Shelter: Pygoras hate to be wet and need a place to get out of the rain and cold drafts.  A cold wet goat can turn into a sick goat very quickly.  A 3-sided shed works very well (Make sure to point it away from the winter wind).  A 8 by 8 foot shed will house 4 does or 2 bucks.  A enclosed barn will house 1 adult doe per 12-15 sq feet.  Dry clean bedding will need to be provided. Fencing: I really like 2x4x48" "no-climb" woven wire.  The 2"x4" openings don't allow goats to stick their heads out and leave all their neck fiber behind.  48" has been plenty tall enough for our goats.  Its also nice with our newborns so they can't walk right through it like they can with the regular 4 x 4" openings.  Woven wire is a must with goats.  We had welded wire before but the goats rub on it and popped the welds in no time.  Barb wire is a absolute no-no.  I'm not sure electric fence would work with a in-fleece goat.  Chain-link works fine.  Hog panels are nice and strong.  Be sure your fence goes to the ground.  Pygoras are more likely to crawl under a fence then jump over it (at least in my experience).   Pasture: I've found 1/8th of an acre per goat to be ideal in our area in terms of them always having grass available (except in august) and me not having to mow.  Your area may be very different depending on climate and types of vegetation.   I'd recommend starting with just a few goats and see how the land does with them on it for a full year.  Be sure to provide toys for them to play on (hard surfaces help keep hoofs worn down too!) and shade is a must!  DO NOT PUT   pygoras in fleece in a pasture that has blackberry bushes, they will get hopelessly tangled in them!  (shear first, they will clean out and kill the bushes in no tiime).  Clean water and a goat blend of minerals should also always be available. Protection: Goats really do need some form of protection from wandering dogs and wildlife.  LGD's (livestock guardian dogs), donkeys, and llamas have all been used with goats.  I can't recommend for or against any of these as we've not used any in the past and have just been very lucky.  We've never had an attack but a friend 2 miles further out of town did lose goats to coyotes a few years back.  We are moving further out into the country this year and will be getting a guard llama.  We've been impressed with the llama guardian stories we've heard from other breeders.   UPDATED 5-12-2005.  We had our first coyote attack at the beginning of this month.  We lost chickens but fortunately our 2 week old babies were not hurt.  We purchased a guard llama, Fiona, who is so far working out great.  She's only sounded the alarm once, at a dog, who I doubt will ever come by our fence again!
		A whole load of goat toys: huge wooden spools.  Goats absolutely love these to climb on and do flips off of.  Check with your electricity provider for cast-offs.
						Fiona with some of her charges.  She seems to really love the babies, even though they are always trying to climb on her!
