Boer Goats

Saturday, August 29, 2009

Meet Chummix, a boer goat so strong he’s injured keepers and butted his stall door off its hinges at the Museum of Science and Life in Durham, N.C.

Marilyn, one of six animal keepers who blogs for the museum, describes teaching Chummix to walk, accept a halter and learn a bit more about manners. Click here to see a video of Chummix learning clicker-training.
