In the winter some goat owners may wonder if they should blanket their goats. Owners can always ask their vets for advice. Generally, blanketing depends on the goat’s needs. If you’re raising fainting goats then you may want to judge their blanketing needs based on their coat growth. If your goat does not have a very thick winter coat and he does not have access to a barn, stall, or at least a run in shed to protect him from the wind then you should consider blanketing him. However, if your goat has a healthy and full winter coat then he’s probably fine without a blanket provided he has some type of shelter. If you have no shelter for your goat and the temperatures are going to be in the single digits then you should probably blanket him.
