Nanno is correct the consequences of not containing our goats at could be devastating to packgoat access in national forests and very lethal to our goats. Electrical fences are wonderful for base camp. My husband and I have spent many years archery hunting with our 3 packgoats. We have worked out the kinks with high lines and low lines but our favorite on the go portable containment is a horse picket tie out. Each goat carries his own. The tie out rope is a 6 foot lead rope with a swivel on both ends (Northwest Packgoat Supply). It sits on top of the saddle in case its needed in a hurry. The rope is a large gauge and short so as not to risk getting wrapped around a leg and strangle any thing.
