I'm looking at this for a ramp for Cuzco: http://www.jefferspet.com/solvit-pet-ram...p/0028530/
It's too pricey for us right now, but it looks like it could really come in handy since it's lightweight and telescopes to a smaller size for storage. At only 6' long, the bottom of it might have to be set on a rock or a small slope so it isn't too steep. But then again, goats are pretty good at climbing some very steep angles as long as they've got good grip, which it looks like this has.
I never thought I'd see the day when Cuzco needs a wheelchair ramp to get in the truck! He's always jumped right up. For the last year or so we've been backing up to hillsides, stairways, rock piles, and anything else we can think of to give him a shorter jump. Sometimes there's nothing convenient, and that tailgate looks awfully high to an old goat whose muscle mass keeps shrinking while his fat deposits grow.
