Finally somebody doesn't just tell us but explains why and how .. thank you very much for your time and effort to help us !! We are new to the Goat world and have kiko's with a heard size of 14 untill next kidding season and I have been trying to figure out the best for my heard
Mechanic Mike good stuff. Glad you find it helpful.
For my goats, All winter long, I layered thier feed straw (don't like the plain bedding straw myself). I give them feed straw in containers & also throw down a layer on top layer myself. The fermenting does provide heat & they loved it!
Those goats r sooo gorgeous with long horns
That's a pretty cool shelter.
I've made the same kind of ramp access to one of our shelters. I too was stunned to see how long it took them to even realise to use the footings. They have no trouble scaling an eight foot vertical sheet of corrugated iron, but struggled so much with this shallow ramp with solid 2x4 footholds. X)
One problem I've found with this kind of wooden ramp is that because the goats still sometimes forget to use the footholds, they can slip when it's wet, which poses an unnatural risk for their joints, so I'd say that overall it's not a design I'm happy with and I really should do something about it - probably just giving it a good clean and applying a non-slip surface finish (paint with sand in it).
For those boards you've got up there, one idea would be to try angling them a little toward a drainage point. Goats actually prefer to sleep on angled ground, since the more angled it is, the closer their outside hooves are to being upright and faster they can transition from asleep to up and running, so there's nothing precious to them about a perfect horizontal bed. Together with a coat of paint on those surfaces that are designed to be in contact with damp hay, this might fix the problem.
What an interesting channel, really enjoyed the contents. Keep up the good work.
I like this goat shelter, I’m going to build my own similar version, thankyou
The curious white goat at the bottom left corner of the screen and sly camera footage had me dying laughing! Helpful tips too thank you guys!
Just got my first two goats for packing. These videos are so helpful
What fun and glad u find them helpful.
I bought a mat for my goat,she love that,sleep on it almost every night!
Great tips. And good info on leaving the bedding.
I'm a beginner Goat Farmer,this helps a lot. Thanks! 😊
Nice, Beautiful shelter sir, New Subscriber Thank you and GodBless 🙏
Another great vid, guess i will have another building project. Subscribed
You could take Marine board that is water proof it would last longer you could also paint it with helsman it protects the wood and restores it ,it hardens it up just a suggestion that way it will last longer and you can keep your idea
Great set up 👍
Great video! Awesome setup!! Thanks for sharing 😊🙏🙏
Interesting, you got a good system.

I think small breeds goats such as we have... like Nigerian dwarfs like to climb more...
It seems perhaps it would have been better just to build a barn with stalls on each side... and a hall down the middle?
Is setup ok in the winter?
Do you have building plans for this shelter design? I didn't see it on the website.
I don’t. Sorry.
Can you compost the old bedding instead of hauling it?
Ya we do now. Couldn’t on the old place.
Hi Marc, what is the total height of your shelter and what width do you recommend for each section? thanks from Germany!
8 feet high and each section was 5 feet wide.
Под крышей кормушка лучше,
но бруски должны быть ближе на расстоянии 3х5 см и в виде ячеек
Сделать кормушки из *сетки рабицы*.
и не будет столько отходов у коз
При таком кормлении не экономно так ,они много кормов затаптывают!!!!
Еще можно использовать пластиковую строительную сетку
Could this work for sheep?
Maybe. Not sure if they would use it.
