Fainting away

This is a video you just have to see. A friend of mine pointed it out saying I had to watch it for a good laugh. I’ve heard of fainting goats, and know they are popular as a smaller meat breed and great all around pet goat, but I’ve never actually seen one or seen the trait they’re most famous for–fainting. When you startle these interesting goats, they actually go stiff, some just walk stiffly, or hop, but some actually fall to the ground, hence the name ‘fainting’ goat. This is a cool video that shows that aspect of them, as well as hearing a breeder of these goats talk about what makes them such wonderful goats to have around.

I’m going to have to control the urge to get one, or two… or three… or… oh stop me now. My friend said I need one. Sigh, yeah, I need more goats. LOL
