agent_orange Enthusiast Posts: 165 Kudos: 77 Votes: 31 Registered: 05-Dec-2002	The first time I seen them was on Dirty Jobs. I found it humorous watching Mike Rowe chasing them around and them not fainting. It is an odd trait to breed for, one that wouldn't survive in the wild. What does that mean, Bob? "Till the cows come home." Where have the cows been?

As they get older they get better at keeping their balance though. <Vet in Training> Blog under development: http://www.nearlydrferox.blogging4life.com/

FishKeeperJim Big Fish Member MTS Anonymous Posts: 348 Kudos: 208 Votes: 186 Registered: 09-Jan-2007	Yea I too saw them on Dirty Jobs, as to why they were breed with that trait they explained it on the show. They would mix in the fainting goats with the more expensive ones so that if a wolf or something along those lines went after the herd they could have the fainting goat and leave the others along. Really mean I think, , but thats how we got the term scapegoat. They were the first true scapegoats out there. mts.gif" border="0"> I vote do you? My Tanks at Photobucket
