That’s pretty cool!
Does he still ride in your 4wheeler rack?   

Yes.
No quads this trip though. Maybe in a few weeks

I need to make a goat trailer for quad

Very cool. I’ve read about them a bit but please, provide some more info sir. What can these critters carry for weight?

Depends on goat. 25-30% of body weight from what I read. 165-200+ is goat size.
I got mine from a dairy farmer, so they are not “pack” goat line. I’m not a crazy hiker, got them to help dad out and give daughters something to raise and give them entertainment while we are out.

This is pretty damn awesome. Some happy daughters I'm sure!

Everywhere I went he went
Didn’t use leash once, was fun
Next year he will be useful

should be 3 yrs old before any weight in packs and 4 when you can load them

Our biggest guy. 225lbs he is a machine on the trail. He can easily pack 60lbs

Yeah, that part is a bummer.

Got out today. Me, daughter and Clark got hit good with ground hornets. Clarks eye swelled up good.
Also got a new one, we will see with him.

Congrats! Packgoats are addictive and simple much fun. A couple of my boys....

[n_mathews13]

Lots of sign and berries
Heard a bugle
No bears yesterday but the goats did fine
Think there was some “establishing pecking order” sparring. We all loved to come home though

[blusc21]

I had no idea this was a thing. the wife and I have already been talking about getting a goat or two. is there a specific type you get? what is their temperment like? the only goats ive known were like wary dogs, once they warmed up to you they wouldn't leave you alone.

[n_mathews13]

Can’t wait to get weight on all of them
First time having them on a successful trip

[n_mathews13]

No bears
Good time with daughter though

Started my goat trailer for behind quad
