Ruralnurse: Goats tend to run away from anything that startles or hurts them. That's why the electric fence works. But I would worry about panicking them into hurting themselves if they are wearing the collar around their necks and can't get away from the buzz/shock. Good thought but I'm not sure it would work like you want it too.

I have two of the loudest Saanens ever produced then. Boy those girls can bellow! My Toggenberg never makes any noise. The other, a mixed breed only sounds off when she is hungry or when the Saanen is chasing her. My older Saanen even makes noise when she eats, kind of an um-um-um sound I can hardly wait until they go in to season.....I may have to run away

Thanks Kitty - I guess if I get any goats I'll keep the collars on the dogs!
