How to Handle Your Pet Goat Properly

The key to proper handling of your goats is to do so with confidence, patience and gentleness. Handling them on a regular basis from a young age will help greatly in getting them habituated to human interaction. Otherwise, it will likely be a stressful experience for your pet goat.

When restraining your pet goats, place your hand or arm below its neck. On the other hand, your other arm should be positioned on or around your goat’s rear. When lifting it, the safest way to do this would be grasping it above the top of its legs and firmly supporting its chest and abdomen.

Do not drag your goat by any of its body parts or handle it roughly by its horns under any circumstances. Doing so will likely break or damage its horns.
