I'm posting this for a friend, Cannon, that sold us our wonderful Alpines wethers last year. Cannon does not have convenient internet access and so I'm trying to help him out! He is wanting to sell a few of his goats and gear. This is an amazing, strong, mellow herd. They live a nomadic lifestyle so these goats have impeccable trail manners and conditioning. He has 2 wethers:
Jester: 4 year old Alpine, horned, weight is approximately 250 lbs and is HUGE! He is routinely packing between 50-60 lbs.
Faceplant: 2 year old Alpine, horned, weight is approximately 200+ lbs and is still growing. Cannon has started Face carrying some weight (20-30 lbs). Based on the size of his sire and Face's current size, he expects him to finish closer to 300 lbs.
To go with the boys, he has 2 sets of handmade crossbuck saddles and panniers. These were custom made by a friend of his and are in great shape. He also has several starter soft-packs that he will include.
For the two goats and all their gear he is hoping to get $1000.
He also has 3 does for sale. His does have been bred for trail life. They have compact udders and the conditioning to walk all day.
Lily, 5 year old Alpine, currently in milk and giving 1/2 gallon/day. $300
Raven, 2 year old Alpine, currently in milk and giving 1 gallon/day. $300
Galaxy, 1 year old Alpine $100.
These girls would be a great addition to any herd but especially those that are interested in breeding for packing traits.

For inquiries or more information, please contact Cannon 586-262-7216. If he does not answer, please leave a message as he will be going into town every few days to check! Thanks!
