These delightful homes on wheels were the predecessors to the modern day R.V.s. Sheep herders in the west would watch over sheep 24/7, continually moving their flocks to graze. Sheepherding wagons came with essential commodities like a stove, bed, and storage in a portable format. They are still in use today through some parts of the country for just that reason. They have also been used for guest house accomodations or as a camping alternative.

The following are some examples of the Sheepherding Wagons that Kathy Christensen has restored. If you are interested in purchasing or restoring a sheepherding wagon, please visit our wagon sales or contact Midwest Buggy at info@midwestbuggy.com.

It is said that in 1866, Charles Goodnight needed a way to keep his cowboys fed as they moved cattle. He bought and converted an old army wagon, so that a box was fashioned to the back of the wagon. It was engineered to fold out into a portable workstation for the cook. By doing so, cooks were able to prepare their "chuck" or food on the road. This simple contraption revolutionized the cowboy way of life.
