Throughout the years we have raised countless goats. When they were babies I would teach them things that I shouldn't. One wether we had , Bobbaloo was a prime example of teaching him something that is cute when he is a baby but not so cute as he got older. I taught Bobbaloo to sit in my lap when he was a kid and weighed around twelve  pounds.  However this habit I taught him when he was a baby became a nightmare as he grew to be over two hundred pounds. He did not understand why I would be cross with him sitting in my lap when he was older because he was taught to do that as a baby. It was a bad habit to teach him . Goats are fast learners which makes them so easy to train but humans need to be smart about the habits we teach them. Bobbaloo sat in my lap up until his final years ( fourteen) and yes it was very painful on my part.
