Love this stand! I'd tried building a wooden one, but it just didn't hold up. The Premier stand assembles quickly, is easily portable/storable, and has many bonus features. Knowing that the goats are safe and secure helps me better focus on the chores at hand. The optional side railings lift out for easy access and prevent the goats from wandering off the edges. The head restraint with feed pan keeps them both controlled and happily distracted. The height of the head assembly can be quickly raised or lowered and the base width of the head bars is adjustable to accommodate goats of different sizes. The middle setting works just fine for my hornless Saanen cross and pygoras. It's a great investment that provides reliable peace of mind - Recommended!
Shonda H from Texas
The stand is very nice! It’s a little heavier than what I expected/wanted. The head piece makes it super nice to hold them in place. I bought the side rails and I am super glad that I did. I can trim now without worrying about them falling off the opposite side that I am on.
Dawn S from WI
Works better then putting sheep on there buttocks. The rails are a must if your sheep are not used to halters.
Karen S from Texas
the ramp is very sturdy and looks like it will provide years of service. The only problem we have encountered is that if your stand and ramp are not PERFECTLY level, the ramp may 'hop out' of the hole in the stand. We do not have concrete pads or driveways in the pasture where we use this, so being perfectly level doesn't happen often! We just take more care when setting up and carry a shovel and small boards to level it.
We also bought the stand with meat goat headpiece. I do NOT like the screw that holds this headpiece. It can be very difficult to unscrew it to change the height. We have created a lever out of pvc pipe to give us enought oomph to turn the screw. The headpiece itself seems awkward for smaller goats. to compensate for short faces, we take the chain over the nose, hook it, then bring it back over and hook it again on the left, creating a Z shape of the chain.
Daniel R from Michigan
The headpiece functions well, the price is sane. I built a goat lift for handling my goats and used this to secure the animal in place. I drilled holes along the shaft to make it adjustable.
