Incredibly, amazingly, that went extremely smoothly! The goats went into the horse trailer with very little cajoling needed, and all exited the trailer back into the pen! The only part that didn't go well was that the leader livestock guardian dog was very worried when he got back to the barn and the goats weren't there, and kept whining until we let them out of the trailer. He's Such a Good Boy.
Ok...we'll try this again tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Day 2 of the horse trailer trial also went really well! Loading the goats is still a bit chaotic (and today the livestock guardian dog ended up in the middle of all the goats in the trailer briefly, but there's a little door that he can get out that the goats can't easily, so we let him out rather than making him stay in with the goats for the ride). They cleared another little area of invasives leafy spurge, wormwood, and thistle. Yay goats!
