Transporting in a car

[greenmulberry]

I don't think anyone noticed, the back windows are tinted, and also covered with road salt spray, so we were pretty incognito.

I do wish I had left a back window a little open for ventilation. Opening one up front made me too cold.

Oh, spinning. Well I think I will learn to knit first! But eventually I will spin it. I have several friends interested.

Right now I am just concentrating on taking good care of them. Two are pregnant! Fortunately, the spotted polled one is an experienced momma, 5 years old, has always twinned easily without help.

Wow…I will have to show the hubby this one…he complains about me transporting goats in a kennel in my van.

I thought for sure you were headed for disaster congrats on getting them home contained with no leaks…that's VERY impressive! Beautiful sheep and best of luck with new babies!

I transported 6 weanling goats in the back of my Matrix (smaller than an Element). I strung a tarp up like a bowl and put down hay. It wasn't enough hay. They were swimming by the time we got to Tennessee.

The person behind me in the Wendy's drive through was taking pictures. A girl working at the Wendy's came up to the window and asked why I had goats in my car. I had to stop at Mejers at one point and when I came out, someone was taking pictures of the back of my car.

You would think that transporting livestock in your car was something weird.

Glad you got home fine. I worried for weeks that someone sent those pictures to the Humane Society or PETA.

to most of these posts! Glad you got them home with no problems!

It is funny, back in August I was bringing a doe (the one in my avatar) home, Put a diaper on her and set her in my lap (I wasn't driving) and all is well! The seller was taking pics the whole time laughing her butt off! That is how most most of our goats are brought home! LOL Never had a problem!

Congrats!

I don't think it takes to much to get people staring. We've transported sheep in our "goat cage" ( that's what they sold it as). It's like a livestock rack but it slides in and has a top.

Any who... when ever we do trips through our states capitol people take photos and such...The rest of the state is more enamored with the goat cage than with the fact we have sheep in the back.

I transported my moorit Shetland wether home in a dog crate. We stopped at the gas station, and he started yelling at the top of his lungs. Some guy came over, stared at him for a minute and asked "What the heck kind of animal is that?!"

We often let our Macaw ride on the steering wheel when we get caught in traffic and I'm amazed how many people think that all parrots are named Polly.
