olyclimber Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 it is the primordial goat in all of us that wells to the surface, especially when you spend a lot of time in their habitat, and get their oils and urine worked into your skin Quote
knotzen Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Ah, so that's the answer, oh wise one. I thought they were either a bunch of farmers, or perverts. But here I am talking about goats, so, um, yes--the primordial goat deal. Quote
Squid Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 What *is* it with cc.comers and goats? They talk about goats almost more than they talk about climbing. Goats are fun because they all have different personalities and have different little habits that can be amusing or interesting. Goats are very affectionate and especially during the summer, when they are too hot to be active, they like to just hang around people and get a good scratch. Most goats' favorite scratchy spot is around their shoulder but some even liked to be scratched in between their toes. It is very rewarding to see a goat you have raised from a baby grow up and have kids and grandkids of her own. With goats that doesn't have too take too long, maybe about 3 or 4 years at most, because they are able to breed when they are just a year old. It's also neat to learn how to milk or trim hooves and other things that you wouldn't ordinarily be able to do. Female goats are called does. Male goats are called bucks. We primarily raise does because they are easier to manage, they don't have an offensive odor (unlike bucks), and there are more shows for does. A male goat that has been neutered is known as a wether. We usually don't keep dairy goat wethers, but some kids raise and show pygmy wethers. Other domesticated goats include Boer goats that are starting to be raised for meat, Cashmere goats that are raised for cashmere and Nigerian Dwarf goats. Domesticated goats differ from wild goats such as Mountain goats. Quote
