Does your goat call you??

[Teeah3612]

I actually trained mine to answer when I call. When Peanut was a baby I would let him run around the yard while I was outside and when he would get out of my sight I would holler "Peanut" and he would stick his head out from around the side of the house and say "Maaa." I say OK and he would go back to munching grass. He is a year old now and I let him and the pygmy we got as a friend for him out to run in the yard daily. They both come running when I holler "Peanut." They also are very vocal at feeding time.

My Nigerian Dwarf/Pygmys are extremely loud and are the "someone is driving up in the driveway" alarm. I always know if someone has come home by their calls. Also they have recently become very spoiled and call every time I come out the door because they want to be let out to free range, you know a half acre pen isn't big enough I can't help but spoil them, they are my sweet little babies, stinky buck and all and I love watching them do things that make them happy.

My goats can call me anytime and anywhere. They were all given cell phones on their second birthday. We're on the family plan so it's very reasonable.

YUP! Especially my pygmy mix who I bottle fed. I let them out to roam 3x a day and they know when to start calling to remind me of this.

That is too funny!!

My little Pygmy/ND cross calls me all the time...but not on the cell phone and my other Pygmy barely makes a sound.
But they do both stand at the gate of their pen, staring at me, whenever I'm out in the yard. Of course it makes me go visit them, because they're just too darn cute.

I have sheep and my lamb, Olive, that was kept seperate would call me all the time!

Lol Many times I have gone out to the pasture and yelled "SOCRATEEEEEEESSSSS".

He always answers and EVERYTIME someone new is with me they get a perplexed expression. You see when Socrates answers, it sounds exactly like a man yelling "WHAT?!!!"

It freaks people out big time. Esp when he comes running to the fence, stops and says "what?" again.

Miracle now comes to the door to call me like I couldn't hear her in the pen

Mine all know my car. They know when I'm home and they all SCREAM for me. I was on the phone one evening with my mom when I pulled in the yard. I got out of the car and they were all screaming. My mom's response? "Good lord! Are you killing something over there?!" Its only for me. If they hear me, see me, or see my car they go nuts! It makes me feel special though.
