1: The ground should be flat and dry for easy cleaning. The ground should be easy to remove and replace, and it should be cleaned and disinfected frequently.
2: The wall can be made of masonry or earth, which can be determined according to personal circumstances and economic conditions. The height can be 2-3 meters. It can be lower in cold places, which is conducive to heat preservation, and higher in places with high temperature.
3: The width of the door is generally 1.5 meters, and the height is 1.8-2 meters according to the situation. The window area is generally large, and the window sill is generally 1-1.2 meters away from the ground, which is convenient for ventilation. Try to avoid wind and sun and be close to the water source.
4: The activity field is about 3 times that of the sheep. The fence is controlled between 1.2-1.5 meters. The ground should be slightly inclined, and the ground should be some sandy soil with easy drainage.
5: Regarding the area of the sheep house, it depends on the number of sheep. It should not be too crowded. Otherwise, the air in the sheep house is dirty and humid, which will hinder the health of the sheep. The lambing ewes are 1-1.2 square meters, and the rams are raised separately for 4-6 square meters. Small rams are 0.7-0.9 square meters, 1-year-old ewes are 1 square meters, and 3-6 month lambs are 0.5-0.8 square meters!
