Hello and Welcome
I am in South Carolina close to Blue Ridge Mountains.
Only 1 goat of age to Pack (5) One 2 and 2 Born in March of this year that are just run a rounds.
All wethers and I do not breed.
See the story of the Stow Away Goats and then move on going to the Saga of the Truck Chasing Goats.
============
I am in a rural environment here mostly wooded. But when doing my trail work I do run into City Folk and their Dogs on the Trails I hike. Be prepared for dogs, both good and bad, read up on Goats and Packing here and else were because you WILL get lots a questions from City Folk when you go walkabout.
I enjoy watching people reaction when they see me and 2 Goats coming down the trail in file. It usually ends up as a stop and chat / Browsing Break for my boys. They never object to eating brush.
=========================
Packs.
I Packed horses and Mules/donkeys for a few years.
A goats back structure is totally different, as other people here have mentioned.
For a small dog pack, I have found dense foam rubber knee pads with a light blanket will work.
The Knee pad are what gardeners use to get down and weed flower beds etc.
Keep the weight down !!!!!!!
That is the important Part !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Trails and Welcome
