  • Haoie, on 06/07/2009, -1/+35Must be no easy feet for a goat.
  • badqat, on 06/07/2009, -1/+35Wow, you're incredibly lazy, and quite the troll, aren't you? A video is embedded at the bottom of the page, but since you're too lazy (or rather, just didn't even bother) to RTFA, you didn't realize that, did you?
  • CHICKImonkey, on 06/08/2009, -0/+29Seriously, what is it with goats on Digg?

  • Thorpe, on 06/08/2009, -3/+28An star at just 1,000 YouTube video hits?
  • DangerCollie, on 06/08/2009, -0/+18Goats are pretty smart when it comes to getting food. I've got a couple that come up to the fence and start licking their lips and making exaggerated chewing motions to beg for grain.

    To give you an example of how clever they can be, I was out hammering on a support beam in their shelter one day and my big billy walks over, sticks his head in my tool bucket and, out of all the other tools in there, he pulls out the only other hammer and starts bobbing his head up and down like he's swinging it. Laughed my ass off. Then I took a swig of Gatorade and put the cap on the bottle and set it down. Billy walks over picks up the bottle by the top and starts tilting his head back like he was trying to drink out of it. He was aping me. It was hilarious. He doesn't do that all the time, but they're definitely clever rascals. If one of them figures out a trick to get food, they'll all start copying that behavior.

  • sindex, on 06/08/2009, -0/+7Video posted March 2, 2008??

    So, it's really more like, "old video of goat "waving" being dredged up to generate hits because of Digg's fascination with goats over the last 6 months."

    Lame.

  • daridave, on 06/08/2009, -1/+6Title should read "we're trying to make this goat an Internet star. click, watch it, pretend it's awesome."

  • mikemehak, on 06/08/2009, -0/+1We have a goat and it doesn't do these tricks.

    It does however know how to let horses out of stalls in the night. It can eat a variety of staples, nails and various other objects.

    I should talk to this farms 'marketing manager' and see how i can make my goat more internet famous
