MoTownChickie from what I've heard fainters were bred to run w/ flocks of sheep, if a preditor came after them the fainters would faint, the preditors would eat them and leave the sheep alone!

I'm not sure if what my goats are playing is tag or not, but I sure can't make a move without the whole herd following me.
Yesterday, while I was putting all the big goats in for the night, my baby La Mancha jumped in my Border Collie's pool. He stayed in there sort of playing for a while and not at all shocked that he was standing in a foot of water before he calmly walked out. I just assumed, when I saw him out of the corner of my eye as I turned around, that it was a dog; I'm sure he's been watching too much BORDER COLLIE!

I adore the really tiny goats (Ones that stay tiny) but the larger goat breeds really bother me. I have to say my choice is the sheep. They are a lot more pleasant imo. <3

My DD runs around the pen, zig zagging around trees and such. The goats follow her but then eventually they take a shortcut and win.

My DS likes to play king of the stump with the girls. They always win.

Goats are so much fun and very playful.

Sounds like fainting goats. My DS wants me to get one just so he can watch it faint. I've seen it in videos....it really is funny, but I wouldn't want to scare them just for entertainment.
