What did you do today?

My experience is that most goats are born pre-trained for packing. My only problem is getting Bacchus to stand still while being saddled. I now have a nice halter so I can keep him from poking my eyes out with his horns as he squirms. Once he's saddled though, its like no big deal. The other goats had no problems whatsoever. Even the yak took to panniers no problem. I think I'll start doing some treat-training with Bacchus once this mud goes away. Its warming up at last and getting really sloppy out there. Perhaps I'll trim their overdue hooves too. LOL nah.
