Ahhh, you didnt realize that part was for sheep! You must have thought I was crazy. My goats, all I have to do is open the gate and tell them, "whatever you do, do NOT go into the other pasture" and they are there before I can blink

Well daisy had two kids, so I thought I would update.

The makeshift milkstand works great

And daisy is a great little milker. She has never even been in a milkstand and she is very good about it. Easy to milk teats considering I can only use three fingers on them.

I had to get the bigger wagon, not the one pictured in the first post. Just because the cheaper wagon was too poorly consructed. Plus I like yellow better. I can even sit on this one and it is fairly stable.

Thanks! It works in a pinch for sure. Put it together in 1/2 hour, from box to yard.
I wouldnt put a full size goat in it, the metal is not strong enough, but a better wagon Im sure would work.
I was going to hacksaw off the bottom of the head piece, but, with the snow and mud i can jam it into the ground and it wont roll
