Life Span of Large Goats

[Perry]

I had 4 pack goats who packed with me for many years. They packed until about age 12 and lived to around 13 years old.  In their later years, one was 185#, two were 200#, and one about 240#.  They were all alpines or alpine crosses.   We did a lot of pack trips, usually several each summer were a week long or more.

But I think there is a fair amount of individual variability in how long goats live.
