Couple years ago, I was driving along a country road in Pennsylvania and saw a man and some huge dog or something in the distance. As I got closer, I could see the animal had a pack on it. Still couldn’t identify it.
Then, as I passed, I realized the pack animal was a goat.
Turns out the guy was doing a cross country walk raising money for an orphanage with his pet goat. I made a pretty good pack animal.

we raise meat goats....and sometimes we have to bottle feed a few ( 15 this birthing season due to being very cold during this birthing season}....once we hand feed them they can be used for pack animals. We get great prices for hand fed. Can be the most dangerous animal on the farm. I hate hand feed goats...been gorged a few times
