Chickens have a "pecking order" but goats just butt heads!
When we dropped Crockett off next door, it took some time for the does to adjust to his presence. The little Nubian/Nigerian Dwarf mix Azura kept rearing up on her hind legs and slamming her head into his. With thick skulls and no horns, it worked out fine, and it was a sight to see. Check out these crazy photos and GIFs!
THE PHOTOS
THE GIFS
The photos may make more sense once you see her in action. It's so cool to be able to share these GIFs this way. It should give you a real feel like you were almost actually there!
THE CROWD
Yup, this much action and entertainment on the homestead is sure to draw a crowd. LOL! No goats were hurt and we had fun. Eventually, I think that they got over it.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-of-"adjusting"
Until next time…

Goats having a good time and using their strong head to show strength.
I like to hear their voice. Annoying sometimes but goat is a goat.
Instinct kicks in and everything goes back to normal.

funny how different animals have fun, my kids love feeding them when we go to our friends house. You do some really great posts, I am glad I found you.

We like variety. Eventually we may have more, but we need to build a house first.

This year, I am going to build a shed out of pallets. I hope to find insulation, and other supplies to possibly make it into a very small house with a wood burner. Just in case a friend needs a place to stay for a wile. There are some very neat container houses going up in my area also, and they seem very cheap to buy and get delivered. I look forward to your posts now, and you are inspiring me to write better on Steemit regardless of the payouts.

Yeah, you can't let the payouts get to you. Check out this post that I made just over a year ago for 54 cents.

Personally, I thought that it was an awesome post full of rare original content, and even though the post payout was less than $1, it's still an awesome post full of rare original content. Try to show me one other steemian who made a post like that. Payouts come and go, but content on the blockchain lasts!

Great quote "You never know what you're gonna find, but you find more when you look." I am the same way, especially when the snow melts around here, I find cool stuff where the plows pile all the snow in big parking lots. Great inspiration for writing better. Thanks for your time.

The fun with animal husbandry is because they tend to show you the other side of what we humans are missing about animal life cycle,how they feed,struggle for survival,adapt and many more but what am sure is that the head knock of some animals like ram,goats,bull and even the bick fight of hen it's bloody sometimes but hilarious and fun I do even video them when they do fight,and make a replay to catch fun when at my leisure time. I guess @papa-pepper you had fun watching and taking those pics and sure thanks for sharing this wonderful photos with steemains you actually gave me a memory lane throw backs on when we rare goats at my grand-mom place.

Some day we might have goats, I hope. Today, though, we are happy that our first batch of home grown quail eggs are hatching, they are so cute! It's nice to see the circle of life from beginning to end. I still have not got up my nerve to process our first quail, but the eggs are amazing.

yes, it becomes an exciting spectacle as long as the goats do not hurt each other, because sometimes when the goats gore one another, it does not mean they want to kill each other, but it can be a part to play or show the skill for the sake of prestige @papa-pepper

Some of these animals have very violent "customs" when it comes to their rank in the animal society, who gets to mate with who, etc.
I think one of the most violent and uncomfortable "rituals" I've seen between two animals is when giraffes go at it.
I can't imagine the sheer force of impact that occurs when a giraffe uses that long neck as a handle and his/her head as a sledgehammer.
All I can say is that the cracking sound it makes on impact is absolutely nauseating.

It's lovely when goats do butt head without any injuries.
Could that have been their way of welcoming Crockett to the fold?
I'm thinking it was some kind of welcome to the hood message, anyways I'm glad they got over it and are living like one big family, the big family is my own expectations 😀😀

Her aim is off if she's trying to do damage. Must be that she's just playing. Or letting Crockett know that she is still the boss. Either way, the pictures are cute. And your new camera is awesome! No blur, crisp image. Good choice.
I can't imagine it would go well if people started literally butting heads when they met. Maybe SNL can do a skit on that.

Just think of the headaches if we settled the pecking order that way.
Once Crockett has proved to have a hard head then they can get down to the reason he was invited.
