Thanks for your support! Cheers!
Wow, they are really strong for their size.
I really enjoy how they each problem solve and go up their own way
Yes. With no leads to get tangled up too. Much preferable to a pack string/safer imo. One problem is big predators, so taking a guardian dog is a good idea…
I would have to say after watching the Goat Guy crew is that his team is very smart, trained well, sure footed, and loyal. Thanks for sharing the journeys with us all 🐐🎥💯👍
ingenious and beautiful at the same time! goats are such nice animals❤️🐐
Wow! This is amazing
Aww goats are so sweet 😊❤️🐐
I'll be getting a pack set up in the next couple of months from you for my goat, it's going to be great having help in the mountains and a buddy at the same time !
How did it work out? I was thinking about getting a goat for lawn care but i would definitely take one hiking
Those cloven hooves are awesome!
Think a few wethers and a burro might make me some good prospecting company! Do you pen them or tether them at night? Or do they stick close? I figure, if I foul up, I can ride the burro down to camp and thence load everyone into the truck, and to the ER I go! Maybe take a milking nanny or so, and her little boogers for entertainment and maybe sleeping bag heaters! I would be half afraid that I would have too much company in the evening though!
what kind of goats are them. im thinking my goats are too fat for this kind of work
Idk why but this cracked me up LOL
What kind of goats are they
Some are alpines and others are alpine mixes
Alpines, Lamanchas, and Oberhasli make good packers, but make sure the lines they come from have good sound genetics. Generally won’t go too wrong with a full sized dairy breed. I have Oberhasli and they are surefooted enough for this.
Just make sure you don’t buy goats that are too LONG IN THE BACK because they will have more spinal problems. Nubians are noisy. Lol
Buy some packs and start with a light load and hike the fat off of them. They love working, and you'll be amazed, both in their capabilities and how fast they turn that fat into muscle.
Plus they can pretty much indefinitely haul 25% of their body weight around and still navigate any terrain comfortably.
They love to work, and they make backcountry camping so much more fun and accessible.
awesome to see, awesome!! thank you!
Oh, God yes! They are so perfect for Backcountry mountain packing! I love all God's creatures, but absolutely nothing beats goats for rugged terrain!
The one with the red pack was like I dont have time for this bs 🤣
Can’t wait till my goats are big enough
Dana Keith fun fun!!
I'm also thinking of kids...
My parents will be upset at the gender revelle party..ha
Three would be perfect for hiking.
Happy training
Please help us by teaching a technique to carry some water on our goats without these kind of rigs as in india it is not easy to find and it will be too expensive if I get it
So please teach us a simple way to do this🙏
That’s awesome
I have goats. They would never be able to handle this being born and raised in my backyard (in the city) 😂
That is pretty cool
I love it
Death Stranding on cheats.
I only need one or two
I want one. 😂
Is there a goat that is good for packing/pulling a small cart, fiber and milk?
Wow how did you train so many to be so good, I can only get like 3 out of my pack to actually listen proper
Lotsa time on the trail. That’ll even make a bad goat good.
Wow this is so interesting. Love it.
they can pack a punch ;D
Whats your opinion on pack llamas?
Just not as good a choice for many reasons in my opinion and wasaaaay more expensive on every level.
I’d use goats to carry my caviar and crackers up to mountain meadows
How would you handle someone's off leash dog coming after your goats trying to chase or harass them? I take great pride that my horses and mules are broke to mountain bikers riding by, and now I need to break them to goats and lamas too.
If his goats are anything like mine they will "handle" a dog themselves. And mine doesn't have horns.
Shit them aren't American farm goats lol. I need a few of them my self. Bugging out made simple
How far do humans go for cruelty and their egos 😔
You’d rather the goats be at a slaughter house or in the wilderness?
I think these goats are having the time of their life
