My neighbors' Nubians are not noisy. They do have loud voices. When they first got the goats, one of them was non-stop LOUD. Now, they are pretty quiet.

My Mini Nub is my loudest goat. She only hollers when she sees me, or if her kids get out of her sight though. My Nubian doe is very quiet, but she is hyper in her actions. The Fainters are all extremely quiet. Almost never hear them at all except to talk to their kids.

I live less then a block away from a daycare and the neighbors almost called the cops thinking it was the daycare not taking care of the children.
They can not see my pasture so had no clue the screaming was the goats.
Oh, and they also have an amazing "ugly cry" LOLOL

OMG, it's hideous when Buckwheat screams. I'm pretty sure he's going to call down a grizzly bear, a wolf pack, or a mountain lion when he starts. I've taken to bringing the shotgun with me to the barn at night just in case. No, not exaggerating.

Annie, my NDxAlpine(?) is a noisy girl. You can hear her up on the state land quite a ways away, but she's nothing compared to Buckwheat. Good lord, I just don't need a predator coming in. :barnie

Jelly Bean, my Nigerian Dwarf doe reminds me of the Afflack duck. Shrill, persistant and with and increasing intensity determined to garner YOUR ATTENTION!

When Jelly Bean can't find her kids it's "Kids, Kids, KIDS!"

Her last kid, Perl was the same way.

This year she has triplets and one of them, Socks is just like her. "Mom, Mom, MOM!" as she frantically runs WILDLY leaping and cavorting in the air looking for MOMMY! Then the minute she sees her mom, it is one LONG WAIL till she gets to the "UDDER" and nurses frantically, belting her mom clear off the ground as Jelly Bean patiently and lovingly murmurs soft little mommy nothings to her kids...

I love my talkative nubians! They yell whenever they see me and I love to be greeted! I also like to yell back to say hello ;)

Yeah, I have to agree that I love the Nubi talking. We never, ever had them screaming at us regardless of whether they were hungry or needed milking or even when they had the babies. Now I have Sables who MUST be related to Nubis somehow and I'll research that someday and they too are very quiet and ladylike and the easiest milkers I've ever, ever had. They DO talk and the little buckling is the most talkative but he's so cute who would want to make him be quiet?

Nope, the Sable is descended from the Saanen and now recognized by the AGDA. They ARE draft goats though so they produce prodigious amounts of milk. They're supposedly very rare in the US.

My mini Nubian is also my loudest goat. She is out there screaming her head off "AHHHHHH". Like someone is trying to kill her. It is hilarious! :lol: unless I'm trying to sleep and she's underneath my bedroom window. :rolleyes:
