                                   Housing for Your Show Wether
 
Your wether does not need a fancy house. He doesn't care what the neighbors think about his house or if the neighbor goat has a prettier house than him.
  He just wants a place to get out of the weather and that he will feel safe and secure in.
  Be creative and resourceful!  A used dog  house bought at a yard sale makes a great little goat house. So can lots of other things. His house can be anything from a used dog house to a stall in a large barn. 
  Since a picture is worth a thousand words below are some pictures of different goat houses. From simple to simply silly in their extravagance. Remember simple is best.
What you already have on hand to use is best.
