Finding a helping hoof: Using your goat for packing
ОглавлениеGoats are social animals and, after you establish a relationship with them, they love to spend time with you. They enjoy going for hikes and can go almost anywhere you can. Not only that, but they can carry your belongings, they find plenty to eat right there in the wilderness, and they make great companions.
So why not take your goat packing? Ideally, you select a large wether for packing and then take the time to train him to obey commands and to carry your gear. Goats are surefooted, excellent pack animals and can help you work, whether it be gathering wood in the forest or just carrying your belongings on a holiday hike. Chapter 8 tells you about training your goat as a pack animal.
