White Nanny Goat

Extremely intelligent, sociable and curious – goats are fascinating animals. They are closely related to sheep and have played an important role in human lives for a long time.

• Goats are sociable animals and therefore become depressed if they are separated or isolated from their companions, however they are not flock-orientated like sheep.
• They are one of the cleanliest animals and are much more selective feeders than cows, sheep, pigs, swine and even dogs.
• Goats are very intelligent and curious animals. Their inquisitive nature is exemplified in their constant desire to explore and investigate anything unfamiliar which they come across.
• They communicate with each other by bleating. Mothers will often call to their young (kids) to ensure they stay close-by. Mother and kid goats recognise each other’s calls soon after the mothers give birth.
