I sure hope that some of the photos people took of the pack goats show up on future advertisements and publicity for the fair. Its good to hear a lot of goats participated.
To be honest I'm not sure how my goats would do. I haven't really worked with them to do that kind of performance thing, though they do a lot of messing with stuff in their daily lives and on hikes. For instance, they're quite familiar with blue tarp obstacles. One exception is Vincent VanGoat. I can't believe it but he has zero, nada, nyet interest in heights. He's 6 months old and has yet to jump up on the goat house where the other goats enjoy relaxing. The other goats all got very excited when they were first able to get up on the roof by themselves as babies. Vincent, even if you pick him up and plop him up there, just looks around like "Meh" and jumps down. Very strange-- Perhaps he lived in a 2D world when he was young and his brain never programmed itself for 3D terrain. He does fine on the trail though.
