Goats are very adaptable animals and do not require fancy or expensive housing. Goats can tolerate cold weather, but should nor remain cold and wet for long periods.

Take time to visit other goat farms in your area to see what sort of goat housing works best for them. Oftentimes, existing buildings can be utilized to house goats, store hay and equipment. If properly constructed, fences can keep goats in and help in keeping predators out.

Goats require approximately 20-25 square feet per animal of space and should accommodate the herd without crowding. Fences should be at least 5-6 foot tall.
