It is at http://schoonoverfarm.wordpress.com/2012/04/24/fixin but I am not sure she is really our most annoying goat. We also have Brown Sugar who can escape through any fence or gate and always goes where he shouldn't. Then there is Zeus who is so big and walks right in front of you so you cannot go anywhere.

For example, back in sixth grade I had some math homework I was stuck on and I'd gone into the pasture to ask mom a question about it. The goat cam up behind and snagged about a 1/2 sheet of college rule paper and had it gone before I could turn around. The work wasn't too bad, so I got it re-done. But I still told the other kids the goat ate my homework.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663217263265165317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-21349421408691782862012-04-30T10:53:22.753-04:002012-04-30T10:53:22.753-04:00I used to have one who annoyed me to no end, but s...I used to have one who annoyed me to no end, but since we've moved and she has a better, larger pasture she has calmed down.

Thanks!<br /><br />Plain & Joyful Living, but that's what makes them so amusing. :) (As well as sometimes annoying.)<br /><br />Bettina, ha! I imagine we could all think of a few folks to award that one too. <br /><br />Nina, so true, so true. Angora goats were what I thought I wanted originally, along with Shetland sheep. Nubians, sheesh, they can be a nuisance. <br /><br />Jocelyn, how funny. And it's true! They do have their days, and moments. :)<br /><br />Peaceful, it ought to but Surprise is stubborn to the point where she does herself a disservice! The proverbial cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. :)<br /><br />Mama Pea, it's those Nubians! Kinders are supposed to have calmer personalities, which is why we put up with the Nubians. It's true though, they're hard not to love and enjoy in spite of the antics.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-71676650591815051632012-04-30T08:58:59.491-04:002012-04-30T08:58:59.491-04:00Imagine having a herd of about 20!

And You-Know-Who would be the ring leader!<br /><br />We had a very large, red Nubian doe named Debra who looked like she should be winning prizes in the show ring. However, she was the clumsiest goat I've ever seen. If she didn't fall getting up on the milking stand, she'd fall getting off. You can imagine trying to catch a 350 lb. goat (slight exaggeration) in those circumstances so she didn't hurt herself. If she were to investigate your old hay pile, she'd climb on top, fall, end up on her back with all four feet waving in the air, screaming for someone to come rescue her.<br /><br />Goats.

It's gotten to the point where I can't feed Dulci in Min's presence, as she gets too upset to eat with Min sticking her head in there all the time.<br /><br />She's not THAT annoying, but she's pretty close.
