I am first time participating in this forum.
Actually i am landscape designer and now i design first time the Poultry and livestock area for my client.
I want to know about my attempt through your expertise.
Here is the design.

Design
looks good to me - wish i had that much space for a barn and livestock - but the size really depends on how many animals of each kind are supposed to be there. cows need a lot of space to wander and goats like to climb. so that could affect your design. of course if this is just "sleeping" space and they also have a big outdoor yard it wouldn't be such a problem.
It is small scale farm only for house used purpose.
2 cows and 3 to 4 buffaloes for milk and 8 to 10 goats for meat will bring in this farm.
The outdoor area will also use for above number of animals for sunlight and open air for animals and also use for bathing.
So what you say?
Thanks
Yasir
Yasir, it is so nice to have you post this. What a great idea, and looks like a beautiful design to me, but I'm no expert and have no goats or buffalo.
I would certainly keep the feeders close to the door, so you don't have to carry things too far. I guess you should imagine step by step how you would do things each day and what you would need, and what would be convenient.
If I might ask, what is the soft surface for? I agree with Light keep the feeders close to the door or make trap doors in the back side to have easy access to them.
Soft surface mean Clay soil surface.
The area is not open area, there are 2 main walls 9" thick and about 10' high.
One is left sided and one is down sided in picture.The feeders design with these 2 walls.
