So Rex,
I know we breifly discussed this before, but since Owyhee (?SP) is defunct, we have no manufacturer of berry bags. I did eventually find a pair to use, and also ended up buying a saddle (with butt strap) so that it could be worn by my goat. My question/suggestion would be....Could you manufacture a berry bag harness? If not on a large scale, could you make them special order?
In my case, my goats go to schools and nursing homes. It kind of takes away from the petting experience having a saddle on the goats back. I don't want them pooping in the facilities, but I am not always there to teach about PACKgoats, I am there to just let the goats be pet and talk about goats in general. I have been asked to bring the goats to a highschool as PACKGOATS. And in that case, the saddle (and NAPgA flyer) was sufficient. But not always the case.
My thought is, if you can create a harness system (similar to what horse bun bags have) that will allow the goat to wear a berry bag without a entire saddle set up, that would be great. It would allow for me to give more exposure of goats to the general public. There is no better way to promote goats than to introduce them to kids and use them as theraputic critters. I can't do that if they poop everywhere and its no fun with a goat you cant pet due to the saddle.
So with that said....Can you help?
If I wasn't very clear, feel free to email me.
