How NOT to catch a goat

1:30 [in strange voice] _“Would you like a burnt grilled cheese Mr. Goat?”_

[@LeRoiJojo]

Ah.. goats. Reminds me of that one time in summer camp: it was my first time watching over the camp during the weekend, and we had a little farm with goats, and my boss had insisted a few times that I had to take good care of the goats, that the previous person hadn't fed them all weekend and I really had to feed them or else he's gonna be mad. So, Saturday morning, on time, the sweet and naive 17-year-old me turns up to the farm with food to feed the goats. Not. A. Single. One. No goats to be seen. Empty pen. No obvious escape method. They're scattered around camp. Had to lure them in the pen with food once, watch them to see how they get out, fix it, then lure them in again. And those buggers are fierce! You show them food, then have to run because they'll fight you for it. They'll try to run ahead of you to stop your path, front hooves on your shoulders. Playing rugby with hungry goats is quite the workout!... So yeah. I get the struggle, Destin. I really get it. Don't mess with the goats.

[@miriamrosemary9110]

What a story! Jeez, didn't know they were such a handful 😅

[@MatthewGeier]

@@miriamrosemary9110 My family kept 3 dairy goats for milk when I was little. They make entertaining (if somewhat of a handful) pets. Very mischievous. I'm sure they did things (like show off their escape skills) just to annoy us. I think goats have secretly resisted being properly domesticated. They pretend to get protection and food.

[@CarminaEnoctis]

@@MatthewGeier I have long suspected this about cats!

[@riuphane]

This is so ridiculous. And my first question is, why? What was the reason that you ended up in this predicament?

[@ichthysghoti]

Yes please, need the backstory… and how does it end?

[@danielnorman8595]

That was a male and it looked like the others were females one of them might have been in estrus. The other reason could be it was sold. If you don't separate them they breed every time I went from 2 To 37 in a matter of about five years. And I sold three of them so it would be 40.

[@riuphane]

@@danielnorman8595 I understand why one would want to separate goats, but how did this happen specifically to Destin? I'm assuming since he was filming that either it was just too ridiculous not to share or it was part of a video, which has me wondering what he's working on. I feel like there are easier ways to separate them, but then again I don't have goats. My cousin raises them professionally and judges them as well, and I sent her this video and her first reaction was "they really need a proper setup lol"

[@blic-sx9ix]

This brings back fond memories. When I was a kid we had a litter of pigs escape the pen. They were about 20 lbs. and so quick! Dad had to go to work. Mom let us 4 kids stay home from school to help catch them. I remember us trying to find ways to catch them including hiding behind trees with lassos, using crab dip nets and many other ideas. Working all day we caught maybe 2 out of the 8 in the litter. When Dad got home we told him we still needed to catch 6 pigs. He said follow me. He went to the pen, open the gate and called the sow (mama pig) out in the yard. She came out grunted a few times and the pigs ran to her. He tapped the mama on the rump a few times and she returned to the pen with the pigs in tow. Dad said it was good we chased the pigs around all day to make them hungry. 50 years later my siblings still talk about that day.

[@jcknives4162]

While goats are smarter than cows, they have a similar weakness, give them a place they want to go and a place you want them to go. But my all time favorite is to go out with food, crinkle the wrapping of butterscotch hard candy and then give him one. Do it 3-4 times a day. This is training. Do it several days per week. Crinkle the plastic wrapper and they will come a running. Butterscotch hard candy is their kryptonite!!!!

[@ErvinSalma]

I so much love Butterscotch candy, I will do the same :)

[@jerrymiller276]

ME TOO!

[@liquidbraino]

Used a similar method to train a cat a few years ago & cats are notoriously hard to train. Except that I snapped my fingers directly over the food every time I fed the cat and moved the food every single time - after about three days the cat figured out "snapping fingers sound = FOOD" and would run toward the sound.

@@theCuchuoi1 Yep. Animals have incredible speed in short bursts. They are not built to run for miles non-stop. Humans can because we sweat. Sweating allows us to cool our bodies more efficiently than any other animal. Thus we were able to chase animals until they literally died running.

The one thing that goats cannot resist is "sweet feed". It also doesn't help that goats have 340deg vision. I had both small breeds and a large breeds. I found that to catch them you obviously want to protect yourself from the horns so best to grab them by the horns. Then if you turn their head sideways they become quite docile so you can collar them or provide preventative veterinary treatment. Fun video to watch. Keep up the good work.

I have 37 pygmies that look just like that. One of them was just born yesterday. The best way to catch them is while they are all busy eating.

[@daltongregory9436]

What I found works best is to reach your arm in front of its neck as it is running along a wall and pin it against the wall. Just be wary it may jump up and headbutt you in the face. (I speak from experience.) If you have a group of them running along the same wall it makes it easier because the goat you're after will follow those ahead of it and it's less likely to turn around when you step in front of it.
