Nice to meet you.  On the subject of educating your young goats, and as a person involved in working goats, I have concerns about Common Core pack curriculum.  I suggest home-schooling your goats and teaching classical packing.  There is no replacement for memorizing commands, and I find that goats taught Common Core packing will try to shortcut anywhere they can, including switchbacks.  Critical thinking is essential to calculating the best path.  Enough with the 'new math' stuff!  They'll never find a job if they're trying to do calculations by counting their digits... They dont have enough!

In order to teach them about classical packing, I need to learn first! Right now, we are working on how to walk. The buckling runs and jumps, but isn't much for just walking yet. lol
