I actually did have a guy call about a year ago, inquiring after our two Nubian wethers, which I had advertised in the Ag weekly, as to whether they would be useful as pack goats. They had already been sold, fortunately for him. :-)

Now, are you saying that you are training Nubian wethers as pack goats? I was under the impression that Nubians were not terribly useful for that purpose, as they tend to just lie down as soon as you put something on their back.

Nubians are not the best choice for sure. But this boy and one other I have are oriented to please. You have to really look at personalities.

Also because one of my kids let the Saanen buck into the doe pen at a critical time, I have quite a few Saanen-Nubian wethers this year. LOL.

One of my worst days last summer was staring at a huge saanen foot poking out of my smallest nubian doe. I did not like the feel of it when I pulled, and no amount of olive oil could get my arm in there.

Of course right before the vet arrived she pushed out both kids. :-)

So how can I get ahold of your Ag Weekly?

I have a breeder at my breederville.com training her herd of yaks for packing.
