Today was the first day to train for show goating. The herd hated it. The training consisted of tying them to a leash for a half hour. It was hard to see them struggle against the collar. They soon learned it was easier to relax then fight. At the end of the 1/2 hour session they were gently released and given some fresh greens. Tommorow we will try again and see how they fair, this time with more human touch. In the long run this will make them friendlier, but I hate that they are nervous by the whole experience. I wish I knew how to make it easier for them.
