Introducing Titan

[Duck-Slayer]

Meet Titan, I made a drive and picked up my new breeding buck for the next several years. Super excited to see the huge babies he’s going to produce! He is out of a reserve national champion, hoping to bring some more height into my babies with him. He also came from a clean herd, which is very helpful in producing clean packers!

Nubian?

Nice! What does "clean" mean?

 

[Duck-Slayer]

Nubian?

No, Nubians don’t make good pack goats!

he is a pure bred Alpine from a show goat back in the 80’s. He is an AI baby.

Not gonna lie, I opened this thread 100% expecting to see a Chesapeake Bay retriever.

He will just mow the lawn and make more packers for me

Hey Duckslayer how many acres do you need to home enough goats for a small three to four pack goat to be used for the main purpose of hunting pack trips?

 

[brockel]

How tall you thinking he will finish?

Just a standard backyard. A buddy of mine had 5 pack goats in his backyard subdivision. 8 ft. Deep and the length of his backyard. Marc Warnke has 20+ on a 1/4 acre. Just need a good shelter and hay.

This one since he’ll stay as a buck will go close to 300#! Most of mine now are about 200#, 4 over that. Hoping to get my wether’s in the 230#-250# range. Hopefully he will be 48” at the withers/shoulder. I’m keeping 1 of the big Doe babies I got from Moosie my buck I castrated cuz he is going to be an awesome packer, super friendly and follows me really well!
