Experienced packers

[Nanno]

That seems high to me. I know this person has put a lot of time and money into this goat for four years, but a seller doesn't usually consider making money by raising packgoats to maturity. It seems like $400 would be a more realistic price for a good packer, and $600 if he has amazing conformation, attitude, a lot of experience, and is very well-trained. At a $600 price point I would expect a goat that knows the "whoa" command, will stand untied while saddled and loaded, loads easily into the truck on the first command, walks obediently on a lead, knows how to tether and stand tied, is great about having his feet handled, crosses water easily, is good with kids, etc. I know the goat is worth a lot to the owner, but that doesn't mean he can expect the goat to be worth that much to a buyer.
