Yup, MRI's and back pain are the biggest promotion of packgoats. Never spent much time in Texas. There is no better advertisement for packgoats than the goats themselves carrying your deer and elk meat out of the woods. You may be the catalyst for packgoats in Texas.
One humble opinion. There is no one right answer to your question about how many packgoats to raise at one time. Things to think about. Training young goats right initially can be a hand full. A few good start ups that get more attention and individual training may serve you better. You really don't want all your packers the same age, they all poop out together. An age spread will give you a longer span of strong middle age goats.
Welcome, and good luck in your research.
