The goats used it right away. Easy to install. All the good reviews I read convinced me to purchase and I am very happy with it!

I love these brushes! Before these, I’ve tried brushes for brooms and they weren’t sturdy enough for the sheep. I have one attached to a utility pole and one to a barn support pole. I have both the small and the large. I’m in the process of ordering two more.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! I now have scratch brushes in my goat’s houses, all the horse stalls, and I just put them into the pony stalls.

I bought two of these XL ones to add to another brand that I have had for over 20 years for my Charolais cattle. The bristles on these are not as stiff as the other brand that I have, I’ve only had them installed for 3 weeks now, so time will tell how long these will last. I wish they would send you a review after you had something for 5 years, then you could write a true review on that product after a lengthy use. Hopefully I can say they are good after 5 years. Hopefully you understand my stance on a product review so soon.

My goats love the brush! It comes with large screw bolts and I wasn’t sure how that would work, but we drilled holes into the fence post first, then my husband used a ratchet to tighten them in.
The first day the goats acted like there was an alien in the pen, but by the 2nd day one of the younger goats was scrubbing her face against the brush. After that they were fighting for space on the brush.
We got the large one, and two goats can comfortably use it at one time if they get along. We are thinking of getting another one to put inside the barn for winter.
