Yes....they are funny!

And that one is amazing! LOL

We had one named Pickles that was VERY vocal. He would answer me when I talked to him for as long as I kept it up. Others would just reply once or twice.

Here is a trivia fact for you. A mother and newborn can recognize each other's voice, in a large herd, after the baby is an hour old. One year we had 33 babies for the combined herds (155 head). Herding adult goats is not bad. Herding baby goats is like herding cats. But we would want to make sure the Momma and baby went together. So we loaded the babies first. When they cried out, the Mommas would come running.

The top pic is of a yearling I name Eeyore. He had a rough first 6 months of life. He was so sick his mother stopped letting him nurse. I would carry him up hills and hold him up to get the good greenery. He is now much bigger and still remembers me.

The bottom pic is of a month old baby of one of the old goats named Leather Tuscadero. We are having a quiet conversation.

The pics above are of one of favorite goats. Her name is Annabelle. The first two pics are from the day she was born.

Best pics I could get of the babies that year. This is about half of them. But they were still, so I got what I could get.
