ITT: We discuss experiences with pack goats, pros and cons as well as potential uses
Never seen goats, but seen lots of llamas

Tell me about it

See them at least once a year in the Sierra on the trails
I think they are pretty foul tempered
Sometimes the people look unhappy they decided to use them
I think they are supposed to be sure footed though
Whenever I see this picture, I'd like to imagine the goats packed their own little backpacks and set out for adventure

I think that's a safe bet. Goats don't like carrying shit around especially not for strangers.
You pretty much have to raise your own packgoats the moment they are off their mothers teat so you become their alpha-goat and they are forced to play along lugging your stuff around.
I've got friends who have a pack goat. He's a retired goat now, but they took him on a bunch of trips. It seems like more trouble than it's worth to be honest, because you have to have a trailer to transport the goats, and you really need more than one to make it worthwhile because they can't carry a ton.
I have some other friends who go out camping in the desert riding mules, and that seems like more fun to me than dragging a goat or a llama around.

It's weird that you didn't want to before.
I had a chance to work with pack llamas through my EnEd Minor, they were pretty chill. The handler claimed that they don't mind lugging packs and being led by humans. She may have been bullshitting but they were pretty entertaining to work with.

So do Nigerian Pigmy goats add a kinky twist? You seem based.

Perhaps (and quite likely) this is a stupid question, but do goats need packed food or do they just eat whatever is along the way? I'm just thinking that if half of what they carry is their own food, like in a dog's hiking pack, it wouldn't really be worth it, but if if they just forage everything, they could be quite useful.

I'd imagine that having a goat forage along the way could be very destructive to the plant life along the trail, especially if you had a group. It would probably be frowned upon or outright banned on a trail that sees a lot of use, as most places have rules about preserving the plant life.
I've been waiting for this thread.
