They should know that children should be wise in their approach to the question of nicknames. There are various recommendations from experienced pastoralists on how to name a goat.

Every kid needs a nickname

The appearance of young animals on a goat farm is always a joyful event. But, like all children, young children require a lot of attention. Not the least of all fears is the choice of the name of the animal.

Name Criteria for Children

First of all, you need to decide whether to leave the child for fattening or plan to kill him with milk. In the second case, you do not need to give nicknames, as you can name a goat or choose a name for the children if they go to the barbecue. The man is so arranged that he naturally gets used to and becomes attached to his pets. The named animal is already perceived as a member of the family, and therefore psychological problems may arise with the consumption of meat of such a cloven-hoofed animal.

List of basic criteria if a nickname for a young goat is selected:

• breed of the animal and appearance;
• temporary lambing season;
• the number of cubs per litter.

Many goat owners believe that a well-chosen nickname can affect the taste of meat and milk. This belief has a scientific explanation. A cow or a goat is largely guided not by the phrases awarded to the animal, but by the intonation of a person. A farmer will pronounce a good nickname affectionately, which will allow artiodactyls to relax and eat well. Milk in these animals, as a rule, has a pleasant taste and is rich in nutrients. A coarse goat nickname, pronounced with a sharp intonation, puts the animal under stress, because of which it can stop eating. In this situation, the milk of the animal may become watery, and in some cases even a chasm. That is why experienced cattle breeders caress the cloven-hoofed animals before milking, and then thank them with warm words and delicious food. Such simple actions have a pet for a person.

A kid’s nickname should not contain a lot of growling or hissing sounds, diminutive and affectionate names in use. Do not rename the artiodactyls – goats quickly get used to their nicknames and can be confusing. It is desirable that it be voiced, in this case it is easier to call the animal from a walk.

Human names for goats

If you plan to fatten a kid, first you need to know whether this is a boy or a girl. And proceed from the general principles for selecting nicknames. In this regard, it makes little difference whether you come up with a name for a cow, goat or puppy.

It’s best if the nickname for the kid is monosyllabic or two-syllable, so that it’s easier for the animal to remember, and it’s easier for you to pronounce.

Try not to give the goats human nicknames. There may be people with the same name in your environment that can cause confusion and conflict. Exceptions are perhaps the names of famous historical figures. It is unlikely that in your life you will meet a person of someone Bonaparte and his abridged version of Bonnie.

Local human names are given only in the case of a stable tradition in a particular region and such nicknames are always diminutive. An animal is never called a person’s full name for ethical reasons.
