Goat Burps

What do you think a goat burp should sound like when you spell it out?

One of the quiet burps that sort of appears out of nowhere and splits a beautiful moment.

That'd be me then, would it?

I have an awful lot of trouble interpreting goat noises in general. They aren't 'sheepy' sounds at all really.

When they 'talk' to you, everything reverberates really quickly and I find it particularly difficult to reproduce on paper.

I'm rambling ... again.

Only just noticed the smell comment. My boys don't smell!!! Actually it's only billies that are very whiffy, wethers (castrated males) don't smell at all.
My friend had a billy that he loved very much, but said if you ever touched him you needed to burn your clothes afterwards!

Well, Oarsman, I had got a sort of
"Baarapp"

But now I'm thinking your
"Beerupp" may come closer.

I tend to think of it as being close to a froggie croak sound?

This one has been bugging me for ages, MM. I mean, what kind of writer am I if I can't even interpret a goat burp

Ooh, I can make you very nostalgic about goats after today.

Was showing a couple around the place because it's for sale. The three boys accompanied us all the way. They untied their shoe laces, nibbled jumpers and trousers, walked around leaning on them and then one promptly **** on the womans shoe.
It was a compliment but I don't think she took it quite that way.

There were little rabbit poops in her trouser turn ups and trainers.

Anyway, if anybody ever does manage to come up with the noise they make when they are talking to you, the very fast reverberating thing they do with their lips, please feel free to post. Because that has definitely got me beat.

You're right, that is an improvement!

You're right about the lack of top teeth as well. They also have a split upper lip which I think helps with the reverberation thingy.

A strangely uncomfortable thought though, is that I have got other people thinking about goat burps whilst eating their lunch

Now I would just like to make a point here, and this is not in a 'rose tinted glasses, my lads are angels' type of attitude - I have never heard my boys fart - not once!

Maybe it's a girl thing

I'm with you on naughty goats, SoccerMom. I've spent all day getting one of mine back in from the field next door. Why should their weeds taste better than mine!!!!

Can't say I've ever had much to do with Pyranees mountain dogs, Pam. Closest I've come is working with St Bernards. Now they do fart, but I don't remember much burping - maybe a bit of bicarb in his water bowl would help?

I think we've hit on something here, SoccerMom. Thinking about it, where I used to live, the nannies did fart, but the boys definitely didn't (talking about wethers not billies here).

I cite in evidence, young Bob. Located to your left on the screen. He is the one lazing on a sofa. Never a fart I have heard and we have lived in close proximity for long periods.

I don't know whether it's their diet or internal construction, or a combination of both. The boys tend to get a lot less concentrate than the nannies because they don't need it for milk production.

Mind you, if I ever do hear him fart, y'all will be the first to know

I wish editors felt the same way

Yep, tend to be.

Informative, but humorous. Trouble is the market doesn't really want that. When it comes to animals they want "informative" full stop.

BORING!!!!
