Please go and have sex with goats
That second video reminds me of mom’s past pigmy goat Louie.
Mom loves animals. She still has three Thoroughbred horses and a half dozen dogs at any time. At 79, her riding days are behind her. This is a lady that kept a turtle she found in the road in her spare bathtub for close to twenty years and had a cotton tail rabbit house broken to use a cat’s litter box. Lady is a giver.
Back to Louie. Goats are by nature nasty animals. I don’t give a crap for those espousing Goat Yoga. A goat pisses and shits where it wants. Louie thought he was one of the dog pack. Cept he was happy to crap on the patio, walk ways of porch.
Caught the little bastard running his horned head against the wheel well of my car. Grabbed him and pulled him away. Little bastard rared up as if to charge me. Grabbed him again. Third time he came in I kicked him in the side of the head. Not hard enough to hurt him but, little bastard had skills. I ended up hosing him down. This wasn’t our first go around.
Moral and reason for the post?
Goats are nasty.
Goats piss and shit where they want, at will.
Don’t let your mother get a goat as a pet.
Goats are pretty much fearless and have head butting skills.
Go watch the linked video.
“The merest accident of microgeography had meant that the first man to hear the voice of Om, and who gave Om his view of humans, was a shepherd and not a goatherd. They have quite different ways of looking at the world, and the whole of history might have been different. For sheep are stupid, and have to be driven. But goats are intelligent, and need to be led.”
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods (Discworld, #13)

Never had a goat go on the milking stand.
Otherwise, tho…
Hey Joe
Maybe you should be a bit more cheerful when you interact with goats…
