one of our babies farted

[coondog]

I was holding our American Alpine/Saanen baby last night and I don't know maybe I squeezed her too much(I was trying to hold her up to a tree to eat leaves), but after a while when I had her, I heard this farting noise lol

[deafgoatlady]

That is normal.

I've had cud on me before, does that count?

I've heard farty kids before. Also had a mouthfull of cud spit onto my face when my doe sneezed on me. Would take the fart anyday over cud-sneeze.

Anything that eats will do the poot thing.

I saw one of my cows eating some grass, and she gave a big cough.
Straight out came a big plug of crap about the size of your fist, and shot behind her about 12 ft.
Glad I was not behind here.

Yea, what's funny is when a goat coughs and sends one little pellet flying. Like a BB gun!

Oh, cud in the face........gag.

I gave my Quarter Horse and alfalfa cube one day (as a treat) and he chewed it for a few moments, then did this sort of sneeze thing and blew a big goppy mess of chewed-up alfalfa all over me! I haven't heard my children laugh that hard in a long time...

Oh and the cud burp too. Shoooeee! Followed by the smacking in the ear.

Ah yes, the dreaded Cud-Sneeze. It only seems to happen when they're right in my face. Ugggg. Hate that but whaddya gonna do?

[lasergrl]

my goat sneezed and farted at the same time, twice in a row. Boy did I laugh.........

I read somewhere that preditors do not make any sound when they poot. Apparently, so they can sneak up on their prey more effectively. Hence the ever-popular "blame it on the dog" scenario...

I don't know if that is true or not.
