i need examples of goats being curious and intelligent?

Question

the wilder the example/story the better

Answer 1

My parents raised nubian goats when I was a little girl. Our billy goat used to try to help my dad work on our vehicles. Dad would be under the car on the ground working away, and Richard, the billy, would lay down, roll over on his side, and skoot himself underneath the car untill he got into dad's field of vision. He was a very curious animal and had to be in everyone's business.
One day the family was inside eating lunch, and we heard a clack, clack, clack, clack on the roof. We went outside to find Richard and half of the nannies on top of our roof. After a little puzzlement, we saw that they had gotten up there by jumping on top of a car that was parked by our chicken coop, which was by the shed, which wasn't far from the house. They will climb on anything they possibly can.
We eventually sold all of them because they would not stay in the electric fence. They would jump over it using the help of leaning trees or small, close hills, crawl under it, or tollerate the pain long enough to squeeze between the strands just to get out and explore.
People say that a goat will eat anything, but they're wrong. A goat will not eat anything that you have bitten first. They smell your saliva and will not eat it. They also have a tendancy to eat things you you don't want them to eat like flowers, your garden, lose trim on vehicles, and clothing.
I'm not sure why you want goat stories, but I hope those help. Are you thinking of owning goats, or already own some? If so I hope you have a 10 ft. chain link fence and an abundance of patience because they can be a real pain! Although they can be very entertaining and loving creatures when understood.

Answer 2

my goat can open the trash can, hence we put bungy straps on things we don't want him into! if the back door isn't closed all the way, he gets in saunters thru the mudroom into the kitchen& will procede to slide up the door on the breadbox, he has a major addiction to bread! he will hop up on the bench next to the flower garden so that he can get in to eat my roses,as for the rest of the gardens, he just pushes his body on the fence till it droops enuff so he can hop in & eat whatever suits his fancy that day!gardening& having a goat are not a good combo!

Answer 3

We had a goat named Patches. He would come up the steps to the door and head butt the door, we would then open it and he would walk thru the front door and go out the back door. He would follow us along with our dog when we rode our ponies. He loved to sleep on the top of my dads pickup truck.
