Poor lonely goat! Mean ol’ mommy won’t let her in!
She literally stood at the door, stared at me through the glass and screamed and screamed and screamed and screamed. She WOULD NOT stop. I had heard before that Nubians can be pretty noisy, but I never knew they could be this loud.😂

The back door begging was one of the main reasons my trial of goats didn't work out. They refused to stay in their pen & would come up on the back porch, stand up on their hind legs & bang on the sliding glass door with their front while screaming for treats. I was scared I was going to come home one day & find busted glass & injured goats in the living room.

awww sorry it didn't work out, goats are a real treat to have around. Before them, all I had was chickens and rabbits. what type of goats did you get?

I borrowed 2 adult females (does?) and one of their kids to clear out a wooded overgrown section of yard & pasture. They had the little elf ears... lamancha??
They were sweet, but kind of a nightmare at the same time. Every day it was either fighting to remove their horns from the woven fencing or searching for them when they crawled through the board fencing.
They did a GREAT job of clearing out the area I needed cleared... then they made it their J.O.B. to remove everything else in the fenced-in yard that wasn't a full grown oak or pine tree... hostas, roses, daylilies, ground covers, forsythias, lilacs, rose of sharron, etc
They also learned - somehow - that if they crawled out between the board fence (with electric lines) between the yard & the paddock, they could run around behind the barn and get inside the barn, then crawling between the boards of the stall walls, they could chase the elderly horse away from her feed and eat that before I could catch them.
:rolleyes:
