What Our Customers Are Saying
Ron Griener (verified owner)
Packgoats.com is the foremost destination for all things goat.
I have attended their on-site pack goat training as well as purchased baby goats and goat gear from them. They produce the most athletic and energetic pack goats that I have seen. Their gear is top notch with quality that lasts. They continuously strive to make gear with the comfort of the goat in mind. Their focus is helping goats and goat owners, not mass sales. One of a kind in this day and age. Their goat milk is to die for and the love and care that Marc and Tricia show for their land and animals is unmatched. Marc Warnke is THE Goat Guy. The information that he generously shares is must have for every goat owner.
