How do you collect goat poop?
Collecting goat poop can be done using a variety of tools, including small tine manure rakes, pitchforks, shovels.
Scraping goat poop off the ground with a shovel is an inexpensive and efficient way to collect a small amount of the waste.
If you need to collect larger amounts of manure from your goats, an adjustable, lightweight rake is still quite effective. These rakes come in various lengths and are often sold in home improvement stores.
Take care when using a rake to make sure you’re not hitting the animals themselves or getting too close as they may be startled by the noise.
Once you have collected the goat poop, it’s best to put it into bags for disposal or composting purposes.
Plastic garbage bags work well for this and are easy to store outside after collection is complete. If composting, remember to mix it with other materials like straw, wood chips or leaves – and turn it regularly – so that it breaks down properly into soil nutrient content that your plants can use.

For those needing to clean up goat poop, a manure rake is an essential tool. Also referred to as a scooper, it looks similar to a small garden rake or hoe but designed specifically for dealing with cecal pellets.
It has one wide, flat tine on the end that performs the task by scraping off the solid waste from any hard surface. A regular gardening rake won’t do the job nearly as well because its tines are too stiff and thick for easy cleaning of goat droppings.
The correct tool for the job is made from polyethylene or stainless steel and consists of a wooden or plastic handle along with a scoop-shaped end. Its sharp edges make it easy to get into all of those hard-to-reach places and quickly break up cecal pellets.
The handle should be comfortable in your hand, providing an ergonomic grip when you are digging into manure pile messes.
Manure rakes come in different sizes and come with either simple locking mechanisms or related attachments such as bags to collect debris.
When choosing one, look out for those that have tines wide enough so they can pick up entire pellets rather than just breaking them into pieces; this makes them easier to clean and less likely to get stuck on surfaces or require extra work during disposal. Also consider:
- Weight – you want something light enough so you can maneuver easily in tight spaces but also durable enough to stand up against long usage times without breaking apart.
Adjustable rake for cleaning out goat manure
An adjustable rake can be the perfect tool to help with goat poop clean-up. This type of rake typically includes an adjustable head and handle that allows you to change the rake’s width.
- EXPANDS AND ADJUSTS - Garden maintenance is a breeze with the Professional EZ Travel Telescopic all-purpose rake! Perfect for clearing leaves or debris, this rake is also perfect for tight spaces. Easily adjust the fan head and telescoping handle to find the perfect fit for any yard project.
- MULTI-FUNCTIONAL - Great for working under hedges and in flower beds, the versatility of this rake is unmatched. The smaller head allows you to rake in between perennials without damaging the plants. It is ideal for raking through window wells, under hard to reach spaces, and in the middle of dense flower patches.
- ERGONOMIC HANDLE - Yard work might not be everyone’s idea of fun, but you don’t have to be uncomfortable while you rake. The Professional EZ Travel Collection telescopic rake is comfortable and durable thanks to our easy-grip, rubberized handle.
- GREAT FOR HEAVY LIFTING - Strong and lightweight, this rake is made from long-lasting aluminum alloy. The adjustable fan folds to a tighter profile, strengthening the tines and lightening large loads.
- DIMENSIONS: The handle telescopes from 37 inches to 68 inches for all your raking needs. The tough steel tines adjust from 7.5 inches to 21.75 inches wide.

This allows you to easily capture goat droppings no matter the size or shape. It also means that the same rake can be used on both large and small droppings, making it a great time-saver for all types of goat owners.
In addition to being adjustable, this type of rake often feature high-grade tines that are designed to last a long time and provide superior results every time.
Many of these rakes come with features such as ergonomic handles and durable construction, making them easy and comfortable to use during your regular cleanups.
Finally, an adjustable rake can often be fixed at any width, allowing you to adapt it based on the needs of each particular job. From collecting eggs in chicken enclosures to gathering scraps in garden areas – be sure you choose an adjustable option if you could use a hand with your Goat poop chore.
How do you clean goat waste?
Most goat owners build a small pen or enclosure in their yard to contain their animals.
While this helps keep the goats contained, it also produces a lot of waste that can quickly accumulate if not cleaned regularly.
To efficiently manage goat waste, you should use a specialized rake specifically designed for cleaning such messes.
Goat waste can be difficult to clean since it is usually quite dry and hard. Generally, using the correct tools makes all the difference in this task.
A good rake should have long tines that are spaced further apart than regular garden rakes and that are made of tempered steel or similar material. The tines should be sharp enough to easily penetrate and break up hardened manure without breaking if used correctly.
When selecting a rake for cleaning goat waste, you’ll want one with an ergonomic handle so you can reach nearer the ground from a comfortable standing position and with more leverage when breaking up clumps of manure.
Additionally, look for one with non-slip grip handles to help ensure your safety even when outdoors in wet conditions. The right tool will make the job a lot easier and quicker than trying to lift or scoop up chunks of dried feces by hand, and it’ll save your back as well!
How often should you muck out a goat barn?
Mucking out the goat barn regularly is essential for maintaining a healthy, happy goat herd. Efforts must be made to remove wetness and manure from the barn in order to prevent odors, maintain good air quality, reduce pest infestations and keep your goats healthy.
The amount of time that passes between mucks will depend on the size of your barn, the number of goats you house, and the types of bedding that you use.
Generally speaking, it is recommended to muck out a goat barn frequently because goats are messy animals.
When mucking out a goat’s barn or stall, it is important to use the right tool for the job. Rakes are especially helpful when it comes to getting rid of manure and bits of straw or hay from corners and nooks that may be overlooked with a shovel. Choose a rake with:
- Short tines for deep manure removal;
- Larger tines for light debris removal such as hay and straw; or
- Combination models featuring both short and long tines for all-purpose use.
Be sure to select one with durable construction since it’s likely going to get plenty of use in your goat barn!
How often should you clean a goat stall?
When tending to a goat stall, it is important to maintain a consistent cleaning schedule in order to ensure the health and safety of the animals.
How often the stalls should be cleaned will depend on a variety of factors such as the size of the goats and their living conditions.
In addition to regular cleanings, you may also wish to perform deep cleans. This can involve:
- Clearing away waste and soiled bedding.
- Scrubbing down surfaces.
- Disinfecting areas with diluted bleach solutions.
- Removing outdated feed or hay that can attract pests.
To make your job easier, investing in quality rakes designed specifically for pet waste can help you more easily clean up large piles of poop more efficiently. Be sure that any tools used in the stall are washed with warm water and detergent after each use.
How to keep goat yard clean
Maintaining a clean goat yard is important for the health and safety of your animals.
Goats that are allowed to live in unclean and uncomfortable living arrangements are more likely to become ill or injured.
Having a quality rake available to clean up the goat’s yard will ensure their health and well-being.
When selecting a rake, size and material should be among your top considerations.
Ensure that the head is wide enough to cover the entire area you want to clean but still small enough to reach tight corners in fences or other enclosed areas your goats frequent.
Wooden handled rakes are typically heavier than aluminum handled rakes providing more efficiency when collecting large amounts of manure.
A wire rake will work well for small goat yards as it is ideal for getting into hard-to-reach areas, whereas a hard plastic one will do the best job picking up solid droppings, hay and twigs from larger open yards.
If you are looking for an overall great rake, we recommend a combination from both categories as it could come in handy when having goats on both types of terrain.
Also, when selecting a rake, feel free to get creative! You can find various tools online that have been designed specifically for cleaning up goat poop such as pooper scoopers with built-in containers or even tractor attachments with adjustable handles for easy transport of droppings out of enclosures or contained pens.
