ROTFLMAO!!!

That goat is a better actor than the guy! Spits and screams right on cue.

And when the guy asks the goat if he's getting assistance from the government - and the goat gives him that "WTF are you talking about?" look - just effin priceless!

Reminds me of why they call the Chief Petty Officer quarters on board ship "the goat locker".

Probably a lot funnier for those fluent in Espanol.

Guy who sent me this link doesn't speak spanish, but I see what you mean. Still, the sense of futility comes through just fine.

There's a version over in the sidebar with English subtitles.

But reading the subtitles takes away from the experience IMO - funnier in the Spanish version just watching that goat go nuts.

That's a buck in rut by the way. If that guy got in that pen with him, then we'd have real show.

I can think of some people I would like to see in there with him!

how can you tell he's in rut?

Is it seasonal with domestic goats as it is with wild ruminants?

I'm guessing he's in rut because his behavior is typical of a penned up boy with only one thing on his mind. There is a reason the goat is an ancient symbol of libidinous abandon and fertility. You don't want to get between a buck in rut and any does in heat. Anyone who approaches my bucks in their pens during breeding season will experience that kind of frustrated aggression or worse. There are a few breeds of domestic goats that can breed year round, but for most breeds it's seasonal. Does begin having their heats about three weeks apart in the fall, lasting until they are bred or if not exposed to a buck ending in the spring. Here, it's roughly late September or October till March.
I have to keep my bucks behind three layers of fencing with 6 inches of space between each layer to prevent breeding through the fence. The does in heat will back right up to the fence and drive the poor guys nuts.
