One of the guys at work showed me it yesterday....it's absolutely hilarious. Apparently, when they feel threatened and scared, their legs lock up and they fall over...hence their name.,..looks like they're fainting....

Just seems cruel to me

Creationist will love this, only God could create an animal that stupid. Darwin must be spinning in his evolutionary grave

They probably heard you prefer goats to sheep Gynggyr would cause anything to faint.

Aye it would make them easier to catch.
Wonder how much the cost?
Ren honey can you trawl the interweb for me and find out? It's not as if you're going to do anything else today tbh

Here u go gyng......some info on prices

Q: How can I find fainting goats to purchase?

A: Contact your state's Cooperative Extension office, usually run out of a major university (typically the leading agricultural university in the state; here in Michigan, it's Michigan State University). They are likely to have breeder lists and other useful information.

Q: How much do they cost?

A: Price varies greatly and depends on many things, including age, gender, area of country, etc. Typically, you can expect to pay anywhere between $300 and $600 for a fainter.

Cheers hon.
$300-$600 is a bit steep when you consider that I can pop round the corner and find whole mountainsides full of sheep for nowt.

Yes, but sheep don't do the sa......oh, hang on, ur welsh.... .

So true I had to say it twice

Yeah but surely there's no challenge with these Gynggr? It'd be like shooting fish in a barrel for you. Still the temporary stiffening of the back legs should make it easier to get them in your wellies.
