[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 774655, member: 2011"] The largest breed is the Saanan. The bucks that mine are by look to be at least 300 pounds. I bought two 90 pounders. Kept the larger one. By the first of summer he should reach 150 and be able to pack very lightly. There is a good chance of bone deformation if packed under 3 years. The Saanan is said to have the best all around temperament of all of them. I really like my 165 pound Alpine doe. She's kind of like a horse when it's time to catch her. And she knows when it's time to catch her. She is 3 1/2 yrs, comes from a dairy show goat farm and is a well broke goat.:rolleyes: A goat is said to pack one third their weight all day. So I went with Saanan first. It is said that Nubians are lazy. Thus I shun them. However, my 200 pounder of a questionable Nubian cross is a keeper. I think he' off in the head a touch but he fits in pretty good. He's uglier than sin and is of unknown age with some kind of a lump on :his gut which doesn't seem to bother him. And he was free.:D 3 goats will pack all my stuff except for the long range rifle, optics ect. Plus a 4'x4' size trailer is about perfect for 3 goats. I will most probably add another goat to the string so I won't have to pack any thing except snacks and drink. [/QUOTE]
