[TOU]

We have worked out the kinks with high lines and low lines but our favorite on the go portable containment is a horse picket tie out. Each goat carries his own. The tie out rope is a 6 foot lead rope with a swivel on both ends (Northwest Packgoat Supply). It sits on top of the saddle in case its needed in a hurry. The rope is a large gauge and short so as not to risk getting wrapped around a leg and strangle any thing.

Nancy, thx for your input...good stuff! As noted above I'm still "working out the kinks" as well. I really liked the thoughts of these stakes but weighing in at 1.2 lbs & a MSRP of $42/each stake alone x 11 goats...OUCH! May have to work on a design myself. LOL I found them as low as $32 but still. Any chance anyone has found a better price on these?
