Grinning Goat???
I've seen dogs that "grin" when you talk to them, but I had never seen a grinning goat. I have one long yearling doe that I think is grinning.

When I milk, the chute that doubles for a milk stand/stancheon is enclosed with cattle panels. This little doe comes up to it alone and looks at me. If I start talking to her and get a handful of feed for her to nibble out of my hand, she starts "grinning". No other goat here gets special treats, but I just have to give them to her because I get so tickled watching her "grin."

This is her grinning, and waiting on her treat.

That's funny! Yes some goats grin but most do not. You got lucky!

I have one too- that with her "toupee" makes me laugh. But then I tend to chose my goats for their ability to make me laugh.
