New goat packer in central Colorado

[Nanno]

Great info.  Looks like I will be looking for a custom saddle for this boy.

Not necessarily. My first goat, Cuzco, was an Alpine/Nubian cross and his back was the perfect, standard shape to fit a typical wooden crossbuck saddle. He had high withers and the very straight, ridged spine of his Alpine heritage. See how your boy grows out and make an assessment when he's about three years old. If he looks like he's pretty close to fitting a wooden saddle at that age, then by four or five he will probably fit a wooden saddle very well as the withers will become more prominent as he matures.
