Going head to head with a Horned goat pic added 5/9

see thats the thing people dont realize how much fun it is till they actually try it, and its not like im going to send my 2 year old into the pasture and say "Jazmine go play with the goat" not everyone is dumb around here, you act like were are going to sick this goat on somebody if it comes onto our property as that would be cool but no it is nothing like that

how do you know that one day, when your back is turned, Jazmine isnt going to slip into the pasture, because she has seen how much fun dad has playing with the goat, and wants to try?

chickerdoodle, horns has nothing to do with it. A goat headbutts with his forehead, not his horns. A dehorned goat can hit just as hard as a horned goat.

Exactly...horned or dehorned, you shouldn't be turning your back on it whether you trust it or not. If YOU have your backed turned to a goat (or any animal for that matter) you have only yourself to blame for the injuries you may receive. However, I *have* seen horned goats do much more damage than a dehorned goat, just for the simple fact that the horns can act like hooks. Its easier for an arm, leg, shirt, or pants to get caught up in the horns, especially when playing.

I just don't understand what the big deal is.

I have a horse that I trust more than most other animals and who is trained very well. Just about any one could ride him and he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. That doesn't mean I still haven't been injured by him. Most animals have the potential to injure whether they are trained or not. What really makes the difference is the mindfulness of the people around the animals.

I just don't see the point of arguing with the OP. No animals were injured and no humans harmed.​

Man just let these negative comments roll off you back bud. These people are just old and stuffed up in their houses and jealous. All that matters is that you know you weren't hurting the goat and whatever. My cousin and I used to play with one of our grandads bull calfs like this. People gotta relax and put more trust in their animals.

Have you EVER paid attention to the number of people who get killed by dairy bulls every year? The reason it happens is because the bulls lose their respect for humans, and see humans as just another cow. Why? Because people push on their heads and wrestle with them!

I dont either, because obviously its going in one ear and out the other​

That's the kind of behavior that gets people asked to leave and not come back to our farm.

Yeah katy!.. It iS a big deal!...I have a large Alpine. And he dosent try to ram me..he NEVER gets on his hind legs to charge me....NEVER. You know why? because i NEVER played rough with him..i never LET him do that to me! hes a big goat..and he would be dangerous if he "played" like that. Now he does play that way with my other goat..and thats okay..thats normal...but if he did that to me??..i'd know he had lost his respect for me...and big problems are in the future! Stop arguing with him people...he simply does not get it...so no sense in going round and round with the kid.
