Hello IdahoNancy
RE:The Eye contact Study
I recognize your math breakdown and can agree with it.
The thing I don't agree with having worked with (Egg Head) horse studies with the WSU.
Is that most of them doing the study on goats don't know what END THE HAY GOES IN and were the Goat Berries come out.
I managed the WSU horse herd for a few years on the WSU Farm. It was not unusual to have a PHD Instructor come up and ask " How do you do this, can you catch horse # for the students to examine.
Students I had no problem helping out many had never been around Large animals. No problem they got a extra free Horse 101 class from me and often came back after school to sit around the barn and learn more.
Back to topic:
Any of us that work goats knows how often they look directly at you to see what you are doing or thinking.
Maybe we all Pack Goat people should do a "Study" on working Goat we have on the "Eye Contact" thing.
It would not cost the public millions of dollars either and be a paper that would factually prove the concept and intelligence of working goats.

Enjoy this working mine goat picture.
Moving on:
How many times have you seen your goats look back and make eye contact like this with you?
What way do we go
