Goat Rugs - Soft Shell Coats With Belly Strap - Large Goats Canvas With Leg Straps
ICU Small Animal Goat Rugs
We are very please with our Goat Rugs Design with the help of Anna and Tim Shepheard owners of Jiel Anglo-Nubians in Tasmania.
I will admit that designing Goat Covers have been my hardest of all animals to design. But after parcels containing Goat Rugs going backwards and forward over Bass Straight we came up winners.
Our design is different to others more comfortable for the animal that a rug will sit correct and not swing around the neck stain placing on the shoulders and withers.
The rear of the rug comes forward enough for either kids drinking or you milking without fabric getting in the way of the udder. Long adjustable webbing is used for the surcingle which you can adjust the length for pregnancy as the doe becomes heavy in kid and also take in as required. Our ICU "U" cut around the tail dock does not place any weight on this area with nerves. The front of the rug comes with generous strap and the top of the rug flake sheep wool is sewn to prevent pressure on their withers.
We have 2 different fabric's for our Goat Coats
-
First one is 12% Canvas fully woollen lined with a 80% woollen blanket - Fully waterproof and fully breathable
-
Second Goat Rug is a 3 layer fabric that is Fully waterproof, windproof, warm and has a a 80% woollen blanket
Canvas Rugs With Leg Straps
Our last design is a plain canvas rug with leg straps more suitable for Male Goats: Or your golden oldies in retirement and you want to keep them warm and keep their weight on, and weather off
For the Buck or Wether there is not a Belly Straps for him to Urinate on or to get Semen on. Less smell more high hygienic alleviate infections. The leg straps and double "D" rings have been sewn in reinforced to stand hard play. When the rug is on your goat the Double "D" rings are under the rug, so if they rub up against a tree or fence they shouldn't get caught up.
We don't manufacture Soft Shell Goat Rugs with leg straps for a couple of reasons. Canvas is more robust where as our Soft Shell Fabric states Soft. While it is a good wearing fabric, l don't beleive if you have a Buck or Wether in your herd (trip) and your other goats haven't a coat on, the others will try and get the one wearing the blanket off. Canvas will withstand a good punishment from other goats, along with the environment that they live in.
Our 12oz Canvas is made here in Australia ensuring that you are purchasing a top quality fabric. Waterproof/Windproof and 100% breathable, the woollen liner is 80% prue wool. And a woollen blanket is one of the best wicking fabric there is, keeping the likley hood of overheating to a minimum, BUT you should always check your temperature when rugging any animal in any fabric you daily temperature. I always have taken off any rugs/covers/coats/jackets when the temperature is going to be over 20 -22 degree celsius. At ICU Small Animal Rugs we don't use any other canvas if a little bit of care is taken in the cleaning and storage, this rug should last you many many seasons giving you the optimum Goat Rug.
