New and Looking for Trails

[GoldenTreePackGoats]

Wta won't give you that information, it's best to go to the government websites that way you no your covered. Most trails that are open to stock are also open to hikers just not the other way around. I believe it's mainly because stock tends to be harder on trails and the hiking trails aren't built for stock, neither of which applies to goats. We however try to follow the rules so we don't put packgoats in danger as a whole with land closures and what not.

There is another thread about dogs on the trail that has alot of input. But off leash are our biggest fear for our goats. We keep them leashed when we know others are around or if we see dog tracks because we don't want our goats to run. I would rather put my goats behind me so I can yell, smack, pepper spray, or as a last resort shoot the dog if it latches on to anyone (which happened to me on the trail.)
