![]() I planned on housing our buck inside of the barn with the rest of my little herd. One thing I did not know (and oh boy I wish I did) was the nature of a buck, especially one that is in rut. Staggering births will keep you sane and your goats sane as well. Let me just say that having 5 goats all due the same week is not the way to go. This meant we could breed on our own schedule which is important if you are older (ahem like I am) and you are raising goats with little help. (If you are an experienced goat owner and just want the housing details you may want to skip to the end.)įor us, we learned early on that keeping a buck (or 5 if you have letting go issues) was the best way. If you choose to raise bucks then housing bucks for breeding goats is something you will want to look into. This means you either need to raise bucks for breeding or find a buck elsewhere you can rent. If you plan to raise dairy goats, you will need to breed those goats in order to ensure you have a constant supply of milk. Whether you raise goats for meat or dairy, breeding is something that needs to be considered when mapping out your setup. ![]()
