4.5 YO Nubian Wether - experienced. Denton, TX
#1
Chester by the numbers:
·      a 4.5 year old Nubian pack goat. 
·      Born Nov 2018
·      His weight ranges from ~160-175#, averages 165#
·      He is 34.5” at the withers
·      $800 – for sale only to a fellow pack goater
·      Located in Denton, TX
 
What I love about Chester:
·      I am the 3rd owner – have had him for the past 2 years
·      First owner- As a baby, was bottle fed by a 4H kid.  He outgrew the kid, and was given to my cousin.
·      Second owner – my cousin raises kiko’s - Chester lived in a heavy wooded ~100 acre parcel of land and “ran” with his herd.  Lived IN THE WOODS during that time.
·      I got him in 2021 from my cousin because I really liked his build, and I thought he could make a great pack goat.
·      Chester is an absolute sweetheart.  He will buddy up to any human, goat or cow.
·      I’ve used him to pack a couple deer. 
·      I also used him for a week-long scouting trip in summer 2022 in Colorado.
·      I’ve also taken him on a 5 day elk trip last fall 2022.
·      He has really large hooves and is very sure footed.
·      He is easily the most confident/nimble of my lot of 6 pack goats in navigating blowdowns, water, etc. He walks with confidence because he lived in the woods for so long.  Blowdowns don’t confuse him at all.   
·      His hooves grow pretty normal, making him easy to trim. 
·      He’s very lean, and packs very efficiently.
·      Has long legs and a skinny torso – very high ground clearance. He just “steps over” a ton of stuff that other goats would hop over, or jump up on.
·      If I could have 6 Chesters, I’d love that. Favorite goat in my string.
·      He loads great in the back of a truck.  If the tailgate is down, he figures it’s time to roll and will gladly load.
·      He is crazy strong.  If you have him on a leash, try and keep up.  Chester is a mover and has incredible pull strength.
·      I’ve heard that Nubians tend to be lazy or noisy, but he’s neither. 
 
Chesters liabilities:
·      He’s too danged nice.  Other goats tend to abuse him, and he doesn’t “fight back” hardly at all.
·      One of his jerk brothers horned him so hard in the left hip in early April 2023 that it broke the skin. 
o  I had to have him stitched up.
o  He’s recovering fine, but I just can’t “run” him with his jerk Alpine brothers in good conscience. 
·      Nubian horns don’t look that cool.
 
If you are interested, lets talk on the phone about him.  I’ll tell you everything I know, and I’ll miss Chester when he’s gone. PM me.
