I have been creating paddocks in my 300 ft. long nursery yard. I said 330 feet in the video but it is 300 ft.. The nursery yard paddocks are 100 ft. x 35 ft. ( 3,500 sq. ft.).  Now I am cleaning up the does goat yard to create 3 more paddocks, one paddock estimated to be 86 ft. x 43 ft. (3,698 ft.) and two possibley 86 ft. x 47 ft. (4,042 sq. ft.), giving us a total of 7 paddocks for the does. The 7 paddocks square footage being 25,782 sq. ft., a little more than 1/2 an acre. This video is day 1 of April 1, 2024 and day 2, April 2, 2024 of work our youngest son Steve and I completed. My son informed me I said May 1st. I meant April 1, 2024. I stand corrected! 
The purpose of the paddocks is to help control the Barber's pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) parasite that is devastating to goats when it gets out of control.
