Welcome! I'm glad you found us. Since you already know how to care for dairy does, wethers will be a cinch! They're generally very low maintenance and don't need grain or other supplements. Give them lots of attention and teach them to respect your space, take them hiking to keep them in shape, and that's usually all the "training" they'll need.
As for gear, a regular wooden crossbuck saddle should fit most Alpine/Ober crosses. After that it's mostly a matter of personal preference and what you want for panniers and accessories. Much of that comes down to individual preferences and requirements. www.napga.org has a list of packgoat equipment vendors with links to their websites. Are you a member of NAPgA yet?
