My Latest Obsession: Fainting Goats

| | Comments (0)
I was recently alerted to the existence of fainting goats, and I am obviously intrigued:



I also learned that fainting goats have many other names, including:

  • Myotonic Goats
  • Tennessee (Meat) Goats
  • Nervous Goats
  • Stiff-leg Goats
  • Wooden-leg Goats
  • Tennessee Scare Goats

And also that "when startled, younger goats will stiffen and fall over. Older goats learn to spread their legs or lean against something when startled, and often they continue to run about in an awkward, stiff-legged shuffle."

So consider this official notice that the miniature pony ranch I will be running in Hawaii when I retire will now be the "Kotara Industries Miniature Pony and Myotonic Goat Ranch." 

Oh my goodness, what if miniature fainting goats exist somewhere out there!?  Or maybe I can cross-breed my miniponies with the scaregoats??  Miniatonic Ponygoats?
