@Sequestered Ridge Ranch It's on the list when I actually purchase a trailer. I plan, plan, and plan some more before doing anything. 10 years between joining forum and first sheep. I did have chickens in the meantime. :lol:

I think it took me 5 years between joining forums and getting sheep. Haha! Beat you!

Instead of sheep @Margali needs a good trailer to follow her home . . . . LOL
Sometimes that can take awhile to find that just right one. Sooner or later, the right one will appear!

I found our stock trailer on Craigslist and we were so excited. It is and has been a great asset, used for hauling sheep, pigs, horses and general stuff.

We bought our WW 16' stock trailer new over 20 years ago. We bought our first horse trailer used and it was a good Miley but not big enough once the kids started going to shows with the dairy goats. We shopped for a used stock trailer but the prices were so high on used ones (with bad floors and holes in the roof) we were not having any luck. Then we happened to find a WW dealer when visiting a friend. We were able to order our trailer with a second interior gate, all gates with slide gates, rubber floor mats, and it was only a few hundred dollars more than people were selling used trailers for. We keep it in good shape, and a few years ago I scrubbed all interior rust with Naval Jelly then sprayed the interior with a good metal paint. We will need to have it painted in another year or so and the roof rubberized. It has never been parked under cover (no cover to park under LOL). We plan to put up a big hay barn in Yantis and will park the trailers under cover on one side.

A good trailer lasts a long time if you take care of it. They hold their value too. I can probably get more for the trailer than I paid for it.
