This is probably a question that’s been asked numerous times but we have dogs that never seem to stop chasing my goats when they’re out in pasture, so what’re some good methods to stop them from doing so? My most effective method is keeping them in when the goats are out, but that goes by quick...

I apologize if this information is already somewhere else on the site, and I failed to find it. I'm trying to plan a yard and shelter for two pet Nigerian dwarf wethers and need to know the space requirements. (It's legal I checked.) I don't have other pets or kids currently, So I can easily...
