Hello Charlie Horse
RE: "The metal framework makes me worry about legs getting broken."
I agree.
Mark 1, REV.1 for inside the Redneck Goat Shed is a layer of the rubber mat over the top and exposed side.
It will be not be needed for transport and I do need to keep it light enough to load in truck. Mat will be "Detachable"
Now IF I had to haul in bad weather I would use the same mating around the outside as "Insulation"
The Tote is already a very good shelter on farm or as transport by itself. Price was right too.
BTY: I do have a camera looking into the goat boy's shed to see how they are using the goat totter.
Yes I "Spy" on my boys. After all I built the Red Neck Goat shed big enough to foal out a mare if needed, or keep a eye on a sick animal.
Moving on:
RE: Getting Gross
The trips I have taken the boys on have been "Short" and in the back seat (Folded down) with a rubber mat for traction.
1 Ton f-350 extended cab. No "deposits" a lot of back seat driving advice though.
As soon as they were unloaded everything was "deposited" in short order.
From what you say I got "lucky" ?
All of my goat expeditions here are probably going to be "under 1 hour" driving time.
The areas I want to play with the goats in would be very tight parking for my big truck that is the reason for making the Goat Tote to fit in the box of our Toyota. As well as gas mileage.
Last Item: " Other animals don't poop in their own den! "
Were did you hear that "Fairy" tail.
Any "Confined" animal will do what ever when Nature Calls, some are just "neater" than others.
I have horses that put everything up in "One" spot along the wall and pee in one spot in the stall. EASY to clean up.
THEN there are the mares that " Let Fly" everywhere and "Tromp" it into the bedding so you have to strip the stall.
I do think my boys are "respectful" of their shelter area.
But then they are outside "Free Range" every day.
I do mean "Free Range" once they are out of the Red Neck Goat Shed" the "Only" thing that keeps them close is their "Bond" to me. it is a pain, (I can endure) I can work on computer / take a 3-4 hour nap walk out of door and try to do something outside and goat boys are there "Inspecting" . I know they are 50 yards or better away yet they home when they hear, see or smell me? when I come outside? and come into see what is going on. Then hang around
Also I am working on a "motage" of my horses here to post. Also some historical horses I have been privileged to have.
I have had the privilege to be "owned" by a few good horses and one mule.
Now Goats are staking a claim on horse ground, they are not going to win but I will make a "working" agreement.
Happy Trails
