One is almost 2 months
Other almost 3 weeks
It’s been fun so far. Once I am more equipped it will be better as for their pen

Awesome! Are these your first pack goats? I had some for a while I never hunted with them but took them on training hikes quite a bit with there pack saddles and panniers. I had 3 but I figured I needed 6-8 to get an elk in one trip. I wish I still had them :tup:
Yes

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.

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

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

too much work for me, but epic.
Thanks for sharing.
The photos were especially cool.
