howdy from Denton Texas

[Nanno]

I live in Colorado but I have a lot of family in Texas. I actually hosted a North American Packgoat Association rendezvous in Texas three years ago. Not many people came (we got majorly rained out!), but it was a really fun time with those who did attend. We held it down in the Sam Houston NF if I remember correctly. There was a lady there who was extremely helpful in getting us a great camping location and setting us up with a good project. Her grandfather used goats to haul cedar trees out of the forest to make fence posts in the early 1900's. He preferred them over mules. She told us he built fences all over the area, many of which are still standing.

You have many beautiful state parks in Texas. Some of them started allowing llamas a few years ago after the llama people got involved in the state park management meetings. I think the same could be done for goats if someone down there were just willing to head it up. Anywhere horses are allowed should also allow goats in my opinion.
