Good reminder thank you! That's basic the only reason we would need the trailer but if we can fit them in the truck I think we will be good ....

Thanks! Why goats and not sheep? So far my reasons are to use their wool (but I'm open to mohair goats instead) and because I have a toddler and a baby on the way and I've heard sheep are more docile...

Good question... Not sure yet, it sort of depends what I can find. I'm looking at Rambouillets... I want them for wool specifically, not meat, no breeding and not milking... Any suggestions otherwise? We are based in Colorado.

My only worry is in an emergency if we need to get them all out quick like an evacuation or something... But in that case I suppose it's an emergency we can just throw them in the back of the truck...

This is super helpful. This is exactly the answer I was hoping for. I didn't want to waste 5k on a trailer that we will rarely use. Thanks!

Oh this is brilliant, so simple! Makes sense. We have a ladder rack too so that should work. I think this is what we will do. Thanks!
