Goats are very hardy animal and they don�t require elaborate shelter. they will do well if you can fulfill their basic housing demands. usually most of the goats require shelter for protecting themselves from heavy rain, snow and the sun.. - shelter -goats need shelter from rain and wind. they need a dry place to bed down. a three-sided shelter is sufficient, as long as the open side is on the lee, away from the wind. goats are bossy, and a dominant goat might take over a particular part of the shelter.. That said, goat shelter doesn't need to be elaborate. a hoop house can provide enough shelter for goats. and during the grazing season, trees or windbreaks, a three-sided shed, or a pole barn with just a roof may be enough for your goats..
By cheryl k. smith . to keep your goats safe, you need to provide them shelter. how elaborate your goat shelter is depends on where you live, what structures are available, how much you can afford, and how many goats you plan to have in the shelter.. Boer goats need a sheltered space to escape the wind and wet. if you plan to keep them indoors for extended periods of time, for weeks during a cold winter, for example, they need at least 20 sq. foot/animal of space.. Quality boer goats, both bucks and does with outstanding conformation and muscle mass and the ability to pass on those traits, still sell for fairly high prices and will continue to do so. q: do i need boer influence in my herd to be a successful meat goat producer? nope. not at all..
