They’re genetically hard wired to freak out and fall over.

Poor things have no choice.

All to save some stupid sheep.

Sucks, don’t it?

I wanted to see how my flock would react to my taking my dog, leashed into the barn....I just opened the door and took 2 steps inside...that room was full of cud eating goats. I just stood there, the dog didn't move. Every nanny got up and ran out. The 2 billys and 2 wethers just stood their ground, didn't turn their backs to a dog. I turned around and left, just wondering how they would react. The males would have fought, they were my 4 biggest ones...The large breeding male had horns that from point to point was about 44 inches across but the other 3 had good size horns also, they curled and I wouldn't want to get him mad at me.....He was fine except during breeding season and I wouldn't even go into the pasture until I spotted where he was. He had the record for amount of mohair sheared at one time....he gave 44 pounds, twice the average for a adult male.
