Why Our Mineral Cart Works

🐐 A Smarter Way to Feed Minerals to Your Herd

At Unbowed Meadows, we raise goats in the unpredictable extremes of Northeast Texas. We care deeply about animal health, safety, and regenerative pasture management. We needed a mineral solution that matched those values.

That’s why we worked with Screaming Goats Woodworks to create a cart that delivers 22 free-choice minerals to goats and sheep safely, efficiently, and with zero daily hassle.

💡 What Is a Mineral Buffet, Anyway?

Free-choice mineral systems let goats and sheep choose what their bodies need, when they need it—without guesswork from you.

Our cart is designed around the Free Choice Enterprises 20-mineral plan, with added compartments for salt and baking soda, bringing it to a total of 22 compartments.

Goats are smart: they’ll climb, dig, and even stand on other goats just to get what they’re lacking. Our cart gives them access in a way that’s safe, clean, and stress-free.

🔧 Built for Goats. Designed for Real Pastures.

Each mineral cart is handcrafted from pine wood, premium hardware, and topped with a heavy-duty WeatherTech mat to protect the minerals from rain, wind, and playful hooves.

✅ Horn-safe & kid-safe design
✅ Heavy enough to resist tipping, even with full-grown does climbing
✅ Portable for pasture rotation or permanent placement
✅ Field-tested in every season from freeze-thaw rainy winters to dry, windy summers

Your goats can safely use the cart without the dangers of sharp corners, entrapment, or materials that fall apart.

🐐 Why Not Just Use a Block or DIY Setup?

We’ve been there. We tried blocks, trays, DIY freestanding feeders and DIY mineral trays screwed into barn walls. What we got were:

• Broken trays
• Unsafe access for horned goats
• Wasted minerals
  

Our cart prevents injury, protects your investment in minerals, and gives every goat, from Nigerian Dwarfs to Boars, a way to stay healthy.

🛠 Built to Order. Built to Last.

It takes 20–22 hours to build each cart by hand. Many customers start with one or 2 carts, then order more for every pasture. Our oldest carts are over four years old and still going strong.

We deliver across the lower 48 and offer flexible payment options through Shop Pay.
