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.
Also, different BREEDS of goat sound very different. Saanen (white dairy goat breed) goats sound very similar to sheep except their voice is higher pitched -- but Nubian (long eared dual purpose goat breed) goats sound very much like a crying human child/baby.
