Actually my statement about the coyotes wasn't too far off from what I can derive online.
There's a theory on this breed of goat that they're where the term 'scapegoat' came from. The theory is that they were bred specifically for the 'fainting' so that they could put them to pasture with larger more valuable animals. When a wolf or some predator attacks the herd, the goats are the easy targets and the other more valuable animals get away.
But that raises questions.
I wonder how they went about breeding a fainting goat? I guess the actual 'act of breeding' it wouldn't be that hard (although I wouldn't want the job myself, some might) since it ain't likely to run away!
But how would someone a hundred years ago, or whatever it was, isolate the fainting trait?
How many goats did they have to go through to find more with the trait?
And how did they go about finding the trait in other goats?
I guess some goat herder/breeder went around the countryside sneaking up on goats and jumping out from behind a bush yelling; "BOOO Goat!!!".
If it fainted he bred it! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

an elderly gentlemen that lived down the street from us in Florida had those.
We would spend afternoons harrassing those poor things.
Damn they were funny though.
Seems like i read somewhere that they don't actually faint.
They have something like muscle spasms??

I wondered where that fainting trait came from. Seemed to me that would have pretty much made these goats extinct in the wild. Then I found this, from a guy that breeds and sells them. Seems all the goast in a herd didn't have the trait only a few.
Makes sense.The fainting trait was a trait that is the ultimate "herd" trait...when a predator jumps a herd, an individual or two faints, the rest of the herd runs off and the couple of indviduals are sacrificed for the good of the herd. Tough for the individual, but great for the well being of the entire herd.

Mergy, have you never seen fainting goats before this? I can't believe an old codger like you ain't got a dozen of em in yer back yard.
There's old fella in Jalapa, goes by the name of D. B. Parr, who's got a herd of fianting goats. He is one of the funniest people I've ever met. I went over there and rolled on the ground laughing at that old man fuckin with them goats.

I’ve got two of these now. It makes a fun afternoon watching them.
