reasonable. Giving us all a chance to bond with the younger animals and learn the skills of the trade, so to speak.
Framed from FREE pallets from my local lumber store and feed store. We were going to pull apart more pallets to fill in the gaps on the outside, but we were strained for time and good weather. We went ahead and used siding panels for the back, front and west sides. We left the east side ventilated. We also purchased galvanized steel roofing for $18. Not too terribly bad. Here is the finished shelter and my girls.
