You can keep a doe dry - do not allow it to come into milk by not breeding it. This does not hurt the doe. One reason for having doe pack goats may be for breeding. The breeding period is between August and the following April. If you take a doe who is in milk on the trail, you will need to protect her udder from the brush.
Goats are less expensive to purchase and to keep.
Goats need less space. Generally, goats can be handled by all ages of people. Goats can negotiate rougher and higher terrain. Goats are friendly and willing to work for you.
