DIY Goat Barn Tour 

How absolutely refreshing! No frills. Exactly everything that you need and nothing you don't. Functional and frugal!

I built a barn too - I started with pallets as the framework, sided with local milled lumber. I painted that with off color discount paint, then roofed it with some heavy plastic siding I picked up free of the side of the road. Total cost, $9 for the paint. For the kids, we built a panel to cut off about 1/3 of the small barn, and used plastic lattice to fill in the framework, leaving an opening big enough for the largest kids, too small for the smallest doe and used a scrap of fencing to make a closeable door for separation - it now serves as a creep feed so I can give growing kids their grain ration without mamas hogging it all. Because this barn has two doors, the second door is functional for the creep corner, and I can even fence off that door so there is a small outside yard, covered by the overhang porch area. The hay manger is in this porch area and accessible to both doors of the barn. I actually have a separate kidding stall in the much larger chicken coop, which the goats and chickens used to share. If I could do things over, I would have made my doe barn taller - I made the rookie mistake of making it "goat high" and now have to basically crouch in there to clean it... OOF! Otherwise, I love my little goat barn.

Great video, thanks for showing all the smaller structures too.

Uncle Rico has his timing down perfectly.

We called that type of door a "Dutch door " and made a similar door to close the top when desired. Goats are great but ever busy. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Hey Jason! Keep the goat video's coming. Your doing a good job. Thank you!

Our goats love it while prancing in the street. Fences covered by snow.

Thank you for your service! Looking to relocate from Colorado.

Oh! Priceless. Frost free water thing. Im in Canada. Just planning my homestead to purchase correct land. Your videos are just chalk full of so much help!! So grateful.

Preach it brother. Thank you for your service. God bless Shalom

It’s a “Dutch” door lol. Great video, thanks!

I can learn a lot from u and thanks for ur service

It’s a goat porch! Very Cool!

New subscriber here. I wish I'd seen your video a month ago. I just spent $700 on a 6x6 deer hunting blind to use as a chicken coop. I love it and it's very well built by the Amish. I'm disabled and didnt figure I could build it myself. But now I'm thinking of tackling a small shed for winter storage. We are overflowing with stuff.

Thank you for the info and thank you for your service as an officer!

Nice video

so enjoy the the goats and barn tour. you think like i do . i use what i can . have a bless day

Hi Jason, greetings from Spring, Texas Y’all. You have a nice place there. I salute you for your service. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We call our igloo a “pigloo” because Hoss our AGH is currently using it until he no longer fits 😂.

Love the video. We had a mouse/rat problem in our beginning and changed over to metal cans and a barn cat that is worth his weight in gold. No more problems with those pests. Have a great rest of the day.

Jolene is just looking for affection. Poor little underdog goat.🤣

Glad I came across this! We just brought home two Nigerian Dwarf. We are looking to build a more permanent shelter for them, as we have a temporary, currently. This was helpful! 🙂 Great video!

The for the tour enjoyed very much

The first 45sec of your video. Hooked me bud. Keep up the good work. SUBSCRIBED!!! LIKED !!!!

So many awesome realistic examples/options. Great tour! 🇺🇸💚

Thank you!good job!

Try oil of pepermint to deal with your rhodent problem. Pepermint oil makes them itch and they will move on.

Great video thanks for keeping it real !!

I prefer the corrugated metal, going to use some for a privacy fence, great job. Ours hate rain, cold, heat, etc., lol, they like to be comfortable so we do our best for them.

Did you know that a goats horns are a part of their temp control. Dogs pant, and goats have horns to release excess heat.

Hoping to have some goats soon. Thanks for sharing your info!

Your channel just came up in my feed. Cool structure! I have subscribed to follow along with you! - Rick

Dutch door is it's proper name but half door is more understood here in Georgia .

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I am thinking about getting some goats.

Found you on Big Bear Homestead. New sub :) We have goats but they are in a community 4H barn and were getting ready to buy some land so this is super helpful we will have to build a barn for them and I love yours and how it has the milking area!

You say it’s “not fancy” but I would love to have it. 😉Love the red barn paint and half doors. The window was hard to put in? Looks like you thought of everything. We’re always making steps towards self-sufficiency too, though as we’re actually doing it, we can see that will not happen. We’re a medical family, so we also aren’t of the homestead background. In fact, our background is more of the “suburb” background. 😂The homestead life is a lovely one.

I just supported you.❤️

Great ideas for minis! My large girls would destroy them though lol

Thank you for this video. A very practical setup, explained in an informative way. Do you have many issues with goats escaping?

Dutch door 😄

The door.. if you buy another door latch and mount it to the side of the building you can just latch it open..

I love your homestead name. It must be a Jason thing, not being a carpenter. Eg. Coghill Farm's Jason Smith.

I Am thinking about getting a goat so I would defennetly like more goat content pls I subbed :D

I am glad I ran across you I built a leanto for my meat rabbits and I can just continue that leanto for my chickens and soon my dewarf mini nannies . If I just have two nannies my 8x8 she shed with a 40 ft run should be ok? I am just starting so any suggestions are welcomed

Anything can get into the chicken run...the wire gaps for the wire on top are WAY wide enough for birds or snakes to get in.

Someone needs to talk to that rooster.

Is it possible to put an overhang on the barns to collect water for the animals to drink?

Dutch door.

I keep telling my husband we can just do it .

What do you use for a heat lamp for the babies?

How? We are seniors. How? Can't drive a nail in straight. Put everything together with bungy cords?

sad the babies get taken away from their mothers so young. To bad they can't stay with mom after she is milked and milk left for her babies.
