For the most part, full blood nubians and or boers do not make good pack goats. There are people like Nanno who has found good success with a nubian cross. The normal laid back behavior that makes a nubian a popular dairy goat pick doesnt translate over very well into the pack world. They dont tend to have the stamina of the short eared breeds, are often stubborn and as most know, are very noisy. With that being said, it still wouldnt hurt to offer them as pack goats. You may actually get less then you would for meat prices as its going to be very risky for someone to spend money on them with the likely hood of them not working as packers.
