Goats pack hiker’s supplies through the wind-blown sand flows and across the high plains on the edge of Wyoming’s Red Desert. An outdoor enthusiast started a business with his goats that follow along without being leashed. They wear bells in case they wander away and can be easily found in the open country but they are sure-footed and willing companions that can carry 30-65 pounds. They jump and run along beside hikers having the natural instinct to play follow the leader. The high-desert ecosystem is varied with buttes, sagebrush steppe, mountains and dunes.
