Schmidt (surname) Schmidt is a common German occupational surname derived from the German word Schmied meaning blacksmith and/or metalworker. This surname is the German equivalent of Smith in the English-speaking world.
The sound is called a bleat. As to what the sound actually sounds like, that depends on the breed of goat. My Nigerian dwarfs, on the other hand, make a sound similar to that of a sheep.
Alpines and LaManchas both produce fairly rich milk, Toggenburgs produce thinner milk, and Nigerian Pygmy goats produce small quantities of creamy milk. Angora goats can be raised for their mohair, Cashmere goats for their luxurious fiber, and Pygmy and dwarf goats are often kept as pets.Boer, Spanish and Kiko goats are meat breeds. For details on choosing a goat breed, see âGet Your Goatâ in the November/December 2008 Grit (www.Grit.com/Animals/Get-Your-Goat.aspx).reating the goats as pets is made fun with a goat jungle gym. Raising goats can be fun, rewarding and frustrating â all at the same time. My first goat, Zygota, was a hellion. Milking was a battle where she performed a flamenco dance, often stomping her foot (triumphantly, it seemed) in the milk pail.
