[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 559149, member: 27192"] Well, I have spent quite a few nights in the woods with my goats, nearly a months worth this year alone, and havent had an issue with a predator yet. I actually tend to sleep a little more soundly with them nearby, as I know their sence of smell and hearing is working even when Im asleep. Although, as best as the terrain will allow, I generally do pick camping spots that are wide an open vs deep in thick timber so as to remove possible stealthy approach routes for a night predator. Trailer wise, the best transport option I have had yet is simply an inexpensive stock rack in the back of my halfton 6ft pickup bed. I can get six goats into my six ft bed with the stock rack on it. My next favorite is a old truck bed trailer I picked up for a $100. Its got an 8ft bed, and a shell on top. I put a wood divider up the middle incase I want to take some horned and some non horned goats at the same time. I routinely haul 6 goats inside it, and its so light that my friends v6 pickup tows it with ease. [/QUOTE]
