Are they cute goats or big piss-covered male goats?

Take pictures if they're cool non-piss-covered goats.

You can be giving them whatever rude gesture you prefer. Maybe base it on the origin of the goat breed.

They are very nice looking toggenburgs. Its only 1 mummy and 3 kids atm. Perfect goats to tale picture of

Did you ever give them oats?

By this I mean regular dried rolled oats, like Quaker Oats.

My ex gf had goats and would give them oats occasionally as a treat.

They would go completely insane for it. If the goats were not tied up or restrained, she would actually be unable to put the dish down for them; their heads were attracted to the bowl of oats like a strong electromagnet. And this was with only two female goats.

Goats are normally like that. They can climb trees to eat poo poo it kind of defies physics.

Groups of goat kids are like little human kids. They work out games together and keep playing it till theyre tuckered out.

When they are tiny one might climb in a feed trough and they go round in order taking turns at jumping in.

Later they find bigger stuff like a fork in a tree and tàke turns leaping up to it with out falling.

I watched a goat climb on to the top of a horse and ride it around as a dog in the same pen balanced a yoga ball on it's nose as they all did laps around the pen at the same time. I had to put my tools down and just enjoy what was going on in the next yard over. Weird thing was no humans in sight to tell them to do this. :boom:

I suspect you saw a truly exceptional goat.

pretty low rent compared to what "the pros" use, but on the plus side it's got no glass for a goat to smash with hoof/horn and get injured on

They also really like the sound that the little hoofs make on metal siding. We discovered this when my mom had a little goat door cut in her barn and the metal siding was sitting on the ground.


And that's what those pyrs likely believe.

I think they do like the metal noise theyre always clanging on stuff

Do goats make sounds when you pet them?
Goats like most livestock only have noises for 'hungry' or 'concerned'. Used to have a buck that headbutted me w his horns when i patted him i dont know if it was affectionate or not.
