Pulse indicates the goat’s heart rate. Normal pulse for a goat is 70 to 90 beats per minute. Kids’ heart rates may be twice that fast. To take your goat’s pulse:

1 Make sure she is calm and resting.

2 Find the goat’s artery below and slightly inside the jaw with your fingers.

3 Watching a clock, count the number of beats in 15 seconds.

4 Multiply that number by four to get the pulse rate.
