Here is my son Jason, with my Packgoat Rufus, a 2 year old wether.
Packgoats have been used since the 1970's, and they are a wonderful pack animal that can be used to haul gear and food, pretty much anywhere that we humans can go!
Since packgoats can haul up to 40-50 lbs, why not buy 4 or 5 of them and let them haul my gear where horses can't go?
Heck, then I can stay in the remote regions of the Fitzpatrick Wilderness for 2-3 weeks at a time and only carry a daypack!

This is totally cool what you do with these goats. More power to ya! Well I just waned to say "Hey", I'm almost 50 myself, and so can relate to profile about healthy lifestyle, etc. I've been wanting to take off for a two year hiatus, but I guess the goats would only be useful in wilderness areas where they are allowed, and not on most "trails". :)
I have never hear of "pack goats"! That is awesome! Now, if I only could find someone to rent them from in MT!
