I feel like your goat-catching-effectiveness could be increased a lot by not carrying a phone in one hand.^^ But then again, we wouldn't have seen this.
I'm just picturing Old Testament priests trying to catch goats for sacrifice. "You want a griyulled cheeze Mr. Goat?" "Hay! Go get Mee Maw to stand over theyur!" LOL!
I can't remember the stuff we bought at the feed store that goats would kill for. It looked and tasted like human food trail mix that is made with molasses. Just sit down with a bucket and they'll be eating out of your hand.

Reviewers comment: Elaborate your method. Add future work: How can the research method be improved? Suggestion: Don't use phone while catching the goat.
I didn't notice the video was from the second channel when it popped up so I instantly pressed it and thought "Wow a scientific video on goats. That I HAVE to see". Still wasn't dissapointed with what I got instead.
@DANIEL NORMAN I understand why one would want to separate goats, but how did this happen specifically to Destin? I'm assuming since he was filming that either it was just too ridiculous not to share or it was part of a video, which has me wondering what he's working on. I feel like there are easier ways to separate them, but then again I don't have goats. My cousin raises them professionally and judges them as well, and I sent her this video and her first reaction was "they really need a proper setup lol"
I've watched your videos since I was in late middle school. I'm 23 now and watching your kids grow up has been one of my favorite things about your channels. You really raised some good ones Destin. I hope my children are able to communicate with adults the way yours can at their ages.
Ah.. goats. Reminds me of that one time in summer camp: it was my first time watching over the camp during the weekend, and we had a little farm with goats, and my boss had insisted a few times that I had to take good care of the goats, that the previous person hadn't fed them all weekend and I really had to feed them or else he's gonna be mad. So, Saturday morning, on time, the sweet and naive 17-year-old me turns up to the farm with food to feed the goats. Not. A. Single. One. No goats to be seen. Empty pen. No obvious escape method. They're scattered around camp. Had to lure them in the pen with food once, watch them to see how they get out, fix it, then lure them in again. And those buggers are fierce! You show them food, then have to run because they'll fight you for it. They'll try to run ahead of you to stop your path, front hooves on your shoulders. Playing rugby with hungry goats is quite the workout!... So yeah. I get the struggle, Destin. I really get it. Don't mess with the goats.
@@miriamrosemary9110 My family kept 3 dairy goats for milk when I was little. They make entertaining (if somewhat of a handful) pets. Very mischievous. I'm sure they did things (like show off their escape skills) just to annoy us. I think goats have secretly resisted being properly domesticated. They pretend to get protection and food.
@@theCuchuoi1 Yep. Animals have incredible speed in short bursts. They are not built to run for miles non-stop. Humans can because we sweat. Sweating allows us to cool our bodies more efficiently than any other animal. Thus we were able to chase animals until they literally died running.
While goats are smarter than cows, they have a similar weakness, give them a place they want to go and a place you want them to go. But my all time favorite is to go out with food, crinkle the wrapping of butterscotch hard candy and then give him one. Do it 3-4 times a day. This is training. Do it several days per week. Crinkle the plastic wrapper and they will come a running. Butterscotch hard candy is their kryptonite!!!!
Used a similar method to train a cat a few years ago & cats are notoriously hard to train. Except that I snapped my fingers directly over the food every time I fed the cat and moved the food every single time - after about three days the cat figured out "snapping fingers sound = FOOD" and would run toward the sound.
Is no one wondering why he brought out a camera to record catching a goat lmao. I wonder what other things he films that just doesn't make it to UA-cam
I think your problem is that the goat could sense the insincerity and mockery in your voice when you said, "would you like some burnt grilled cheese Mr goat?". It was over after that. I think they need to add another verse to the winged hussars song about Destin failing to catch the goat. Desperation, and a race against time! Then the winged hussars arrived!
LOVE THIS.....I wanna see a regular-channel video on making a perfect shelter with a catch area..... What part of 'plan ahead and feed a little grain regularly so the little goobers come when called' did you guys miss? LOLOLOLOL....A shelter with a stall you can close is another good thing.... As someone who's BTDT....DYING laughing! :)

This brings back fond memories. When I was a kid we had a litter of pigs escape the pen. They were about 20 lbs. and so quick! Dad had to go to work. Mom let us 4 kids stay home from school to help catch them. I remember us trying to find ways to catch them including hiding behind trees with lassos, using crab dip nets and many other ideas. Working all day we caught maybe 2 out of the 8 in the litter. When Dad got home we told him we still needed to catch 6 pigs. He said follow me. He went to the pen, open the gate and called the sow (mama pig) out in the yard. She came out grunted a few times and the pigs ran to her. He tapped the mama on the rump a few times and she returned to the pen with the pigs in tow. Dad said it was good we chased the pigs around all day to make them hungry. 50 years later my siblings still talk about that day.
We in east eu we catch goats (if there are just few ) with rope and a "sliding cramps" and the aim is its horns or legs. OR just flip it but that a bit brutal for the came not for the goath.
He never said there was nobody, (or no thing) smarter than him. The concept of the channel name is that you're always learning. And this day he learned. And was schooled! LOL.
Simple, block off most of the barn with just one gap, have a pallet at the side, wait till the goat put's its head through the gap for food or water, close the gap. Basically a cattle crush. But i guess rocket scientists don't do simple :D
What the heck, Destin? Why are they so afraid of you?? Were these even your animals or were you helping out a friend? Whoever they belong to needs to build them a proper shelter and then get them socialized. Then again, maybe this is just an old shed where they like to get shade when the sun is high. But yeah, that’s some bizarrely skittish goats.
In previous video footage of some farm (or something), it showed animals being led through a narrow walkway... maybe making a narrow walkway in which to corral them would be a good addition that could help catch these BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHst... goats. 😂
If you were catching flies, I'm told honey works better than vinegar. I'm thinking there's a correlation. "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." ...And I guess, curling and thermonuclear war.
Seems like just a year ago your daughter was just a tiny little girl. I always find it confusing/scary when UA-camrs have their kids in videos, you don't watch them often, then you watch a one of their video and the kids are almost adults now. I must have a very bad concept of how much time passed.
We had goats at a young age. To catch them you have to do a classic manouver. Don't look at them, stand up straight walk around casually, and do a swift ninja grab on the back leg. 60% of the time, it works every time
You are doing it wrong Destin. Why do you think that you will catch a goat by scaring the poor animal beforehand. Also, trying to grab its head is the other bad idea. A pro tip: you better try and grab the rear leg, just above the knee. Done. Thank me for that later. Trust me, I've done this many times.
You should approach it slowly and put your body lower on its level so that you seem smaller. As soon as you come close enough(it should be done by the person they now and trust) you make a fast move with your body and catch the horns firmly with hands (preferable a man couse of more strength in arms genetically) while putting goats body between you legs firmly. As its a small goat you can just walk it where you want while holding its horns(it doesn't hurt them at all). !never put your face near its horns! They can make sudden moves with there heads.
The one thing that goats cannot resist is "sweet feed". It also doesn't help that goats have 340deg vision. I had both small breeds and a large breeds. I found that to catch them you obviously want to protect yourself from the horns so best to grab them by the horns. Then if you turn their head sideways they become quite docile so you can collar them or provide preventative veterinary treatment. Fun video to watch. Keep up the good work.
No partial credits for this challenge. Either success or faillure, but you can learn from it and get success the next time. :) Allegedly goats can be great pets being comfortable with humans if they are raised with humans.
I feel like your goat-catching-effectiveness could be increased a lot by not carrying a phone in one hand.^^
