Psychic Goats?

I used to work for a biotechnology firm that used goat blood to do genetic research. I took care of the goats, about 1200 of them. They were well taken care of and every once in awhile they would draw a little blood from them by trained vets without hurting them. One of my jobs was to capture the goats that were going to the vet. I had a list of numbers (each goat had a numbered tag) and was sent into the yard to grab the goats. But as soon as I identified the goat, the second we locked eyes, the goat knew what was up and take off. It was like they were psychic. To catch them, I would have to sneak up on the goat and not make any eye contact. Sometimes I would think of another number than that of the goat I was trying to catch. This seemed to work
It was perhaps the strangest job I ever had. It was only tense on those days we had to separate the goats from the herd. Otherwise, it was a beautiful ranch and I spent many hours just chilling with the goats.
