Shake siding is easy. Just remove the old siding pieces and slip the new ones up into there position. Using long nails, fasten the new ones into place. If stained or painted, match it to the rest of your house.

What is the minimum distance you can keep livestock from a domestic dwelling?

This all depends on the kind of siding the building has. Vinyl or plastic siding may have harmful chemicals in it that could make animals sick if they chewed on it, plus it gets damaged really easy, even when an animal scratches itself on it. If crowding occurs along that wall of siding, there could be urine and feces that get on there that would have to be removed. Treated cedar siding is also harmful to livestock, because of the chemicals that are on the treated cedar wood. They also can come off easily if animals are scratching on there, and urine and fecal stains tend to stay on wood more easily than vinyl or tin. Tin siding tends to resist a lot of abuse from livestock, and is the best to have on a building that is inside or bordering a livestock enclosure. So, as far as minimum distance is concerned, it is best to have any building that has vinyl or wood siding should be at least 6 feet away from the fence. There are no minimum distance requirements for buildings with tin siding on them.
