Well, it finally quit raining in Texas and so we can get on with our fencing for the goats. Now I need a plan for a little shed or barn, something simple to give them shelter. And maybe a milking stand. I remember somebody here said they had some good plans, but I forgot who it was! Kate~

I can't find my link for my favorite plans but here are some others. If I find it, I'll add it to this post.

If any of the other girls is familiar with it, the one I am thinking of features a shelter built from 2x4s and corrugated metal siding. It's about 8 feet long and 4 feet high in front/3 feet high in back, and the site shows pictures of the shed and a handwritten drawing instead of formal plans. Anyone remember where this is? If I remember it correctly, I think it is a page on a breeders' website...

In any event, it was a three sided shed that was very simple to make...
