Goats By Breed - Pack Goat

By: "Gary Pfalzbot"

  • About the Author
  • Description
    A pack goat is a goat used as a beast of burden, for packing cargo. Generally, large wether goats are used for packing, though does may also be packed. While does are generally smaller and therefore able to carry somewhat less cargo, they may also provide fresh milk. Goats are domesticated herd animals. - Wikipedia®

    Pack Goats are becoming increasingly popular as evidenced by the picture below. While there is no one specific breed for a pack goat (at least as of yet), there is certainty that specific breeds (or cross breeds) of goats perform better at packing than do others.
