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.
Of course, when a smelly male goat is introduced to a herd of females they will almost all be in heat in about 11 days. That makes me think that its not all a defensive weapon. The mother goats take turns babysitting the kids while the other mothers are out browsing.
