I’ve had both. Goats have worked better for us. |

Goats all the way. I dont need to drag them along, and they wont lay down out of laziness or run back to the trail head. I run a pack string, and if you find yourself out on the wet side hit me up. We do between 600-1000 miles each year. Got four new kids(baby goats) in training. We run between 4 to 6 on each trip. |

Do the goats take care of themselves as far as water and feed? |

Part of the reason I am leaning towards goats is that they also need less overall space at our house which would be nice. We will have our two horses out on pasture and if there were a couple llamas as well, not only is that a lot of competition of the feed but that is a lot of poop to clean up! I only have experience going in with horses/mules and the intent is to be able to bring whatever I end up with to the different states I hunt so that I can pack in a little more comfortable camp than what just fits in a backpack. It will also be nice to have them help pack out any meat when needed. |
