Favorite breeds for packing?

[Missy]

Hi Nanno sorry I didn't respond to your post. Right after reading it I had the opportunity to get three little Alpines! And because you said that Alpines made a great cross with your Nubians I thought they would be good for my Boers too! In the few weeks I have had them I have noticed they have a higher energy level, are more surefooted, and are less stubborn than my Boers. But I agree their hoof walls do seem very thin (the Boers have such thick hoof walls, I have to wait till it rains to cut their feet) and their legs don't seem substantial enough (though they are very long). I am really excited to cross the two and hopefully will get some great Packgoats! Thankyou so much for your advice it really helped me make a decision!
