Description

I captured this image at Kinder Farm Park in Millersville Maryland, focusing on the goat, leaving the spigot slightly unfocused but including the fence, pasture late evening sky, and long shadows. I added a portion of another capture to the bottom that included the water trough with mostly frozen water. The goat is looking directly towards the lens and the trough as though it's been difficult to get a drink today.

An intact adult male goat is called a buck. A castrated male goat is called a wether. An adult female goat is called a doe. ... The terms "Nanny" (female) and "Billy" (male) to differentiate the sexes are in general disfavor in "official" goat circles.

The goat is a hardy domesticated ruminant animal that has backward curving horns and (in the male) a beard. It is kept for its milk and meat and is noted for its lively and frisky behavior.

The sound that goats make is called bleat or bleating. It's a wavered call or cry. The term bleat or bleating is also used to describe the sound of sheep or calf. Goats bleat normally to communicate with other farm animals or goats.
