Hello, I live in Israel and interested in pack goats! I am a hardcore hiker and I want to extend my range, and maybe live as a nomad for parts of the year. I first looked at donkeys but I see goats to be more valuable. yes I cant ride one, but a donkey cant follow where a goat will easily be.
In the meantime I herd goats and sheep for a local herd, but in Israel there is no such thing as pack goats, so Ill practically have to do it alone.
I have question about breeds: the herd I work at is made of Damascus goat, Alpine and Baladi, and these are usually the most common breeds here. the damascus is bigger than the Alpine, and they are very friendly and great climbers. the baladi is about the size of alpine, has long hair but appearntly their milk is richer.
Any advice would be apreaceated!
