Building a goathouse and a pig shelter

goathouse Mar 20 (2)

On Sunday we built a goathouse and a pig shelter on the small holding, all from reused timber and wood panels. We will be able to move them around as they simply stand on the grass. We had planned to build the paddocks as well this week. The stock fencing is ordered and expected to be delivered tomorrow. Unfortunately, our plan to go to the local timber merchant has fallen victim to the pandemic restrictions. They are now closed. So at the moment we are unable to build the paddocks. The plans to buy pigs are likely to be on hold for the time being. As for the goats, we may put the billies onto the small holding anyway, but we need to do a thorough inspection of the external fence before we do so.
