How I Built A 16x16 Goat Pen

[@soulfoodqueennet]

Dan,It cool in Missississp...Yeah!!! that pen is very nice looking..great job you did for the Goats..

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

I'm with you. I wore a sweatshirt most of the day too. I finally started using cattle panels last year. They are a little expensive but well worth it. Have a great day. Best wishes Bob.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hey Mr Bob, yes sir they are a little on the pricey side but the panels sure can be used for other things if I decide to take the pen down. Heck yeah sir, it was down right chilly to this southern boy!! Thanks for watching Mr Bob!! Dan

[@Brett33]

Working on building a pen for my daughters 10 goats . It's 40' x 64 ' . Only thing different I did was to put the panels on the inside of the wood posts so that if they are jumping or standing on the fence , it's pushing into the post instead of the staples .

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting sir, welcome to the channel!! Great tip ya brought up, I actually did the same off camera, sometimes I don't think about the obvious lol!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great week!! Dan

[@HomsteadingThePioneerWay]

I zip tie everything lol nice job, i can't afford the cattle pannels, but i found econo pannels 16 ft. long and 4 ft high for $20 each

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching mam and yes mam, cattle panel is really high here as well!! I normally wait till I can get them on sale, which isn't very often!! Dan

[@CBsGreenhouseandGarden]

Great job done Sir! Midnight is going to love her new home for sure. I can hear her yelling back there saying Pa that is Awesome!

[@HomeInTheSticks]

[@HomeInTheSticks]

[@SouthernFoodJunkie]

Them goats gonna be happy Dan. The pen looks very good. I can tell you always take your time on what you do. We used to have a 3 ac enclosure that we raised whitetail deer in. We had a rehab and ppl would bring them to use if they got hit or found a hurt one. We used the cattle panel and double stack it. One on top of the other to make it 7 ft high. That cattle panel is the way to go.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Yes sir, I've used the cattle panel alot in my raised beds with great success, hopefully I'll have the same success with the goats!! Awesome thing for you to do brother, rehabbing the hurt deer!! Thanks for watching my friend!! Dan

[@ToddWittenmyerBackwoodsLiving]

Looks good Dan! Placing those T-posts on the outside of the fence is the best way to go. The goats really like climbing on the inside of the fence and putting pressure on the fencing. I've never raised any goats, but my uncle used to have a herd of 'em!

[@HomeInTheSticks]

I can see I'm gonna expand that pen Todd, lol I sure love me some goats, interesting creatures they are!! Thanks for watching my brother!! Dan

[@50shadesofgreen]

Fantastic looking pen Dan !! Mrs Midnight will love it, especially when you get a Mr midnight LOL

[@HomeInTheSticks]

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya 6996katmom, I think she's gonna like the new pen myself!! Thanks for watching mam!! Dan

[@melodycapehartmedina2264]

Just a tip~~ If you turn the bottom post that is holding the gate to the down position and loosen the top bracket so you can push it up and then lower it down on the top post and tighten it back up that gate cannot be lifted up and off the posts. Right now if they go to scratching and itching against the gate they can push it straight up and off the hinges and get out.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Good tip mam, I may have to look into this!! What I did do on my other pasture gates is drill a hole through the bracket and pin and added a cotter pin to locked the gate onto the pin, worked pretty good, kinda over kill but it worked!! Thanks for watching mam!! Dan

[@SugarCreekOffGrid]

[@HomeInTheSticks]

[@carlanddawnhomestead4347]

Some heavy duty goat / sheep panels you have there Dan. A little more expensive but I rather use those too. I fenced in a 100 feet X 75 feet section and two goats cleared that out in 3 months time. Midnight is one happy girl! Thumbs up buddy and have a great week.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

I agree with ya Carl, the panel is the only way to go for sure!! I gotta build a shelter for the goats and I'll be done for now lol!! Thanks for watching brother and y'all have a great week as well!! Dan

looks really good, what are you going to use for a goat shelter? our goats will not come out of theirs if it is raining

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya Mr Jay, I'm thinking on a raised shelter with a floor instead of using the ground as a floor, when it rains, the terraces push water near that pen!! I have a bunch of reclaimed wood so I'll be working on that this week hopefully. Thanks for watching sir!! Dan

ha 70 is our highs in the summer. You're so funny. Your buddy does get climatized to where you live though. Great job on the pen. Seems like you had your own cheering squad with the chickens.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hey Brian, yes sir them jokers will make some sure enough noise when they find out I'm home lol. Heck yeah, anything below 70 is cold this ol' southern boy!! Thanks for watching my brother!! Dan

[@TheNealsHomestead]

I love using panels. They are so versatile, the uses are multitude. That makes a great goat proof pen. Old Guy always calls those steeples, for some reason. I noticed that the cut ends of your panel on the gate are just sticking up there. Those things are sharp and I'm concerned that you might cut yourself on them. Good work!

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Yes mam, they pretty dang sharp but they make good latches for the chain that keeps the gate closed!! I may snip all of them off but one. Thanks ya for stopping by and watching!! Dan

[@Colbyhgreen]

Great job Dan! New subscriber and fellow southern boy here. My papaw taught me how to tamp our poles and they haven't moved in 35 years. I'm pretty new to goats though and my pygmy buck keeps escaping. Are these panels rigid enough that he won't squeeze under?

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hey Mr Colby, welcome to our community and the channel!! Yes sir, my dad and grandfather tamped their poles as well and I have some in the ground that haven't budged in 15 years over here!! As far as your buck, is he the only one in the paddock? I found that having 2 or 3 goats together will settle them down some as they are social animals. The cattle panel I've been using keeps my 2 bucks in the paddock with no problems as of yet, they brush up against it and stand up/lean on them daily. I also have T post every couple of feet behind the cattle panel as well. Hope this answers your question sir!! Thank ya for watching, have a good Wednesday!! Dan

[@Liz-ww3cm]

I've had success filling that kind of gap with firewood rounds. Or longer pieces of logs. Depending on the animal and the situation, they might work best on the inside or outside, just wedged in or also attached to the fencing with u-nails... It's affordable!

[@maryh13]

Can I ask how many cattle panels you needed for this ? 8?

[@HomeInTheSticks]
