Goats sometimes communicate by biting. Some don’t bite at all and others bite a lot.
Like biting, butting serves a role in the goat world. Goats butt to bully others out of their way, to establish their place in the herd, as a form of play, or to fight, often during rut.
Mounting: Goat kids start mounting each other even when they’re only a few days old.]]> 2017-11-08 15:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/naomimccullough10/7ixz9b319y3n/wish/204862720 Abnormal Goat behavior naomimccullough10 https://padlet.com/naomimccullough10/7ixz9b319y3n/wish/204863708 Goats that abort late in pregnancy or those that have a second pregnancy subsequent to nursing can self-suckle. this is an abnormal behavior.
