I've got 3 Boer Goats. This will be our first attempt at a fair this summer (mid-late August).
Anyhow, two were born in 2007 and one in 2008. I think that they have meetings at night to decide how poorly they can walk with a human.
Can you guys help me here? The last year goats are so strong, that I feel it will be a disaster for my kids to try and take them to a fair. The new born (May 2008) may be ok.
The goats seem to put the brakes on whenever they feel and have a mind of their own. We tried training the older ones last summer, and had little success. Last years are a doe and a wether. The wether sometimes walks ok, but the doe is part mule. She would rather lay down and twist her head off than be led by a collar/leash.
I have tried pull the collar up near the ears, and doesn't affect the big goats.
How about tieing them to a tree (safely) or a wall. Does that work?
Looking for any advice! Thanks in advance
We have a month more to prepare, do I have a chance????
