Pronunciation
Nearly everything I've learned about goats over the years has been over the internet, from articles and websites and great people on forums. I haven't heard many of the words I use on a daily basis actually spoken. There are a few words that I'm not sure how to pronounce so I thought I'd ask the experts!
Sah-nen or Say-nen?
Boh-lus or Ball-lus?
An-thel-mintic or Ant-hel-mintic?
Chev or Chev-ruh?
chev-ON or CHEV-on?
ca-preen or CAP-reen... or is it "ine" like thine?
Thanks!

Great thread..I get accused all the time of making up my own words. Sometimes it's embarrassing.
I have trouble with Diamacious Earth and Calculi. I have no clue how to say them correctly..but I know what I mean in my own head lol!!
Also Lamancha...I have a feeling I'm saying that one wrong.

I thought Saanen was pronounced with an "ah" sound not an "ay" sound?

Minelson- I've heard several people say LamanKA, though I'm very sure it's pronounced just as it's spelled......... LaMawnCha (this is how I've heard breeders pronounce it anyways  ) I've also heard people say La MAN Cha.....

Is it really Ca-Preen? I assumed it ended with ine just like canine,equine,feline,bovine,etc.

In HS my Ag teacher said goats are miserable trouble makers, which is why their name didn't rhyme with the dumber, less troublesome stock like equines, bovines ect. ect. He drilled it into us that it was Ca-Preen, so I've always said it that way...

Hey...while we're on this topic...how do you say Corid?
EVERYONE here says "cO rid" First syllable drawn out with a long O sound & a pause between the two syllables...
I say it "Cor id" with an "or" sound & get funny looks then they say "Oh you mean cO-rid!"
Sorry, but to mean the way they say it sounds funny & doesn't make sense....lol

LOL, except that they do rhyme with them. Ca-preen is easier to say for some reason even if it is wrong.
I say cor-id. Although given the rules of the english language (half of which don't apply half the time) co-rid is probably the correct way to say it.
Co-rid makes sense if you think of it as getting rid of cocci. Although then I suppose maybe it should be Caw-rid.

Oh Dear, I don't think I can learn to say KAYprine, I've been saying cuhPRENE much too long. Anyway, why should a Texan say something the way a Britishman says it?
