Conformation Help

[GoldenTreePackGoats]

I'm not sure which section this should go under, nor could I find a thread like this but if admin wants to move this over somewhere feel free. 

I couldn’t find a thread just about conformation which could be really helpful. It would be easier for the new people to search conformation and find a thread with it in the title. There are always a lot of questions about pack goat conformation and even though there is a lot of information/opinions out there I know I struggled/struggle with seeing it while looking at a goat. Of course personality and attitude is a huge part of what makes a good pack goat, I would love images to compare so I can better get an understanding of what is desired so that my breeding stock can morph in time to a more ideal shape. Again there are a lot of written suggestions, and single images scattered throughout the interwebs but this could just be another source for the new guy.



I’m hoping that by posting a couple photos of 2 bucklings I’m looking at I might get some more experienced packgoaters opinions, and what they see. By seeing what you see, I can learn better what to look for. I hope others ask too, plus it’s a great way to show of your goat!


These Alpine bucklings are 2.5 months old. The dark colored one is a bit wider all the way through, the chamois is slightly more narrow.
