Erect a fence for you goats. The fence must be sturdy enough to keep out dogs and wild animals.

Step 5
Keep the goat pen and shelter as clean as possible to help reduce disease.

Feed the goats clean hay stored in air-tight containers. Keep the hay off the ground when feeding it to the goats and make sure the kids can't play in the container.
