Ideas for hauling goats

[kingruin12]

I have a couple of goats a buddy gave me. They're good sized and about 2 years old, ready to work.

The issue I'm having is trying to figure out how to haul them into the backcountry. I have an F150 with the 5'7" bed.

I would prefer to not do a trailer for a couple different reasons. Have any of you guys hauled them in your pickup and how?

I've thought about a high rise canopy, building racks, etc. On a budget so I'm not going to go buy a marketed goat hauler for $2k+.

Do you have a link for reference? I can’t picture a dog crate big enough to hold a goat that’s 37” at the back and 160+lbs

Load em up and tie a very short rope to the front and middle of the box. They won't care. I wouldn't want to do this with more than a couple.

Guy I know hauled his kids 4H goats to the fair in the dog boxes he uses for hounds haha

They also make products like this for moving smaller live stock

I built a rack out of 2x4s and 1x6s it worked well
