Ok how the heck do you give goats a bath. My goats hate water with a passion. Is there a secret to getting them to let you?

I tie mine and ignore the screaming. :p Actually, most of ours do fine when they don't have a choice about it, but one of my does shrieks the whole time like I'm killing her. And she's one of our friendliest does!

I say wash them (and yourself) with some hand crafted GAOTS MILK SOAP :)

Coffe soap removes odors wonderfully! I even use it on my wooden cutting boards. I use it on my hands after I trim hooves..P
P.U.

ps...coffee and lemongrass bars are back in stock! 4 new "flavors" coming soon.

I'm sure your goaty will love the citronella soap I made yesterday...
Gorgeous soaps... and the names are making me hungry. Gee, thanks!!!! :lol:

Our goats smell fine. :eek:) Most livestock tick/flea/fly powders will do the trick of masking smells. You get the added benefit of keeping the pests away from them as well... Good luck with giving your goat a bath. :-o

Is there a shampoo that can be used or a spray that can be applied to a goat to get rid of their smell? I thought only bucks had the goat smell, but my doe has the stench too. This is my first goat, so I am unexperienced here.
I'll gladly send you a sample bar of the campers soap if you'll "goat test" it for me :)

It has citronella, geranium, juniper berry and tea tree essential oils and ground juniper berries. It'll be ready in 4 weeks.....


or a coffee scrub bar...coffee removes odors.

My goats don't stink (to me anyway) but I plan to use this soap on my horses. and myself...

All of my soap is made with goats milk and no animal fats.

ETA..not that I stink....but it should repel ticks as well as skeeters.

Are you wanting to get the smell off the goat, or the goat smell off of yourself?

Dr. Bronners works great for getting the smell off my hands. I tend to change my clothes after going out there since it never fails that at least one of them paws at me or jumps on me with muddy hooves. I have to be quick if I want to escape clean. :lol:
I want to get the goat smell off of her. I don't have a problem getting off of me. I bathed her and thought the smell would be gone, but I could still smell it, so I wondered if there was a special soap made for goats that would get that smell off.

Newbie question coming....if my currently non stinky goats won't let a drop of rain fall on their sensitive heads, what sort of luck will I have with bathing the lil' darlings?:ep


*I've had 3 spine surgeries and need another....
