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.
