Estimated cost of shed depends on type of shed whether it is elevated or ground base.Starting a goat farm with 50-100 goats is an commercial level,so in this type it is always better to built a elevated type of shed in which goats are being rested at night and are well protected from rain in rainy season,from cold in winter season and have to provide sufficient air(oxygen) in summer.In elevated type of shed,mortality(death ratio in goats and kids) will be very low as compare to ground level sheds that are built on concrete or tiles flooring.
For 100 goats and their kids which are being sold at their slaughtering age, 2000 sqft,area of elevated form of shed is required to rest these goats at night and at ground level minimum of 10000 sqft for their movement outside the shed which is fenced from all four sides.
For fodder cultivation 4-5 acre of land is required for 100 goats and their kids,to feed them for 365 days.Land must be fertile and with plenty of water supply,so the fodder will grow in shortest duration and can be available through out the year on cycle basis.Also land requirement depends on type of fodder that you cultivate on farm to feed the goats.

Costing of shed cant be posted here as,there is hike in shed costing every year.If costing is posted here,the post remains here for many years,and if a reader reads it after 5-10 year,he assumes that it is the present costing of shed,as many readers wont read the date of posting.So to avoid misunderstanding of readers(farmers who want to start a new goat farm) in future,costing is not published on forums.
