Taking a 4 year old on such a trip seems, well, dumb.

Thank you for the ping, great story. I read about a farmer that rented his flock out to clear land. He used a snow drift fence to keep them contained and when one area was cleared he's move to the next area..Snow drift fence was fairly easy to set up and take down....I had one goat raised on a bottle that I could let out of the pasture and he'd follow me all around the farm...if I turned a corner and got out of sight, he'd bleet until he found me again..loved to go over to the pond where there were several weeping willows...when he was done eating the willow it looked like it had been clipped all around, just as far up as he could reach....
One day we were walking in front of the house and a car going by had to stop to see what kind of animal was following me..Angora's don't look like regular goats since you shear them their hair is long and white curls...TY again for the ping..

My first thought was that this is reading like a Hunter Thompson story. All that’s missing is a galaxy of various drugs, raw ether and the great red shark.

(Pack goats are as beloved as household pets to their handlers, and if there were any other goat renters out there, I couldnt find them.) There are some in Escalante, but it's probably a LOT hotter down in that part of the state. Not near as high altitude.

It would end up with you carrying those spoiled babies...LOL
To: basil
basil, you have to have at least 2 prefered 4 like elsie. They are a flock animal and don’t do well by themselves..I started out with 18 and in 5 years had about 80 the last kidding season...we had 20 with 2 sets of twins, but angora’s are a lot different to care for than most goats...they get sheared twice a year and you have to know a shearer. There are many breeds and they make great pets, just remember don’t get one....GG
To: goat granny
I was kidding! I live in the city on a small lot-—lol!
They are adorable, though.
