Almost all livestock will need some sort of protection from the wind and weather. In a pinch, a sturdy- if temporary -hoop house can be constructed out of cattle panels tied into an arch and covered with a tarp. These hoop houses make windproof shelter for Goats , sheep and cattle but excessively cold or wet weather necessitates a more substantial structure. Be they rock , logs or earthen a banr should be ventilated well enough and be cleanable and drainable to keep livestock feet from picking up waterborne disease. The better you take care of your animals the more they will thrive and resist sickness.
This Blog is about sustainable homebased agriculture, local southern WV families and culture, and life. I will try to talk about things that are current and pressing and maybe some jokes or some serious conversation. I want this blog to be a biographical periodical and a teaching tool. I'd like to have tons of followers and would also like to be able to help my community. Add this site to your favorites and You can see Trail-Blazer my donkey as a favicon.
