TYPES OF GOAT PENS
There are several different types of goat pens, which typically are dependent on the type of goats you’re raising, groups of goats based on age or purpose, the purpose for the pen, management approach and processes, and even if you’re working with an existing facility or barn.
Here’s an list of different types of goat pens:
Group pens: A large pen, which houses many goats. Typically a group pen will include a group of goats of a similar size, age or purpose. For example, market goats, bucks, weaned kids, or does.
Individual pens:
A pen set up for one goat. Typically these are used in situations where a goat might need veterinary care or closer attention while they are recovering from an ailment. It’s often used for a shorter period of time.
Kidding pens or kidding jugs: Small pens used when a doe is getting closer to kidding, or after a doe has kidded. The doe and her kids will stay in this pen for 12-48 hours to help them bond.
Outdoor yard, pen or lot:
A pen or area outside, often connected to a barn or shelter. Sometimes this might be an existing pasture or it could be a dirt lot or paved lot.
Grazing Paddock:
This is a small section of a pasture where goats graze for 1-3 days and then move to a new paddock. You can learn more about grazing and paddocks here.
