Hello all, I just joined the forum and am looking for a little help to get me on the right track. Me and my family have lhad a few does, 2 alpine and 1 Nubian that we have been milking and recently I have decided that I’d like to get into packing. I have always been into backpacking myself but haven’t ever used anything other than my own back. I lie, I have put a few scouts as if they were my packgoats. Anyway, this week I’m going to look at an Oberhasli buck. He looks pretty solid and the alpine/Ober cross is something that appeals me for some pack whether. I’m going to need to buy all the stuff and any info on where and what to buy would be appreciated. Also training info and care of packgoats and how it would differ from my dairy does. Basically, give me what you’ve got, I’m really trying to learn here and I’m hoping by 2019 to have some whethers in training on the hills of Idaho.
