goat barn needs
I have admired this goat barn for quite some time. when i knew we were moving, and i’d need to build a new goat barn i ran across this one. sadly, i haven’t got to build it yet. but if you have the opportunity, then you should. this barn looks great, is super functional, and also appears to be sturdy as well. check out this goat shelter. 14..
