I have disliked goats my entire life. (several run ins as a child, teen, adult) Now I feel so ashamed as I never understood goats. You taught me how to flip an aggressive goat, you have showed how to win their trust and show them love. Bless you. I will never look at a goat the same way again.lol
I’m filled with joy that you treat your pack boys like they are sentient, lovable, and finally getting the recognition they deserve. My best pack boy will be 19 on his next birthday and still going strong. He’s my best friend.
A goat ate my shoelace once. He was so friendly but he started eating my shoe and was like hey guy stop that. But they’re so innocent and happy you cant really yell at them. I stepped back and he was looking at me. Like he wanted that shoe.
I find it kind of crazy how much personality they show just by their actions. Never seen these guys before but I bet you could get a rough idea of them even with the audio muted
I used to work on a goat dairy, and I laughed as soon as you described one as a "face-sniffer" - I know exactly the personality you're talking about! Those goats absolutely can't mind their own business because everything you're doing IS their business.
I know zip about goats and never cared to reflect on goats in general but after watching your videos I love goats and they seem like interesting animals to deal with. Great channel and very informative.
I appreciate this so much! The importance of treating each goat as an individual is GOLD - thank you for sharing your goats...and all the things that aid in happy goating!
Thanks. I don't do goat packing but your posts are really helpfull as I have 14 adult goats and currently 16 youngsters that I feed open range so I spend at least 8 hours a day with them. Cheers from Zlarin, small island in Croatia.
Mark, this is hands down my favorite video of yours! Of the dozens and dozens I love the connection and insight you have with each individual and how you recognize all the aspects of each one’s strengths. Such a touching AND informative video!
I just found your channel...I am absolutely amazed at your combination of love and control.....Not sure I can ever be as patient as you are, but would like to think I could. So impressed....!!!!
Just clicked on this video and I don't know goat breed from Adam, as a city boy, goats are goats to me, I just love animals and find goats so fascinating, Thanks for sharing and for explaining.
I am learning. I have definitely noticed personality coming out of my 9 month olds now. I like how you let them be themselves and just work with the different personalities
You would really enjoy the Pack Goat one oh one course as well as the how to raise a baby goat course on packgoat.com. Very well ordered and all the intricate information you need to be successful and you’ll save yourself tons of money in mistakes I promise
So funny that goat right up in your face while your working. I have Nigerian dwarf goats and I was fixing my brakes on the truck and both of my goats were right there in my face. You get frustrated with them but they are just showing affection.
Wow, you are very kind but I feel like I'm still just figuring them all out myself as well. I have learned a ton from my mentors and just passing that along.
I know you put these out a while ago, but man....🤔 you're making me want to buy some goats 👍 First goat I get, I'm naming Steve. Regardless of the gender👍
Because of your info when we got our two female goats in 2010 one was a full Nigerian dwarf & the other was like your black long horns. Obviously the same as your female whom wouldn’t start growing. An Alpine. She passed at 7&1/2 years do to a tied up rumen. Couldn’t get her to eat plastic wherever she could find it. But she had a good like & loved attention. Our Nigerian is 12 now & has escaped death so many times and my husband and I thank the Lord Yeshua we still have her.
these goat videos are so interesting. i don't really plan on having goats any time soon but i've always loved them since a kid because of my grandpa's farm. so, it is really cool to watch these videos
Your videos and website info are such great, valuable resources to have for those of us (like me) who are just starting out. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
I just found out that I love goats. I rescued a day old baby and I LOVE 💕 Her so much. She thinks I’m her mommy. She loves to cuddle and sleeps on my bed. 😂
That comment you made at the end about goats needing to have their teeth ground flat was something I hadn't heard of before....but it makes sense because I know that horses have that problem when they get older. Two of my goats are coming up on 9 years old and, although they seem fine now, I'll definitely have the vet check their teeth at their next annual appointment.
Yes, it's almost for sure an issue they are having already...I think you might be surprized at the difference it makes. My goats that have needed it are like a whole new goat once we do it.
I never considered goats could be so different from each other. When I was a kid my dad got a pygmy goat. That little fellow would follow me around like a dog and he loved to play. He'd come up and push against my knee with his head, slowly, and start pushing...and I'd push back. He really loved it.
You might buy some Arnica and plant it. Arnica was discovered for bruising and inflammation as humans observed that goats eat the Arnica plant if they have fallen.
Alpines were mostly centered as a breed in a 1000-head dairy called Laurelwood Acres in the Ripon CA area, if memory serves. They were crowded with not enough liner feet of access to feed. This dairy had all the top milk and show records for a long time, and they sold bucks all over when the 'back to the land' thing started up in the 70s. So the breed was inadvertently selected against having nice social skills, you might say. I had 18 years in Alpines and then another 10 in Oberhasli. What a difference. The Swiss-eared (upright) breeds all came from valleys in and around Switzerland, where deep snow made pure breeds form in single valleys up high. The chalet housing had one side for people and one side for livestock, so interaction with people influenced selection greatly (Papa keeps the ones his kids like). Same for the tent in the desert. This is how wild ibex were developed into modern dairy breeds
Thank u for the video! I hope to hace one of these types of goats some day!! Its nice to admire & learn more about them even if I dont though. Very interesting & great video!!
Hi there, did you solve the feeder problem for the young goats ? My suggestion is to add some 2x2 timber to the outside of each feeding slot in the form of a V. Leave a gap at the bottom of maybe 2" It will act as a barrier so they won't jump in, it will still allow them to get their heads/horns thru to eat. It will reduce the ability to get their shoulders past the impediment.
Have you tried a feeder where the opening is shaped like a V? I've had cows for 30 years and now I have goats and sheep as well. I really get frustrated with the goats getting their feet into the feeder and have to constantly upgrage.....especially for growing goats.. ..But I want to try the V shape feeder which works for cows to accommodate the horns... There is also the tombstone design they use for Longhorn cows
Just to make it clear. I never had any interest in goats and knew little to nothing about them. Who knew you could flip them? Anyways, I'm subscribing after four videos.
Caleb Payment Yes. We will be making an entire series shortly on health and wellness and that is on the list but the short answer is I give the CD and T once a year from one year on. And I also copper bolus or Multimin Shot about twice a year as needed (I look for rough coat or fish tail)
Ever since I first caught your videos a year or so ago, I've been hooked on the idea of packgoats. I love hiking and camping. After researching the pack goat and watching every video I can find, I've noticed that the Sharp line is most appealing to me. I don't see many pack goats available for sale. I just purchased land and figure spring will be a great time to get a couple goats (2-3) to start working with. Who out there is still producing pack goats for purchase?
Hey thank you for reaching out! We are currently working on a packgoat registry from the Sharp line. If you send me your email I can help you find something.
My goat loves me no matter what it’s super cute. I think it’s because I got her when she was a day old and she was on deaths door and I brought her back
Never really paid attention to goats...but those horns are selling me. Bet you could train them to pull a cart. Have you ever tried that? A pair that big could be a useful farm team for hauling stuff
I'm not sure why these videos are being recommended but I want a goat now
Yo neither do I but I feel like I'm learning so much
I have a goat and his knowledge is very helpful
Same 😂😂😂😂
I subscribed. It’s fun learning about them.
Goats are my favourite farm animal. They are great company and a ton of fun when they are raised correctly.
I have disliked goats my entire life.
(several run ins as a child, teen, adult)
Now I feel so ashamed as I never understood goats.
You taught me how to flip an aggressive goat, you have showed how to win their trust and show them love.
Bless you. I will never look at a goat the same way again.lol
I’m filled with joy that you treat your pack boys like they are sentient, lovable, and finally getting the recognition they deserve. My best pack boy will be 19 on his next birthday and still going strong. He’s my best friend.
Chiropractor for your goat?
You sir are full of love.

