A New Challenge: Cats in a Canoe?

[lowangle al]

There is a jack donkey on the Snake River that makes his rounds in a jet boat mating with mares up and down the river and getting his owner paid for stud fees.

I'm happy just to get out in a boat, that guy must be ecstatic.

Goats can provide fresh milk. There used to be a donkey packer up in the Warner Mountains on the CA/NV border. You could rent him and a string of donkeys to pack your gear. For a fee he would bring a nanny that was freshened to provide fresh milk on your trip.

Some big game outfitters use goats to pack meat in rough country. It is more common in BC than the US. A bighorn sheep or mountain goat can be quartered and packed out with with 4 goats, usually castrated males known as whethers.
