Goat transportation:
- Side boards on open trailers and pickups need to be not less than 54 inches high.
- Floor space - we have successfully used 1.5 square feet/goat for 50 to 60 pounders, 1.75 square feet for 70 to 80 pounders, and 2.0 square feet for larger goats.
- Commercial haulers commonly pack them tighter, saying that they haul better this way. It also reduces cost per goat, but only if the goat is alive and in reasonable shape upon arrival, but this may not happen under such conditions.
