I would think they'd be fine for packing 50 lbs. The panels seem plenty rigid enough to support that kind of weight. But as I said, I haven't packed so much weight on my old fella for an all-day trip, though, so you might want to give Clay Zimmerman a call and talk it over with him.
One thing I like about the Sopris pack is that it's easy to use. There are no knots or hitches that have to be used to keep it on the goat or to attach the panniers. This makes it easier for people like my husband who did not grow up around horses and doesn't like fiddling with knots and hitches. It uses quick-release buckles to fasten everything together. It's also very well-made so it should last a long time.
