Working A Goat To Get Ready For A Goat Show

This video is to assist in the "know how" of training a goat and getting them familiar with setting up in the show ring. Remember to be patient and keep working your goat and you will be able to train them. Another good tip is to simply walk them in a large circle slowly, as you will need to do so in the show ring as well.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Haha. That's not the first comment like that. Kittens are cute:). Thank you for watching!

[@nancyoxford7623]

I really appreciate this video. It is a true representation of how the goat is going to make you work.

[@quirkygirrl]

I have a meat goat and with covid this year we haven't had any training or meetings for our 4h. I know we aren't dairy but this is one of the best videos we've seen. Thank you so much for posting! With this being our first year we are so so thankful for your families videos!

[@Shelzbells]

You have a lot of patience stacking that goat :)

[@nancyoxford7623]

I am a new Dairy Goat 4-H leader and am gleaning as much as I can for my kiddos!!!

[@SundazeFarm]

Your videos on how to prep for show are SO helpful!! I've been sharing them with our 4-H group to reinforce what the kids are learning and practicing. Looking forward to seeing your show videos!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Brock Meese Thank you! Glad it helps :)

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

This may be serious but your goat has us in stitches.

[@conniekreider6014]

So helpful!

[@HomsteadingThePioneerWay]

I'm trying to learn how to LA milk test and show thanks so much

[@mountaingoat9007]

Thank you

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Hope that playlist answers a lot of your questions 😁

[@ashlynngonzalez1064]

It was weird because the judge at the show I was just at made us walk counter clockwise instead of most judges who walk clockwise. He also had seniors in showmanship go anywhere in the ring and have the best part of their goat face him while he stands in a corner. Hey he likes my goat so I'm fine with him.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

+Animalsforever31 That is a little different I must say. All judges are different :). So glad he liked your goats! Hope you had fun.

[@Brookew12345]

Tysm I look forward too you make more of these I have 13 fainting goats and I am looking into showing them so these videos really help if you have any tips on training/showing that would mean a lot

[@ashlynngonzalez1064]

Sometimes if they don't want to be set up I drop them and they automatically set up.

[@laynie8265]

Thanks so much! I was wondering, what type of goat is that? which ones work the best for showing?

[@laynie8265]

Thanks! That definitely helps! I will be sure to check them out!

How do you tame your goats and get them handled so well? I have several does that hate their back feet messed with?

[@Justinthecrazyboy]

Ok so what you can do is when you go to set them up hold there heads up tight and that should work

[@nicolebarrett-dandelionacr1196]

Do you use just normal dog choker chains? Or do you have a specific one you like to use?

[@hariskelsey9666]

Yup you can use normal dog chokers

[@Justinthecrazyboy]

I do not use a dog chain. I use a goat halter

[@HannaFardew]

Little bit was quite ornery 3 years ago

[@jordanratterree4881]

So quick question, ive learned how to set my goats up but not all of them "drop", so any tricks to getting them to do this?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Dig! Lol. Right above their rump move back and forth with your nails. Some take a little digging to make it happen. Some do it with a pinch.

[@baileyhowell6581]

Where do you get your collars ?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

You can get them a lot of places. Feed stores, TSC, pet stores, and even Wal-Mart. It's just a choker collar :)

[@baileyhowell6581]

Blue Cactus Dairy Goats , thank you so much

[@gamerweasel7000]

Hello, I recently joined FFA and I am deciding to show a goat. I have a terrible fear of being embarrassed by a misbehaving goat. Any tips for how to better control a goat?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Haha! You need to work work work them. They calm down eventually in most cases ;). It's really the only way around it.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Watch "Training Show Goats Part 1 and 2. That should help :)

[@gamerweasel7000]

Blue Cactus Dairy Goats Alright, thank you ^^ I have another question, but would you get points docked off for using tools such as prong collars for correction?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

In the open show ring, no. However, each judge can use discretion. In 4H you may get docked but I am not sure.

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaha! Very coot.

[@janetmcdonald9340]

Oh my! Go get another goat, lol! Sorry,bhahaha...

[@janetmcdonald9340]

It was funny, sorry!
