Phil and I saw some interesting ideas for goat transportation at the Billy the Kid Museum in Fort Sumner. It was a really cool museum that contained a lot of stuff besides just Billy the Kid displays, including an large horse carriage and automobile collection. I apologize in advance for the lousy photos. The light was difficult.
The first "goat hauler" was a decidedly custom vehicle made for a semi-paralyzed farmer who could not obtain a driver's license. So a local mechanic concocted this item using a lawn mower engine, several odds and ends, and way too many bicycle wheels (the photo does not even begin to show how many wheels this thing had!). It had a fishing bucket on the front and a narrow wagon attached to the back in which a goat was sometimes observed riding.
CharlieHorse, I couldn't help thinking of you when we saw this lovely 1920's goat hauler.
It has plenty of headroom for even the tallest horned wether.
