FINALLY!!!
Hey All,
I know Nanno has some of the Poly Dome animal shelters as posted on the old PackGoatForum. (www.PolyDome.com) Not wanting to speak for her but I believe she has been pretty happy with them and gave me permission to post about them here. Interestingly, I had also been looking for them as well at the same time she was, the closest dealer was the one she bought from in Central Colorado. (Jess...heck of a nice guy who I highly recommend who services Eastern Wyoming & Colorado.)
I looked at many options for shelters for my goats & even thought about building but I do not own the property my goats are on and wanted to keep their shelters portable. Besides holding up to goats...they also had to hold up to serious snow and wind. So for my money, I am convinced that there is a no better goat shelter available for the money....over the long and even short haul. These have a 2/7 yr warranty. (replacement/pro-rated) I think now, even if I owned my property, I don't think I would build.
Long story short...after years of waiting, Poly Dome finally has an exclusive stocking dealer serving Utah, Western Wyoming and Southern Idaho...ME.
There probably won't be a great deal of money in it but it should be fun and help pay some goatie bills. 
Anyway, I made an initial stocking order of several items so if you all are or know anyone looking for some of these items in my area, please free to reach out to me.
Some additional info on them from my recent local Classified ad:

Quote:Poly Dome animal shelters are for sale in the Ogden Area (West Haven); we have in stock Round domes, Mini-Round domes, square & Big-Foot's shelters. (We can actually get anything that www.PolyDome.com has available including snow-sleds, Calf Warmers, Larger Group Shelters, and Bulk Grain bins and many other agricultural supplies.) These shelters are perfect adult & young goats as well as young calves, sheep, mini-horses or alpacas...even large dogs. In addition to permanent shelters they make perfect nurseries & birthing shelters.
Poly Dome shelters are tougher than anything available and will last for year & years to come as they are made from polyethylene plastic which is resistant to impact, most corrosive chemicals and temperature extremes. There is absolutely nothing tougher on the market! (7 year warranty) Additionally the slippery surface makes it extremely easy to clean and tough for animals to climb on top of...including goats! (Polyethylene is also environmentally friendly because it can be recycled.)
Most Poly Dome products are one-piece with no seams or sharp edges. The lightweight of polyethylene makes even large units easy to lift and move (80-100 lbs). The rounds allow you to just flip them on their sides and roll it to the desired site & then stake/re-stake them down. The Rounds are extremely wind-resistant allowing wind to just flow around them when properly staked down. The rounds also let more sunlight in than square huts. In winter, turn their door toward the sun. For summer shade, face them away from the sun.
Features:
• Made from high-impact UV stabilized polyethylene
• Weighs approximately 100 pounds or less depending on model
• Stackable
• Easy cleaning
• Easy access bottle holders available (Optional)
• Bucket holder with 2-5-quart buckets (Optional)
• Hay Feeders (Optional)
• One rod to hold bucket holder in place (Optional)
• Center adjustable flow vent
