Buy four more than you measured for. You always do.
Goat
Rodeo
They will stand on your truck. They will find the one loose panel in a hundred feet of fence, and they will find it at 6am on a Saturday. Buy the fencing first. Everything else on this aisle is easier than admitting that.
Fencing & panels
Aisle one for a reason
If you buy one thing on this page
The 16-foot
cattle panel
Not field fence. Not welded wire. A rigid 16-foot panel with 4×4 openings, wired to t-posts every four feet. A Nigerian Dwarf goes through field fence like it's a suggestion and gets her head stuck in 6×6. This is the answer, it costs thirty-two dollars, and it will outlive the goat.
$400 of field fence, which lasted nine days before somebody was in the driveway.
Climbing. Nothing on earth fixes climbing. Move what they climb.
One strand at nose height. They test it once and remember forever.
Latch on the outside. This is not a small detail.
Lives in the truck. You will use it more than any other tool here.
A short and honest warning
Anything you leave in the pen is now a jungle gym.
The truck. The mower. The stack of pallets you meant to move. A goat's entire theory of the world is that the high place is better than the low place, and she is going to test that theory against your paint. This is not a training problem and there is nothing on this page that fixes it. Park somewhere else.
Feeders & hay racks
Off the ground or it's bedding
The pick
Wall-mount
hay rack
Hay on the ground gets stood in, slept in, and then refused. A rack at shoulder height cuts your waste by better than half and keeps the worm load down at the same time. Mount it high enough that a kid can't climb in and get stuck, which they will otherwise try.
Loose, not a block. Goat tongues aren't built for blocks.
Keeps rain out. Wet mineral turns into a brick nobody touches.
Because a bucket on the ground is a bucket on its side.
A treat, not a feed. Good for the twenty minutes you need them busy.
Hoof & health
Tools only — no medicine, ask your vetEvery six to eight weeks, whether you feel like it or not. The orange ones are orange so you can find them in the hay.
Expensive, and the one thing here that turns a two-person wrestling match into a ten-minute job you do alone.
Breakaway, always. A fixed collar on a climbing animal is how you lose one.
Shelter & bedding
Three sides and a dry floorNot cedar. Cedar oil and small lungs don't get along.
Heavy enough that two people carry it. Worth every one of those pounds.
Barn fires start with an unguarded bulb and a curious goat. Buy the cage.
The cheapest real shelter there is. Check the dairy sale barn first.
Ours —
the tooled panel
Goat Rodeo got the leather treatment: floral tooling, a hay bale, and three animals doing exactly what goats do. Small runs, and when they're gone we cut a new plate.
The whole tooling scene wrapped on a hard shell. Turquoise on the collars is the only color on it.
Veg-tan, one goat, your initials on the back if you want them. Gets better looking as it gets worse.
Printed on rough pine and sealed for a shed wall. Hangs on a nail, which is the point.
Everything else on this page is somebody else's product we happen to trust, and we make nothing when you buy it. These three are ours. That's the entire difference.
