I 1st connected with packgoats.com almost 5 years ago. Marc helped us prepare for our future team of pack goats long before we brought our 1st ones home. He guided us on fencing, shelter, feeding, parasites and training. All the what not and what to do's. Since, he has helped by supplying us with the best pack goat gear available along with priceless guidance on care and training challenges. Packgoats.com has been with us from bottle babies to reliable backcountry companions.

My experience with Marc has been incredible. The knowledge Marc and his team have is unmatched. There are so many things to know about successfully raising quality pack goats and Marc has been supportive and resourceful through the entire process. He has supported me through challenging times with the goats and has taken a personal approach to making sure I have every tool I need to be ready and prepared. I can't recommend this operation and Marc enough. There is no one better than Marc to get pack goats from hands down.
