| | Plans for a Small Barn |
 | | We had planned and built our small barn to house not only our milk goats and their kids, but a couple of sheep, 25-30 laying hens, a battery brooder that would produce 30 broilers a month, a six compartment rabbit hutch, a squab loft, plus storage space for grain, straw and bailed hay. |
 | | We wrote to all the barn equipment people, the lumber companies, the state and federal departments of agriculture, asking if they had small barn plans to house goats or a cow, laying chickens, rabbits, sheep, ducks, a pig, pigeons, and geese. |
 | | To return to our barn, a couple of rainy weekends, a garden waiting to be planted, plus the inescapable fact that Cassandra, the goat we'd bought but hadn't brought home yet, was due to kid in two weeks, made us call a carpenter to help finish our barn. |
