I have this same problem, except I have a one year old South African Boer!

take a spray bottle of water in there and spray her when she does it because goats hate water
good luck:)

Hmmm, I am having problems feeding grain to my pen of does and kids right now. There is a long grain box inside their 3 sided shed. I have to walk through the pen to get to the grain box. They see me coming with the bucket and they are crashing open the gate, smashed me in the face with it one day. If I manage to get through the gate, they are standing up ramming their heads into the bucket. I am dreading grain time! I told my SIL that I wanted the grain box built on the back side of the shed, with an opening so I could just pour the grain in, he thought I was being way too fussy. I am the one here feeding the goats, not him! Should I carry a squirt gun maybe?
