I have one with a dirt floor I just scrape down and put shavings on and one with a stall mat that I just rake off. A wood floor will work too.I always use shavings for bedding on anything. I know some people don't use bedding and that works too. I just love the look of fresh shavings, makes me feel better:)goatgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753367360714853700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-49580576277304490212008-02-17T09:05:00.000-08:002008-02-17T09:05:00.000-08:00Hi Mellimaus!

I'll need to consult further with all the goat experts on this!<BR/><BR/>Gus and Louie - I will probably need help with that, if I don't do a really good job with my fencing. Maybe you'd like to take a trip to Oregon?<BR/><BR/>Hi goatgirl - but why do you use stall mats? Can they experience the same foot and leg issues that horses do? Will I be a bad goat mama if I don't have them? I had a goat as a child and he just lived in a big, wooden dog house with straw on the floor of it.<BR/><BR/>Hi kathryn, yes, the former owner literally trucked in TONS of rock for these terraced steps all over the property. They are lovely, but very slippery in the winter! Now, return your focus to my goat house! :-) :-)<BR/><BR/>Michele (nw nature nut)! My husband said the exact same thing: the lettering must stay! :-)<BR/><BR/>Hi pichinde - everything I'm hearing is pointing me in the opposite direction from billy's!! We're having septic issues right now, so we've got enough smelly problems to deal with!<BR/><BR/>Hi twinville - I'm having a lot of fun. Can you tell? :-)<BR/><BR/>sugarcreekstuff - Jim laughed so hard at your comment! Maybe my sister and her three kids wouldn't mind staying there on their next sleepover? ;-)<BR/><BR/>rural writer - I saw your kid pics this morning. they are adorable! I'm definitely going to need some tips from all the goat people out there on keeping them fenced!Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-3583695418292725152008-02-16T16:28:00.000-08:002008-02-16T16:28:00.000-08:00You have the neatest outbuildings on your place!!!...You have the neatest outbuildings on your place!!!

The one in your picture has holes and I picture them stuck full of nanny berries. They would be hard to keep clean. They might be better for the donkeys. I can appreciate your enthusiasum for the outbuildings. I love a good shed.goatgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753367360714853700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-27785433434538716592008-02-15T14:52:00.000-08:002008-02-15T14:52:00.000-08:00We sure wish we lived closer to you when you get t...We sure wish we lived closer to you when you get those goats.

How funny, it actually says 'Goat House' on it. <BR/>A friend of ours bought a house with a BIG old barn, and whenever I go there, I HAVE to go in the barn. I find old buildings so interesting.<BR/>We almost got goats when we got Daisy, but then we heard how hard it is to fence them in, so we didn't get any.....<BR/><BR/>~Mellimaus<BR/>P.S.
