Nice job little 3 nails looks like you been listening to dad. the billy goat picture is awesome. The facial expression on your sons face is priceless. just curious how much weight can a goat haul?

My biggest goat can haul 70-75 ibs as a max load.  50-55 ibs is an all day type of load for him when he's in shape (he weighs about 250).  50-60 ibs is a typical max weight for a  good sized (200+ ibs) in shape fully mature pack goat. 1st photo is my big goat when i got him, 2nd photo is once I got him in shape.  Goats are basically the super cub of pack animals, they have some disadvantages if you want to pack in wall tents on a trail, however the worst possible terrain you can imagine, a goat is right at home, not to mention no leashes required (for hiking), no food and in our mountains a week without water.  Don't mean to hijack the thread, maybe i'll do another one soon all about goats, still in the early stages and just starting to dial it in.

 Definitely not hijacking! Good info. I'm sure people who seen these pics are curious.
