Hey guys! :) - Emma - 03-14-2014
Well, thought it was about time I made it over here.
I recognize some of y'all from TGS, as that's where I found out about y'all. My name is Emma, I'm from Michigan, and I'm pretty new to packing. I breed Alpines, just got into it a year ago. When I picked up my first two kids, I figured my doe would need a buddy (who wants just one bottle kid?), so her brother ended up coming home with us too. When he was about four months old, the idea of having a packgoat really set in, so I started working with him more. I'm proud to say that at the county fair, he was the only one who crossed the water obstacle in the obstacle course like a champ. 
So, he's a yearling now, and I hope to get out and do some hiking with him this year, then add a pack next year for some short, light trips. Anyway, this is Oliver. (Who may occasionally be called 'Spaz' or 'Mr.Ham' ...or 'Little Sh*t'
)

Welcome! I'm glad you found us. You've got a cute little hiking buddy there. Good job on the water crossing! Looks like his ears got a little cold when he was born and got frost-nipped. Makes him stand out. I like unique goats.

Thanks for the welcome.
Yeah, sure did. He was the lucky one though, his sister lost a chunk of ear. Their ears were floppy as kids, gradually got better. He's the one on the left in this picture.
