Transporting Goats

Success Guide For Raising Healthy Goats

Because goats are small, they are easy to transport. A baby goat can easily be transported in a pet carrier.

Many goats ride in the back seat of the family car. On a long trip, though, you'll have to stop once in a while and take the goat for a walk.

For long distances, the back of a pickup truck works better for both the goat and the human passengers in the cab. The goat must not be able to jump out and must be protected from wind. The pickup bed should be covered with a camper shell or a sturdy stock rack wrapped in a tarpaulin.

Add a little bedding to help the goat keep from slipping during curves or sudden stops. Also think about feed and water.

Restraining the goat by the collar will also be sensible, if not using an animal transporter.
