This is cute, but I’m a little shaken that I don’t know the difference between a goat and a sheep

You can tell it’s actually a goat by the way the tail stands up. A sheep’s tail (unless docked) hangs down.

Is that the only difference?

u/AdministrativeLeg14 1h ago
No, but (a) it’s one of the easiest and most obvious differences, (b) it’s very objective (no need to handwave and say it looks more goat-like in the face), and (c) …I’m not that good at this, and it’s the one easy criterion I knew off the top of my head.
Apparently another difference is that sheep, but not goats, have a distinct philtrum dividing their upper lip, which is more helpful from the front, but I must admit that I read that just now. There are others. In the video, I looked for the tail because it’s easy.

Oh a sheep definitely would. I haven’t worked with sheep too much but the work I have done with them absolutely convinced me they are the dumbest. Watched one give birth to her lamb at night in the cold, she managed to position herself with her backside to the pen gate so that her lamb would be born on the other side of the gate. Outside, on cold wet concrete, while she lay and munched on straw on her nice thick bed. Luckily we did the rounds every hour even at night and found the poor little lamb quickly enough. Mum didn’t give a flying F.

Not all sheep have wool. Hair sheep are very common. A sheep is way fucking more likely to freak out like this than a goat. Goats are generally more friendly toward people.
Easiest tell: goats = shorter tail up, sheep = longer tail down

Had the exact same reaction when I fell asleep and woke up in class back in high school.
