Just another quick question about transporting goats in a van...
How many goats do you tend to transport in a van together for shows?
I'm thinking of collecting up to 4 adult nannys and maybe one kid. I'm not sure how much space they need. It's a short wheelbase Transit-type van.
Totally fine - only slight worry would be the kid. Does it belong to one of the nannies? If you can have the kid partitioned off so it cannot be trampled on, that would be best. A hurdle across the corner?
Btw, very few goats lie down during transport, but some do. Some bedding on the floor, and if it a longer journey, I always have a couple of 5ltr water cans with me and a bucket, but you usually also get water at service stations. I normally drive through, but if you get held up, offering a drink at this time of year may be nice for them (but only if you can open the van without the goats getting out).
