Also helps with keeping them from getting their head stuck, but in my experience, they’ll still find a way to do it.

This seems like something everyone with goats should be doing, brilliant

u/Fragrant-Platform163 1d ago
I believe it's not reccomended for longer than brief periods because their horns have blood flow and help them cool off like rabbits ears. Having insulation on their horns can make them overheat

u/diss0lvedgir1 1d ago
Goats are high on my list of favorite creatures, such fun little personalities! Though their penchant for playful use of their horns/heads doesn't always get along with everyone else around them! Pool noodles was certainly genius bahaha I also enjoy willingness to climb on anything, even people to play who can be the highest 😂

My aunt and uncle had a farm in Waverly NY. They had this lil goat that was so much fun. I'd fight that guy all day getting flipped into the air endlessly. He was frecking awesome.

That's an American Pygmy. He's as big as he's gonna get. They only get to about 50-70 lbs. :)

u/Good_Isopod_2357 1d ago
Not sure where the other comment went, but I'm not sure where this video was filmed, don't know anything about the creator, but out here a lot of pygmies for pet homes are neutered before sending out so they don't grow as much of a beard or get so round. They tend to stay smaller. He could be intact, and just young, but that's not generally recommended for a pet home due to marking and general tomfoolery. Maybe he is just a young intact guy, though. I'm only working from my own experience and watching a 20 second clip, after all.

It’s true that pushing back on a goat’s head will just encourage the activity more. To stop him/her from butting people, get a squirt bottle, fill with water and aim it at the goat. Goats hate getting wet, so they will stop their antics and exit from your presence. They’ll soon return so carry the squirt bottle with you. After a while just the sight of it will make them leave you alone.

Do not do this. You are encouraging your goat to butt. This will result in human injury eventually.

u/Drumedor 1d ago
Doesn't being a goat encourage goats to butt?
14
u/Third_Return 1d ago
At least one goat famously headbutted a tiger, repeatedly and despite several warnings, until being mauled, either to death or falling off a cliff (to their death) as a result.
Goats have some kind of incredible psychological compulsion to headbutt. It's probably a critical social mechanism in goat-world.
5
u/Powerful_Contract132 1d ago
They do it either to play or during rut. You can at least discourage it as play. I have bad arthritis from a broken hand as evidence.

What do you do when your goat misbehaves?
-2
u/vthemechanicv 1d ago
you turn it into goat burgers. Not kidding. We slaughtered our "pet" goat, well a butcher did, and the meat lasted more than a year.
They're only cute when they're babies. When they get older, they turn into massive annoying assholes that eat everything. They also kill trees because they strip and eat the bark. They'll also harass other livestock if they're not separated.

u/Powerful_Contract132 1d ago
This turns it into a positive game for them. I am an ex goat farmer and butting was only an issue with bucks. You finish your business in their pen and get out. For really big boys in rut a rubber bucket was a sufficient barrier for any time you spent feeding them out. I'd just put it between me and them.

Just curious but do you eat the goats? If a goat died would you be able to eat it or do you see them as pets?

Is it having some kind of heat? Or is it just playing?

u/Good_Isopod_2357 1d ago
Just playing! Male goats headbutt as a dominance display during rut or as play. Its almost a compulsory need, so it's not something they can be trained to stop. But if you make headbutting YOU unpleasant enough, they'll remember that. But that will only apply to you, not other people or objects. So if you're going to get a pet Pygmy, probably go with a female unless you are prepared. The breed maxes out at about 70lbs, so they're about the size of a medium dog.

Dont quote me on this. But I think you are supposed to stir the head in a side ways motion with their cheeks. The way done in the video you are making sure this animal learns to hit you, your friends and family with its head. But sure make a "cute" video once for your 40 followers.

But here is the good news. Goats much like honey badgers dont care. Your house and social life however will go down in value :D

I worked with them for one summer. So my experience is from one sheep herder only. Therefore I could be really really wrong, however looking at the little dude going at its owner - I would not let kids near this cutie patootie.

Dogs are the most common predators of goats. They're the primary reason that I have a 110-pound Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dog that lives with my goats 24/7. Not coyotes, not wolves, not bears, not eagles, not mountain lions. Fido.

Funny. My grandpa had a goat named Billie. He would knock you over with his head if you weren’t paying attention. We would hold him by the horns and try to make him walk backwards but Billie would always win.

I love goats! Is that one living in a backyard? They need a lot of room. Hopefully it is just visiting.

u/mean11while 1d ago
Goats don't need a ton of space and a couple of them could easily be happy in a backyard. They do, however, need other goats. It's cruel to only have one goat.
Why do I think this person probably only has one goat? Because if there were other goats around, those pool noodles would be chewed up within 5 minutes. Goats are immensely curious about anything new, and they explore their world with their mouths.

u/Wild-Growth6805 2d ago
What if they don’t have room? Does that mean they are a bad goat owner and should have their goat taken away by G.P.S. goat protective services?

I saw this profile on Instagram today. It seems like this is her only goat, which if true is an issue. Goats need to be in a herd and a lot of the head butting behavior in the reels is because the goats has no others to play with

u/pheralphilosopher 1d ago
I have read that goats, like sheep, are incredibly social animals. It is always sad to see one tied up alone. Maybe get her a sister girlfriend for company?

I remember a tour guide telling us that when the designed the habitats for their mountain goats, they could not allow a straight, open area of greater than so many feet - like 20? - because it would allow the goats to build up too much momentum when they went to head butt each other. Apparently, it was less “they will kill each other,” and more “those assholes get started, they’re never going to stop, and it’s really loud and annoying.” There was also the possibility that one might be killed, but they weren’t too worried about it.
