Do Goats Like Corn?
Annual spring corn fest after my local ski area closes for the season...
(Sorry, I don't have one of those fancy Gopro thingies...)

Goats are the shit! When I was a young lad I had three goats and would go out mountain biking with goats in tow.

Be careful skiing with goats and don't turn your back on them.

Ha, thanks...I like to say, "it's hard to be in bad mood around goats!"
Not to hijack my own thread, but in the summer we use them for backpacking. They will follow you anywhere, kind of like a dog in that way. Here they are crossing a creek a couple of years ago...

So, that is where Volkl got the original idea for gotamas.

Both videos are absolutely incredible, but I particularly enjoyed the second one. Well done.
Short stories about snow and rock, and pictures, too

I gotta ask - how do you transport your goats to the trailhead?

I've worked with pack horses, mules, burros and llamas - yours are the first pack goats I've ever come across.
How much weight can they carry on a multi day trek? And I assume they just forage for themselves along the way?

Yeah, they see the trail as just one big smorgasbord for them.
They can carry about 1/4 of their body weight, but it depends on how far, how steep, how hot it is, & if we are on a trail vs thrashing off-trail. Believe it or not, the biggest guy weighs about 240# & the next-biggest about 215#. We try not to load them down too much because we want them to have a good time too!
In addition to backpacking, people do use them for hunting, but this is the only "hunting" we have used them for:

The black and white goat has a pretentious beard.
