Hello nebs and All
Here is the latest goat project here at BC1.
Transporting your goats/small livestock/ calves/piglets/etc.
To Start with:
I wanted a Goat Crate to move Pete and Sam when I go walkabout that would fit in our small truck. Not have to pull a trailer for just day trips or overnight pack camping.
Commercial ones are $4-500 or more.
This poor redneck dose not have that kind of Extra Cash around.
If I did I would be spending it on Prepper supplies or guns and ammo.
Just so happens my feed store has taken on a source that supplies all kinds of recycled food grade plastic barrels and 275 gallon square plastic totes that are enclosed with a steel tubing frame and on a steel pallet.
Rough dimensions 44 X 46 X 52 inches.
It will slide into small truck on its side.
Ok, Cut the top out for a door for the boy's, put some soft Rubber mates down on "Floor"
Mating was "Salvage" and free from a doggy daycare center that went out of business.
Cut (2) mat's (each 1/2 inch thick, put in "Bottom" and put a "Salvaged" Dog Gate on front with a cargo strap to keep goat boys in.
Of course I had "Supervision"
So the boys got to "Test" their new Goat Crate.

As to "Storage" when not in the truck.
They are going to have it in the Redneck Goat Shed for "Extra Shelter"
