The most practical house for a male is a simple kraal, a minimum of 2m x 2.5m, but 3m x 3m is even better. This ensures that the buck gets sufficient exercise and if it is also handled gently but firmly, there will be minimum risk of it becoming aggressive
A shelter is placed in one corner. If this corner is not naturally high, then it should be raised using compacted murram soil, or bricks. This ensures that there is a dry bed for the buck.
Fodder should never be thrown on the ground, but should be tied up or placed in a feeding rack. Water should be regularly available and placed where the goat cannot foul it.
