Today I put the pack saddles on Bacchus for the first time in his life. He did the usual "try to pry it off with the horns" for 3 minutes and then, as it goes for most goats, he was suddenly a trained pack goat. He did act nervous on the 5 mile walk at first-- More than he'd ever normally be. But that may be because I didn't bring any other adult goat like I usually do. Instead I brought Vincent VanGoat, who did great. BTW Bacchus is only 2, but he's getting really big and looks magnificent in packs. He may be bigger than Shelby in the end. He certainly is heavier-- Shelby has that natural thin type of body while Bacchus has a more robust, rounder build.
Next trip I'm going to try the empty packs on Woodstock. I get the feeling he'll take right to it.
Sasha went swimming in the canal and at the end of the walk had no collar. She's been wearing that same one for 8 years so its sad if it is lost forever since it was a bit of a sentimental item. I may do the walk again and I'll look for it.
