That is amazing. How fun! I would love to see that. A while back I had four angoras. Yes, they are smarter than they let on. They look up at us all goof, but I know it is just an act. My main concern is a busy road near the pastures. I am really hoping to get a good start with these two, and then be able to really get a good handle on the babes. Shake hands? That is amazing.

I have a 2yr.old nanny that comes on command and will sometimes "shake hands",(hooves). Have you had goats before? They are much smarter than they let on.

We tried that. The past owners used grain to bring them in, so they are on to us. They pretty much know when it feed time and when it is an attempted bribe. We have only had these two for a week. I am trying to train them to come on command. They did better today. Thanks. We tried that. The past owners used grain to bring them in, so they are on to us.

(says she who is not homeschooling this year *sigh*) homeschooling does not have to be expensive…it depends on what you’re doing and where your getting your resources. *wink*
