Fainting goats again

I've strained my knee so posting and visitng will be light. In teh meantime here are some fainting goats. Actually they don't really faint rather they have a genetic condition called myotonia congenita which makes them appear to faint when stressed - as can be seen below.



Here is a website devoted to fainting goats
