So I added Goat smilie. Seems to be a lot of other goat enthusiast here.
Lets use this thread to tell our best goat stories.
When I was a kid my family packed their bags and left the big city. We moved out in the middle of nowhere to get back to our roots (Anglo Saxon...not sure what they meant by that), and part of those roots included live stock.
One of the aforementioned livestock was an African Pygmy Goat names Buffy.
We got Buffy when she was about a year old. She was house broken, so at first we had a goat roaming around the house, but as she aged she had to go out.
Turns out goats will eat things they're not supposed to and butt into things. Who'd a thunk it?
So one summer I'm out feeding the chickens. Buffy's pin is close to the chicken pin but she's no where to be found. The garage is a couple of hundred yards from the barn, and I had been out their earlier listening to Howard Stern and smoking cigarettes. I was not a good kid.
So I'm feeding the chickens when I hear "Baaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh" and then silence. I go running up to the house as fast as I can. As a fat kid it's not that fast, but it is super sweaty making me aerodynamic.
I get into the garage and Buffy is rising from the ground,licking her lips and blinking a stupid amount. I then realize what happened.
She chewed through the radio cord and electrocuted herself pretty bad. Being a goat she was not to be dissuaded, so she started a fight and I took her to the ground (Goats do that.).
So what are your good goat stories? I fear this is going to be an extremely busy thread, so lets limit out submissions to one a day so everyone can keep up.
Go!
