goat bleating question

I have a goat question now -- I have a female goat that is about 5 years old and bleats all the time really, really loudly and the neighbors are starting to complain and I'm not zoned for goats. Is there anything I can do to (well... shut her up)??? What's wrong with her? I'm almost at the point where I'd be willing to sell her for meet (she's 300+lbs) nubian and pygmy mix. Any suggestions? I've even considered trying to put a muzzle on her... unfortunately the only way I can quite her is to keep running out and throwing bread at her, but she apparently makes noise when I'm at work and can't help her. She's not hungry towards the end of the loaf and continues to keep bleating. Someone mentioned that she may be in season -- but if thats the case then she has been in season for the past 3 years every day or something???? Any suggestions??? Anyone want a pet goat???

does she have horns? not that it pertains to the bleeting..but was wondering

Yes, she has horns as her sister does and there's even a younger goat that I introduced in October. I just don't know what to do -- its irratating as heck!!! Do llama's make noise?

ONLY if they see goats

Any other suggestions??? Any takers??? She has even been on tv a few years ago. I was asked by Channel 9 to do be in a weather promo for topper shut (long story) anyways the commercial kept airing and people for some reason thought they were black dogs that I had next to me... I love the two girls and would hate to split them up but I just don't know what else to do... btw, ever since I started this thread not a peep out of her... Is their voice box surgury or something vets do for this? Don't get me wrong, I knew what I was getting into when I got the goats but I never seen one sooo darned vocal... I don't mind the bleats -- its just when its all day long that I can't take it.

Both Nubian and pygmy are loud most of the time- I breed nubians and my neighbors can tell you that! If you want a quiet goat look for a Saanen or a La Mancha. It probably isn't being loud for any other reason than it can

Well if you want a nice big nanny goat let me know (she's black with brown eyelids) She never used to be this noisey and her sister is not as noisey. I understand they make noise -- but Dayummm not this much! I just don't know what to do with her at this point other than to put her down or sell her for meat. I'd hate to do either but something has to be done!

goats go into heat every 21 days usually from Aug-Jan. Pygmys howevery will go in all year long. you can get her bred and see if that quiets her down some...

MM or JH would probably do it for you.

I'll have to let MM take care of this one, I don't need anything following me around saying, "daaaaaadddyyyy".

I'd take her but I do not do "horney" goats...not good with with horses

So, you'll take her after MM is done with her?
