I have two loafing sheds for the goats, one big one for the sheep, two 6 stall barns for the horses. My pasture soil is the problem. It's very very fine alluvium. Basically silt. It turns into pancake batter with more than an inch of rain. Drainage is in place but it doesn't make any difference. The horses, sheep and few cows do fine, they don't mind the rain or the mud. The goats are a different story. Buncha prima donnas. Goats HATE rain about as much as I do. They have plenty of room in their sheds, but the dominant does beat up the subordinates and throw them out in the rain. If it's wet enough the outcasts will decide to fight their way in, then all hell breaks loose. Only my bucks get off easy. The boys have their own pasture and shelter.
