We need to take our 2 ten months old goats to our Vet to show us the proper way to trim their hooves. The only vehicles we have are a Honda CR-V and a GMC Canyon short bed pickup with a scooter attachment. We don't have a camper shell. Any idea of how to load our goats? Each vehicle is not able to connect a trailer. Thanks in advance!

A solid plastic dog crate is a beautiful thing. You can cover the lower half of the wire door with cardboard to limit spillage and fill the crate with pine pellets and wood shavings for a comfy ride. I'd stuff the crates in the Honda.
If you have to use the Canyon (I have one), make sure the crates are properly constructed and locked so the goats can not force the door open and you lose them on the highway. I'd also strap the crates down and cover them in a tarp because wind bothers goats.
