Over the years I have converted utility trailers into livestock trailers. We have been raising goats for over 20 years and have discovered that no one builds small livestock trailers. When you raise goats, you need a trailer. So, we built one. That led to building and or converting around 24. Other goat breeders learned the same thing we did. They are just not commercially available. Here are a few we have converted and a few built from scratch.

They look well built and nicely finished too. The convertible top is nice for the animals too. Keeps sun and rain or snow off them. Nice work
