Don't shampoo goats, they fuckin hate water and will be massive assholes about it

Brush them every few days or so and they're fine (that's overkill but I like to let mine) and if something nasty gets on them soaking the brush with warm water usually makes them okay-ish with the water so you can get the gunk off em

Baphomet, being a goat and from hell, is very similar I'd assume, but probably even more averse to water

Counterpoint: create a field of brambles for your goats to wander through when they get itchy so you don’t have to brush them.

Bonus: those brambles are blackberry bushes so you can wander through them and eat breakfast.

And gather goat fur to spin into cordage or make brushes from.

Won't the goats just eat the blackberry bushes?

I was literally about to reply to them

Yeah, immediately and voraciously

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They're hired out in lots of places because of their appetite for things others won't eat. The blackberry has become invasive in parts and the thick growths of them can become impenetrable

Yeap, and they'll eat right through the "impenetrable" bushes like they're nothing, it's super impressive

This is one of mine that destroyed a couple of my berry bushes when they broke down my fence

What a goat! I assume they're responsible for the broken planter tray as well?

Also I didn't see the alt text until I replied. Do you have more pictures of your beasties?? I love goats!

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

That was actually a plate that got accidentally left out and yeah, that little shit is the one responsible for it

I have more pics over at https://pixelfed.social/gamermanh - though I don't remember to post nearly often enough. Which is a good reminder to do so now, actually.....

Free trimming.

The wet brush didn't work for me, what others don't mention is the heat. A wet brush melts away quickly, Baphomet need specialized metal tooth comb (the kind you use with hell cats).

If you are good at metallurgy, you can identify the dirt substance and develop magma, specific to cleaning that particular thing.

Normally, just use Hellflame lvl10 and then brush off the ashes.
