Another goaty question..

[RockyToggRanch]

I know I'm probably just over protective. My togg does are in barn stall with goat size doors cut out to the goat yard. I worry about them getting too cold with no doors on the openings. I stapled up burlap curtains, but the quickly tore it down. I'm wondering if I should install wooden doors. They like to be outside a lot....so would I close them in only at night?

Yet, I've seen goats housed outside with only 3 sided shelters and they do fine. Then, I read that drafts are bad. help

Toggs seem to tolerate cold well. Just watch them to see if they look comfy. If they are huddled in the corner with their hair all wooled up and shivering obvously they are cold. If they are running around acting normal they are OK. Just make sure they have plenty of feed and have shelter from the wind and rain and they should be fine.
