How do you get your goat to like you?

One reliable way to attract goats is to train them to come when you feed their grain ration. Use the same bucket and try to feed at the same time each day. Almost all goats love grain, so the minute they hear the tell-tale sound of the scoop in the grain bin, they'll come running.

Can you sedate a goat?

A good vet should be able to sucessfully sedate a goat. Cats are very sensitive also and are sedated all the time for neutering. I think the key here is that it be done by an experienced vet and only when absolutely necessary. This is not something for the goat farmer to administer the way we do other meds.

What do you wash a goat with?

Use warm water; it helps cut through the dirt and oil better. Use whitening or brightening shampoo on the goat's legs if they are stained. After massaging shampoo into the goat's hair, let it sit for 10-15 minutes. While shampoo sits, smooth down hair to help train it in the direction you want it to lay.

What kind of a noise does a goat make?

Do goats return home?

Good news-goats don't really run away. They run to something, like food or companionship. While it's true if they are “running away” they are out of the pen.
