why did she do that?

[dwbonfire]

i have only had my doe for a week, and i have never had goats before. i have no idea what normal behavior is with goats. i had her out today we were walking around the yard and she stopped to pee, then turned around and licked the grass that she peed on! then she flipped up her lip (which i have seen the horses and sheep do when they are smelling something) but i have no idea why she would do that, gross! is there a reason for it or do i just have a yucky goat? lol

Sounds like the flemin lip curl .. but thats for bucks trying to smell does in heat ... I have no idea why she licked her pee though !

She was checking her scent. They all do it. Don't worry, it's normal.

I agree, totally normal. They love to gross us humans out sometimes.

Good thing you have does. You don't want to know what bucks do. Welcome to the world of goats. They are a trip. I so love mine. They make me smile and laugh everyday.
