Hello All
Not a big deal today with the goat boy's.
But something got done, We have been having a little cooler weather only 80's.
So all 4 got put up on the high line for the day as I had some run around stuff to do. They all survived.
If I am not here they tend to go walkabout and visit the nanny's were they came from.
Note To Self: Don't get wethers/bucklings from the farm accost the road were their dam's are.
Even after weaning they will try to get back to mom. The family jewels have been banded for about 3 weeks and are dead, but have not come off yet. I think I have a couple Momiee's boys and they know were they are.
Oh well goats are always interesting
=====================================================
All input welcome !!!
Question to all.
In my situation here in SC and the Trail Expeditions with interactions of "City folk" on the trails I have had.
Many Questions about Goat Packing, or even just going walk about with goat escort.
I have access to 2 places for free and have good trails that I have been using.
=================================
My "Wild" idea is to advertise goat escorted "Short" hikes with Pack goats "Supervised by me"
About a hour actual walking time. LET PEOPLE INTERACT WITH PETE AND SAM.
Carry their lunch and beverage in Sam's pack (My only goat old enough to pack for real)
Pick a good 1/2 way spot stop for lunch, and work back to the trail head.
Do a little nature talk, on the way,information on the area,trail story's etc.
I can be good at PR. :
it is a Talent learned from driving carriage tours.
Many other details to cover .
ASKING for opinions if this might be a valuable idea to pursue in my area of the east.
Of course it would be a paid service. In advance.
Meet and greet at the Trail Head, Introductions to the boys. basic trail manners, etc.
Explanation of Pack Goats, Saddle Fitting etc, then pack and hit the trail.
Ya'll out west think in terms of hunting or camping, I have this twisted idea of short hikes around here under supervision for City Folk to learn that Goats can be good critters to have around and use to hike with.
