What is the way to a goats heart?

Hi everyone! Thanks for reading! We're in March here, and so far it's been just as windy as ever! But anyway, the goats do pretty good in the wind. All though they do NOT appreciate  snow or rain. But anyway, we are done kidding for right now. Our last kid was a stocky little kid, and hopefully, I'll have a picture of her on here shortly. So far we are trying to decide on which shows to go to. The state fair is a definite, although we didn't make it out there last year, I think we can do that much this year. We are also hoping that we will go to the local Basin Stockshow. We have some big kids, and although that's a good thing, it kids really hard to train them all. Just yesterday I was in the pen with them all, one would get the nose of it's halter off, and I'd kneel down to try to put it back on, and another goat would climb up on my back, so I'd turn around to push that goat off, and the next goat would be half suffocating to death because IT'S nose was to TIGHT! You can't win with them, but I never, ever, ever catch more then 3 goats at a time, so I guess it all works out. But the way they work is the way to their heart is through their stomach. So some grain, and they sit very VERY still. And if you brush them it works very well. Because their shedding at the moment, they love it when you take a curry come and brush brush brush. SO anyway, I'll right an article on training goats later, but right now I think I hear them calling,
