You, my dear sir or madam, have a goast. It's when goats from long times past come back from the dead [but not like zombies] and haunt the pastures of current goats. Goasts. They thrive off the fear and panic of living goats. In order to remove your goast, you must burn sage, howl like a monkey and dance under the sun naked wearing naught but a bonnet. Trust me, every time I do it, it scares EVERYTHING off. You'll be fine, you just need to say Begone Goast! Haunt my goats no more!

Second what KSal guy said. Even if you borrow a a barky little toy dog for a while, might help. Does here. Cats don't like noise, in fact, most predators would rather do their dirt and get out undetected. A good dog, even a mediocre one, usually sounds off.

What a great idea for the goat costume class at the show. Or actually for Christmas- a little holly wreath areound the neck, a sheet and, voila, "Goast of Christmas Past."

If my goats get nervy, I very seldom pay any attention. They snort and get fidgety over lots of things: the ancient border collie taking a nap, a flapping chicken, the wind blowing.....

Now, if the HORSES get nervy, I pay attention!
