Livestock paddocks
Livestock Lifestyles
Different animals require different housing solutions. Not all livestock paddocks are built the same. Growing up in the farming community on the Saanich Peninsula, we are familiar with livestock breeds, big and small, as well as the spaces they need to thrive in.
Cattle, sheep, goats, llamas and alpacas are commonly raised in free-ranging areas but still need somewhere to get out to the elements and keep their feet dry during the wetter months. Properly constructed livestock paddocks are essential to proper husbandry and long-term care solutions.
Poultry are the most commonly raised farm animals in Greater Victoria and are especially vulnerable to poor living conditions. Wet and soft ground conditions can cause disease and severe health issues in most flocks; proper surfacing and drainage are the best ways to prevent health hazards and help keep your flock from issues.
