My pasture I would rotate them in, then bring them to the barn at night. I wasn't putting them into pasture attached to the barn itself. But it still seems they should have some outdoor areas.
How to have a barnyard without spreading parasites?
Hi I was reading about how important it is to rotate pasture, especially where I live because of parasites, and the moisture here. This is fine, but it made me wonder how I would ever be able to let my goats out of their barn, if I made a little field attached they would surely just eat anything growing and get parasites?
Can you just leave it as mud so nothing grows or something I'm missing?

Yes you can add a goat yard for them to come into at night. You can dry lot there and just put some hay out for night time munchies.
Ok thank you so much I think I can figure it out from here, I just didn't know what a dry lot was called so now I can research that and what's best for my area.

If grass is kept high there is a dramatic reduction in worm load. Rotating pastures is by far the best, if possible.Hi I was reading about how important it is to rotate pasture, especially where I live because of parasites, and the moisture here.
