THANKS SO MUCH!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO LEARNING A LOT FROM THIS GROUP. I DONT HAVE MY GOATS YET, BUT I'M ON THE LOOK OUT FOR SOME ALPINE BREEDS BUT PICKING SEEMS SLIM IN MY AREA. I'M AN AVID BACKPACKER WHO LIKES TO SPEND MY TIME PACKING INTO THE MOUNTAINS OR WHERE EVER. I MOSTLY ENJOY VENTURING INTO THE WINDS OR TETONS. AS I GET OLDER I AM REALIZING ONE DAY I MAY NEED SOME PACKING COMPANIONS TO HELP SHARE THE LOAD AND I KNOW IT WILL TAKE A FEW YEARS TO TRAIN AND CONDITION MY NEW BUDDIES. I HAVE A SMALL FARM IN SC WITH HORSES. I USED TO RAISE SHEEP IN THE NOT SO DISTANT PAST SO I AM FAMILIAR WITH THEM... BUT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT GOATS. LOL...