I didn't know goats could get that big, you got some monster goats over there

I've watched two of your videos and I had no idea how smart and aware goats were. Almost like a dog/cattle mix... Crazy
The 19 dislike is people that don't like goat's great video
I know zip about goats and never cared to reflect on goats in general but after watching your videos I love goats and they seem like interesting animals to deal with. Great channel and very informative.
Pure magic! Living your best life..
Six weeks seems to be the golden timeframe for so much - even after surgery or childbirth in humans, six weeks is the target for strength to return.
Omg 2nd goat wants some loving. I've always loved goats. they are so funny and unique.
Seems your Goats really love you :-)
Him: This is gus, he's weird!
Gus: What a weird man! Comes every now and then to pat me!
This was awesome to watch, your dedication and love to your animal friends is wonderful!
YOU ARE THE GOAT OF Pack Goats
I appreciate this so much! The importance of treating each goat as an individual is GOLD - thank you for sharing your goats...and all the things that aid in happy goating!

Luka Kalinic fun to hear that. Cheers!
1:23 I wonder how many times he had to flip that goat.
its good to know that different goats do have different personalities and sensitivities. Thanks for explaining that! Good sweet Thorn!
It is very cool to see the goats at work! Amazing animals.

Thanks Sean! The way we see it, what's not to like about goats!?
I am learning. I have definitely noticed personality coming out of my 9 month olds now. I like how you let them be themselves and just work with the different personalities
We are about to get our first six goats, your videos are so helpful, they have taken me from terrified to inquisitive. Thank you so much.

Just got a couple of Nigerian Dwarfs for a first but I love your videos and have learned so much about behavior . Thank you!
Diego Forest Great to heat!! Glad they help.
Awwww! That goat actually love you and want you to pad him too! Well behave. Can't wait to move to the countryside to have some goats.
I have those exact camo shorts!!!
I found these videos and I gotta say goats are pretty animals. Lovely to see such respect and thoughtful teaching on their rearing.
This is so COOL!!! I found your channel by accident, and it’s just fascinating. Your knowledge about goats is really impressive.
Gus is my spirit animal.
Very interesting video! Love these guys. I can imagine bigger goats having maybe a moment of power tripping people.
So funny that goat right up in your face while your working. I have Nigerian dwarf goats and I was fixing my brakes on the truck and both of my goats were right there in my face. You get frustrated with them but they are just showing affection.

I love how the pest of the group is literally "LOVE ME DAD IM ON CAMERA, ARE YOU PROUD OF ME YET" lol
This is so helpful. I have a newly rescued goat and she is sweet but so scared and weird. Very hard to read what she wants.

What a big goat. How many kg of it, If it grow up ? Sir
Is It the biggest breed?
What does flipping mean? My goat is super aggressive & I started to not communicate with his horns & he has calmed down, thank you for your advice
