Just read thru the post about goats as pack animals I was set on getting lamas but may have to rethink. Any info anybody has would be great. And your experience while using them.

Every llama and goat have differant capacities / limits. I had llama's that would only haul 60lbs of gear in 12 miles and I had another that would take 75-80 in (uphill) 90 out. My buddie boned and bull elk and put it on 2 llamas and took it out ( good trail and only 3 miles) It seems that most pack animals will all haul a certain pecentage of their own weight if properly conditioned.
My buddy had the goats and they were pretty cool. It took him alot of goats to do what I did with 4 llamas.
I have a couple llama's that are only halter broke weed eaters that I will give to someone that will to train them up.
