Asked Michelle what the goat barn should rest on. She said most people do bare earth—and then add mats and straw and such appropriately. However, during wet/rainy seasons (like now) there is mud everywhere! (Feb. 1, 2024)
Layers:

————rubber mats/straw————
(depending on season)
—————–DURA mats—————
(for comfort)
———slatted wood “trap” floor——
(liftable for cleaning)
————flat concrete pavers———-
(can power wash periodically)
(can lift if needed)
————#9 limestone gravel———–
(for drainage)
—————packed earth—————-
