Hello
Watched your You Tube videos
GREAT
I like the section were you got good views of the different types of pack saddles you use.
You also have some very impressive horned goats, the ones with the big flat airplane wing type horns. Can they fly in a strong head wind? What breed are they?
Like your dog, looks like a Shelty X ?????
The Expeditions I have made so far with Pete and Sam I have always after unloading let them munch on weeds around the Trail Head for a while "Fill Their Belly" then moved out.
Sure they stop grab a bite on the trail but then catch up, very seldom (So FAR)as I go out of site they come trotting up the trail to find me. About 500 M as you mentioned is max distance they get behind me. Another 1000 meters and they are in trail formation.
It should prove "Interesting" when we add the young brats to the trail string what they do.
For right now they are inclined (Kids) to break off from the older boy's to find their own patch of brush.
I hope after the family jewels drop off (they were banded about a week ago) they will be more social.
Not that they are not "social' now but they have been showing their "Independence."
MY rules here are if you want to play "Catch me if You can Games" your dinner. I shoot very well. Tag your it situation.
The second trip things were greening up good I worried about the boy's being more interested in eating brush more than staying on the trail. They surprised me. Yes they did do some munching but kept up, but after a while stayed close, just grabbing a leaf or two then catching up. Can not ask for better trail manners.
Have explained to the goat boy's your pack goats, or dinner if you mess up.
Happy Trails
Thanks for the Video's
