Hello all
Espicially Taffy
I have been on water ways were there were Tow Boats and Barge Trafic.
Yes, it is amassing what they push around.
Ok History: Now for the history lesson.
==============
Here in the EAST Many of the Channels used mules or draft horses to tow the channel  boats from a tow path along the side of the channel during the day, tie up at night let the critters graze on shore,if in a "risky" area bring them on board for protection. Crew would also camp on shore.
===================
Most all had a nanny goat and a couple wethers on board for milk and meat.
The Nanny was considered almost as valuable as the tow mules/horses. For milk Products.
In many cases the goats were put out on the tow path during the day to feed as the tow boat went along.
Happy Trails
