keeping goats fit

[Sanhestar]

I also find myself concerned about keeping my goats fit because I hike a lot just with my dogs and it's hard to find the time to get out with the goats, too.  I wish I could walk them all at once but we do have to cross streets and I just don't think I can handle it all by myself!

you could start with taking only two goats at once. Make walking calmly on a leash a training exercise and you should find that the goats pick up on that very well.

Or work on a reliable call-back for the goats - they can learn that, too - before you come to the street crossing. Teach them to walk as a packstring (one goat tethered to the next in front, so you will only have one lead rope to keep track off).
