[Cob] cob stable

[Joe Skeesick]

Didn't see an answer to this one, so I'll weigh in.

No, there is no reason you can't have a cob shelter for goats. I've seen 
any number of cob barns while in England. They are very prevalent 
(though more and more no longer house animals as they are often 
converted to homes). Be aware that goats climb everything and if there 
is even a minute chance they can get onto the roof of the building they 
will. Even my boer goats (very heavily muscled goats) manage to climb. 
Just make sure things are either too tall (and keep items away that 
could be used to step up onto the roof) and/or strong enough to support 
the animal once it gets there.

Good luck.
