yes, kow that, too. I carry a long walking/herding stick for that reason.
it makes a nice barrier in front of you, carried horizontal and waggled up and down in front of charging goats - the occassional whup on the nose brings the point across.
When the goats walk in front of me and think about blocking my way I tip them gently with the stick on their hindquarters to keep them moving or against their sides to tell them to move out of the way.
Basically the same that Nancy does :-)
