thank fellas for the input I’m trying to find out what style harness I want to look for. I want something simple plain and light, but good brakes. looks don’t concern me at all I want function. I’m thinking farm or logging harness with Yankee breeching hopefully nylon

I pasture my hogs with my goats with no problems but do not allow my goats to kid in the pasture ain’t much gonna mess with a hog once it gets 200# or so more fight per pound than anything I’ve seen LOL 4-5 together could get serious they have a pecking order but stick together I don’t know that they would protect a goat they may guard their pasture though I have 2 pyrenees and donkey in my pasture with very tough coyote pressure and no losses so far just couple chickens to the hawks but the dogs have figured that one out boers would work great pigs the Russians are good but sometimes hard to keep up tamworths are a good choice most pigs will root but some more than others the more you feed the pigs the less they’ll root I used them on my pasture cut their feed back and throw shelled corn on the ground took me a year to figure it out over stock the property for fast work but have somewhere for them to go when done(sell/freezer) or ready to buy hay and they’ll start getting out to find green stuff to eat I would recommend a donkey as guard ours eats more of a variety of weeds than ours goats but they are dairy and can be picky kiko goats would be a good choice also very hardy a cross is always less up keep for brush a kiko cross would be my choice a lot if boers can be hard to keep wormed but there are good ones as well

Thanks for the input I think for the most part I understand but am more reluctant to breed to a jack now LOL. I may have found a haflinger stud in the area and may go that route

Thanks for the help I plan to make a single tree I’ll pulling firewood we heat with wood and its a good reason to use the horse my wife has a haflinger mare I plan to use them as a team but when we hought her she was under weight so I’ll wait till she is ready

I have a 4 shank cultivating plow would that be to much for my gelding?

Thanks
