Pack saddle and panniers wanted - handtoolrevolution - 03-07-2024
First post. But, i am not much of a computer person these days-off the grid and all. anyway looking for a pack saddle and a set of panniers if possible?
I am in Pennsylvania and will honestly be putting them on ram sheep. already working with my herd sire and his son with a soft pack and weight, doing well and leads great.
open to any suggestions!
will be acquiring a dairy goat this year though don't worry.
would also be interested on "specs" to make my own out of wood as well.
Thanks -Lloyd Locust

Welcome! It looks like some packs are for sale in another post here:

It's a lot of stuff but a very good price for all that equipment.
I am also selling a like-new (used maybe once) Sopris Lumbar pack with panniers, rain fly, and several extras for $500. However, this is probably more than what you need to start out with. The Lumbar pack is for serious packing on big, strong, full-sized goats (or llamas, burros, or ponies). Here's the info for that saddle:

Good luck!

thanks for the reply. I just figured if anyone was on the eastern seaboard it'd make cost and shipping easier.
Nice pack. my lead ram is a big dude. so that pack would work
Right now though i am making my own saddle with y'd branches for hauling water and stuff sacks as panniers. a fun plastic free project that costs nothing at the moment.
a sheep's wool, till i shear of course, sort of holds the packs in place.

Good luck! I've heard rams can be pretty mean if handled too much, but maybe that was just if they were bottle raised. I'm not sure. I don't know much about sheep except that they are pretty different from goats in their personalities and that they shouldn't have as much copper in their diets.
