Hello from Israel!

It's hard for me to tell from photos, but when you look at a goat, look at the overall balance of his body. Does it look in proportion? In addition to a straight back, is the back long enough to allow for adequate saddle space but short enough to strongly support the load? Does the goat move athletically and with fluid motion? Do his hind legs step well up underneath him? And more than conformation, is the goat friendly and happy to follow you? Does he allow you to touch him everywhere and pick up his feet? Is he curious or his he fearful? Is he bold or timid? These are all things to consider when choosing a working companion.

Very good points, thanks! another question- is it possible to use a goat for towing a small wagon?
