It's been sitting for a long time but it's coming along! The barn is 24x36. It's still mid construction so bear with me! It has a loft (yes, the I fell from to break both my wrists) that runs the 36' length and is 12' deep.
This will be the loafing area for the milkers. The door at the back opens to the milk room.
This will be the milk room. It's 8x9 and opens to what will be the kitchen.
This will be the kitchen. It's another 8x9 room and will have a fridge, cheese fridge, sink with hot water (!!), and upper and lower cabinets. I might be able to talk dh into making me concrete counter tops eventually
This is the open access bay door for people. Where the feeders are and where we bring in hay and such. The door at the back goes to the feed room which connects to the kitchen and milk room. Yes, it is a crazy mess right now!
The feed room, once again 8x9. Grain, alfalfa, and supplements . . .
This is the other loafing area. This is the side that's pretty much done There are 9 does and 6 kids in the pic and they're not crowded or bickering!
This is from the main bay and shows the feeders dh built me and the reach through wall for the goats. I absolutely love this and our hay waste is nonexistent. DH built me the gate to fit the space. It has a really easy spring loaded pull latch and he'll be making a guide so we can pull it closes behind us and it'll latch on it's own.
Goats eating. There is a 1" gap between the lower boards so kids can use it as a step and reach the hay too.
My kidding stalls at the back. I did an entire thread on these earlier so a pic says everything I need! Eventually DH will be making creep panels as the gates are easy to remove i'll be able to set creep or stall as needed, or even one of each
This is DH. The man of my dreams with a dark, crude humor that matches mine and a constant sense of joy and fun that I need to temper my OCD, perfectionist, control freak personality He is the one that built this all and makes it possible on a daily basis. I chose this pic just to needle him as he likes to tell strangers how much he hates goats!!
Now with paint and cupboards
