I am also buying a buckling from Dwite this year. For my uses and where we take our goats, I really like the packers that he is producing nowadays.
Years ago when I was just looking at getting into goatpacking, I called Rex Summerfield about different calibers of goats for packing. He labeled certain goats, if I remember correctly..."Homestead Goats". 200+ lbs. Tall, as in 38+ inches. Deep chested. Strong rear-end. Strong legs, not fine boned. Capable of 3000 ft elevation differences in a day. 10+ miles per day. I think Dwite is one of the few breeders has it dialed in, from what I have seen.
