Salt seems to be what the goats are after.

"Lake in the valley Campliccioli antrona (vb) in about 2.30 hours climb on foot to the dam of Lake Cingino
here is normal to find (and photograph) the mountain goats that climb the almost vertical wall of the dam to greedily licking the salt from the stones
it is advisable to complete the trip loop along the long tunnel that leads to the lake of Enel Camposecco and from there back to Campliccioli
the video is recommended for insomniacs": D

I would think it would get tenderized on the way down.
