Should I integrate my pack goats with a non-pack herd?

I think by about a month they'd easily be ready to integrate with Nigerians. I don't think you need to worry about bad habits. Goat herd interactions are important for the best social development in my opinion. The biggest reservation would be if the ND herd is skittish or wary of people. Another problem that crops up is that your goats may bond to the other goats more than they bond to you. This can make it difficult to leave home and make them harder to train on the leash, to load in the truck etc. However, most of us deal with this issue in one form or another. Most people with packgoats have more than just 2 or 3, and we don't always bring all of them along, so we must deal with training our goats to leave their buddies. It's not difficult as long as you're consistent about taking them out with you, and you intentionally spend time bonding with them.
