We have been putting them in the barn in stalls when it rains and at night, but I just made some small shelters with a pallet and half of a cattle panel each. I took pics so I plan on posting soon.
Got it. I just separated my two baby bucks to an old pen and have some dog houses for now because I had to dash out twice during popup showers. I carry them to the barn at night and in the morning back to the pen which is becoming a pain (building a perm buck pen now). So your pallet shelter is in the electric fence pen in case of unexpected rain? And do they now stay in the pen til cleared or back to barn at night?
Yes, the shelters are out in the electric fence. Back in the barn at night. We may start leaving them out at night when the dog (great pyranese/Anatolian shepherd) is a little more mature and dependable.
