A friendly tidbit. Just making sure there is zero weight on the goats back. Mt cart is made to pull people with two goats. The wheels are placed forward so when we get on all our weight and the weight of the cart is off the goat. It's actually heavier on the goat with no one on it. Your beautiful goats did not look as if they were staining at all, so just checking. Blessings
Thank you for that. I did design this to be balanced in the middle when it's empty. I'll keep it in mind to have the heavier items in the back. Appreciate you mentioning it.
I'm thinking of something smaller to get me around the wilderness if the grid goes down. I usually travel by mobility scooter. It runs on two small lithium batteries which could probably be set up for solar power, but the bottom is very low to the ground and I could get stuck.
Wish we could have goats but our HOA won’t allow it 😂 this is so cool and it was cute watching the goats carry it around. All the goats tried hard but happy 😂. Have fun at the rennasance festival
I love this cart! I've been trying to find a cart for my Jeffrey to pull. We did a mock run through and he pulls perfectly. I just need the cart. I'd love to know what the cost involved was total. Can you help with plans, etc? I'm also in Florida. Thank you for such a great video!
Oh my goodness you're in Florida this is so awesome I love this card I had this idea and found your video I really want to do this and sell products on the roadside I am moving to a goat farm I had stayed there before but I'm going back and I have no income and I have to figure out something I have severe back issues so I'm trying to create my own job thank you thank you for this video now if I can find someone that'll donate sometime and we could make it with reclaimed materials or something and I can get this started I'm hoping and praying I think I would want to start over with a baby she's only eight many LaMotta I want a full-size lamancha
How did you go about training your goats to pull? We're a small startup farm. I'm currently doing a study on the cost/resource demand of equipment vs animal for small farms. After some studies of methods during the depression era, I'm finding that goats would be the perfect candidate as they were used as the "poor man's cow" for both small farm work and production.
My goats have always been adventurous and follow me all over. They quickly got use to a collar and lead and sometimes a halter. I trained some to carry backpacks, so moving them into tack was relatively easy. They've all been a custom to being around people to, so working at a festival was not too big of a leap either. The hardest part, like with Happy in the video, is getting them used to the noise and movement of the wagon behind them. If we hit a bump or root, the wagon rattles behind and scares them. Rusty and Buster seemed to do very well while Happy did not like it one bit.
Hi Stacy I have the harness from the Oregon company however im having a hard time with getting the axil and cart put together. Any advice? I also don't need a cart as big as yours, maybe half the size for driving them with me in the cart
I tried a few different things on the cart, the best one yet seems to be the tires I bought from Northern Tool with 5/8 berrings. I then used 5/8 threaded rod from home depot and bolted the wheels on the ends.

Hi do you have any measurements for your wagon 😊

I need that! (As Rusty eats the paper). 😆🐐
hahaha

thank you so much
I would love to visit you and your shop. Sadly I'm currently living on the other side of the world. But one day I'll come to visit America! :D
Great job Stacy!

Team Snazzy Goat has training manual…
Just found this channel. What a neat project! Will there be footage from the ren fair?
Welcome and thank you so much. I have a video of Rusty visiting the Ren Fair last year, but maybe I should get some footage of this year.
Hi Stacy! Do you plan on visiting the Brevard Renfaire again this year?
Hi, Yes, Ill be there starting this saturday on to the end in Feb.

What size piping did you use?
I think it was 1 1/4"
Do you sell the plans for your cart?
I did not draw out the plans, I'm the kind that can design it in my head.
