Chillin' with the herd
I have three does and one male goat named Romeo. The one in my avatar. He is very personable and sweet and friendly and loves to curl up with his mama. He was banded when he was young because I just didn’t have room to have two separate goat areas. Anyhow he has Become more bold. For instance the other day I was blocking the doorway to my garden. And he just wants to push on my side as hard as he can and that sucker is pretty strong. He just recently started being this Way when he wants something and I know goats are stubborn. My other goats when they don’t get what they want they stop and shake their head at me and I passed my chest out a little at them and they walk away. This little guy well not really little doesn’t actually run and head but he just presses his head to me and begins to push as hard as possible. Right now I grabbing him by the horn’s pushing backAnd tell him no in a very stern voice. I pop them in the butt once With my hand with my hand for it but he’s 120 pounds so I’m sure it barely affected him. I’m sure pushing back and saying no works to train a dog over time but I feel like with goats being well the way they are I feel like there needs to be a better method of teaching him who’s boss. Because if I’ve learned anything in life it’s that all your animals need to know who is in charge
