They are a little suspicious of canines. Especially the neighbors gigantic Rhodesian Ridgeback. But they just headbutt him and he falls on his side than gets up and has that look on his face like "what just happened?".Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-79508930983997137572008-05-08T01:24:00.000-07:002008-05-08T01:24:00.000-07:00I know Rowdy's horns look enormous, well, they are...I know Rowdy's horns look enormous, well, they are enormous, his brother has horns just a tad smaller and they curve out a little more than Rowdy's, but they are harmless. My other 2 goats Walter and Edgar are hornless, actually Walter is the only "real" hornless goat, Edgar had one horn when we got him 4 yrs ago and it was curved like a horseshoe almost and yes, a very good handle for when you needed to get a hold of him. But they are so friendly you don't need a horn handle. Edgar lost his horn in a headbutting fight with one of his goat buddies so he is now hornless. I keep my 4 goats with my 2 horses and they are all best friends. Especially Walter the Nubian goat and my Arab Brandy. They use to be boyfriend/girlfriend until the Boy came into the picture!Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-63723463381438044672008-05-07T01:33:00.000-07:002008-05-07T01:33:00.000-07:00Those horns are quite useful for capturing and hol...Those horns are quite useful for capturing and holding on actually. My angora goats all have large horns, good for scratching their backs.<BR/>They do get pretty agressive with each other and the other goats we have, though. Sometimes I get worried.<BR/><BR/>Rowdy does have some big horns, though. Hopefully he is a calm and not pushy goat.<BR/><BR/>Those frogs are CUTE!Laughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-77082642315299578642008-05-06T20:20:00.000-07:002008-05-06T20:20:00.000-07:00That is a beautiful horse.

Goats don't gouge humans with their horns? Rowdy the goat does come at you, sometimes with his head down, he is mostly friendly but I always worry....I guess I need to spend more time getting to know him. But with my new goat handling advice (ear biting and grabbing him by the horns!) I should be fine should he decide to attack! ;)Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-13386690745055720032008-05-06T16:48:00.000-07:002008-05-06T16:48:00.000-07:00I love Rowdy, we had a goat when I was little.

They start out shy till they get to know and trust you then they follow you around and love on you more than a puppy. Unless they are born poll all goats will grow horns. We disbud (burn the horn button) when our goats are around 2 weeks old. The ADGA that our Nubians are registered with recommend it and require it for showing. Thanks for visiting my blog! Hope your Horse is well now and enjoying playing with the frogs. :)Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467921308987979013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-80496356273487115152008-05-05T22:27:00.000-07:002008-05-05T22:27:00.000-07:00Nothing to fear of those big horns my dear, big si...Nothing to fear of those big horns my dear, big sis, except when you go to put the leadrope on him or get headbutted in the butt. Rowdy has actually turned into a very friendly goat. When we first got Rowdy and his brother Ralph they were very shy and you could not pet them at all. Now they come up to the gate to greet you before the horses and the other 2 goats, who use to be the first at the gate. <BR/>And yes dear sis, I want my frogs back when you are done with them. I should have had you sign that contract! :)<BR/>I also was very excited today to see your boy show improvement throughout the day. I couldn't wait to call you to tell you that he was doing much better. <BR/>See you tomorrow!Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.com
