Pack Goats

[oink]

This is part of a message I received on backpaker forum (http://www.backpacker.com/) in reference to a thread I responded to (http://www.backpacker.com/cgi-bin/forums...9991134318).

And then there are pack goats. More manageable than larger livestock, but they can carry fifty pounds apiece. Some rentals out there if you aren't willing to invest and care for them.

Does this mean anything to any of you goat and sheep herders? I wonder how that would work out and how much extra pack room they would have after packing their own food and water? This is something I could possibly be interested in or at least learning more about. Not the raising to rent but for my own use or I would rent from someone.
