I'm looking for up to 6 seasoned pack goats and/or prospects. I would prefer big strong goats with plenty of energy and endurance.
I have extensive experience packing with horses and mules all over the Rocky Mountains but I sold my large horse property and all the large animals two years ago and would like to give some goats a try. Plus, the mules and horses could never make it to my high country mule deer drop camps so I'm thinking goats may be the ticket!!
If anyone reading this has leads available for pack goats or breeders with current available goats for sale please contact me.
Also, if anyone has feedback on the best pack saddles and equipment to use for goats please share.
What are your favorite breeds or crosses? Saanen, Alpine, etc.
One last question, I've noticed from pictures online that goat packers never seem to tarp wrap and diamond hitch their packed loads. Is there a reason for this?
