I have 5 goats in a 15x25 area. At most I would keep 6 and would actually prefer 4. My goats are locked up at night. If we have bad winter conditions I will also keep the door closed. I have 4 small hay racks. If you are going to lock them up, you want plenty of space for them to eat and get away from each other. You also don't want overcrowding. So that 8 ft per animal is very reasonable.

Sheep can't have the amount of copper goats need.

You would have to feed feed and minerals for sheep. Then supplement minerals for goats like copper and selenium.
