Where the kids come from
Ripple Ranch and partnered breeders Marc has vetted. Every doe is disease tested annually. Every kid we suggest is packgoats.com approved and from proven packer genetics.
What Marc looks for in a packer
Size potential, bone, a long back and a calm head. A kid that comes to the fence beats a flashy one that runs. He'll tell you which ones he'd pick and why.

Questions people ask before they call
Buckling or doeling?
Most pack strings are wethers (castrated bucklings): bigger frame, no heat cycles, steady on the trail. Doelings make sense if you also want milk or plan to breed.
How many should I start with?
Two at minimum. Goats are herd animals and a single goat is an unhappy goat. Most new packers start with two or three.
What do I need ready before pickup?
Fencing, a dry shelter, a plan for bottle feeding if the kids are young, and the first-year basics. The How to Raise a Baby Goat course walks through all of it.
Can I visit before I decide?
Yes. Ripple Ranch in Idaho welcomes visits by arrangement. Ask Marc when you call.
