PROBLEM GOATS
*Please feel free to print out these tips.
Most problem goat behaviors are
learned. It is a lot easier to prevent a bad habit then to break the
habit. If you have a problem with a goat, think about how it got it. Is
it bored and trying to spar with other goats through the fence? Is the
bedding area muddy or wet forcing the goat to jump into feeders to lay
down? Think the same way a goat would think so you can understand why a
goat does or does not do things. Observe your goat as it goes about its
daily routine and try to use its natural behaviors to help teach it. If
possible prevent new goats from learning the same bad things. Be sure to
start teaching good habits when the goats are young. Think ahead about
what things you want your full grown goat to do and what things you
would not want your full grown goat to do. If you don't want a 200 lb.
wether jumping up on you then don't let it jump up on you as a kid. With
a little forethought on your part you can have a hard working well
mannered goat that will be the envy of all. Good Luck!
