Hello and Welcome to PGC
I am on the other side of the country from you.
But in a lot of ways as Isolated as you are up there.
As far as goats go about the only goat activity here is County Fairs/Dairy Show goats or Meat goats.
Neither of which I have any desire to do, Got burned out Showing horses years ago.
I used to breed horses, and just got into
goats a year ago. But NOT going to breed them. no way no how.
Read my post here about "Stowaway Goats" and then follow on with the "Truck Chasing Goats" thread.
The later is a on going farm/expedition experience line about living with goats and using them.
South Carolina is very different than your neck of the woods
More People on the trails,Dogs, Not much worry about predatory animals.
I do carry fixes for both when on walkabout.
I think the worst 4 legged I could run into here would be feral hog. Especially a sow with piglets.
I have a old Labrador that the goats "Tolerate" around them, but when something strange happens they come running to Boss goat for protection. (Me) Yes, all 4 are well "Bonded Wethers"
Try getting a good pistol shot off with a couple 150# goats around your legs.
Have done it, but I have more than normal firearms experience.
My goats when I practice with a pistol on my range stand 25 feet behind the firing line with the look on their face "Your Messing up our lunch of brush."
You have a good looking goat and pup there.
Last item: We do have a about Horses Thread Nothing fancy just horses some of us use and have experience with.
Happy Trails
