Great information. The illustrations are very good too. If I walk out in the pasture with a bucket of feed, I end up on the ground with hoof prints all over me...
Thanks! I'm starting a goat grazing business with San Clemente Island goats. They are quite wild and not used to being handled at all. The two oldest does are fine but several younger does and all the kids are freaked out most of the time if I move toward them. I'm also looking at the Trust Technique developed by James French and his partner Shelley. How to be calm in my mind as well as my body and not scare these sensitive creatures.
This is a decent video for NEW handlers with skittish goats. However, most people watching this video have just a few goats and they will not be herding them from field to field or through chutes/headlocks. As usual, take the advice you can use and leave the rest behind for someone else.
It didn’t seem very accurate to me. But I don’t have much need to move flocks of goats. We have to move individuals for 99% of the job, and this doesn’t help with that at all.
