Goat Barn Building 101

I must admit to being incredibly lucky at having the opportunity to design our barn from the ground up rather than modifying an existing building.  While our start-up costs are, for lack of a better word, astronomical, in the long term this barn will hold up better, be more efficient to use, and healthier for our animals.  Lots of thought went into the design of the building, and I am, again, incredibly lucky to have worked on several goat dairies whose various strengths and weaknesses directed the features included in the barn.
