So... I want a goat. As a pet. Doesn't really matter what kind, but I'm certainly partial to a few certain breeds:
The Pygmy Goat

I want you to look at this picture. Ok, look away (but not forever, make sure to look back in a second!), and then look at the picture *again*. How is it even possible that more of these cute animals are not pets? And don't give me that "blah blah blah, goats eat anything including furniture or papers or clothing, or blah blah blah its a farm animal and it can't live in a yard like a dog", cause I'm just not hearin' all that jibba-jabba. Pygmy goats rock.
The Angora Goat

This picture almost makes me giggle. Look at them. Such majestic, such proud, such... wooly animals. I don't really want this type of goat, but I needed another breed of goat to make my list of 3 favorites balanced!
And this brings us to...
THE MYOTONIC (OR FAINTING) GOAT!!!!11oneone!!11

Whew... I really want a fainting goat. Like. Bad. I can think of no better stress relief than running out and scaring the beh-jezus out of a goat, that, instead of running away, falls over on its back and its leg stiffen up for a couple seconds. Plus, it's all natural! It doesn't hurt the goat, and sadly, it eventually learns to stay on its feet when it happens. Nevertheless, the fainting goat is the ultimate pet.
So there we have it, a short review of awesome goat breeds, with your host, Eric. If they sold goats on Amazon, I would totally have a few of them on my wishlist there.

dude, you didn't state the history of the fainting goat. they were bred that way to be the sacrifice to save the flock (thus the term "scapegoat"). when the big bad wolf came, they'd pass out and be an easy meal, so he left the flock alone. maybe you should get in touch with a breeder http://www.faintinggoat.com/ but beware of the split scrotum... nobody wants one of those on their goats.
